Ah Gu specializes in Heyuan Hakka cuisine and has six branches in Shenzhen.
Agu has an agricultural product production base in Heyuan Kanghe, which can ensure the taste of ingredients from the source. The cold melon is slightly bitter and not astringent, and the characteristics make the filling of the cold melon add crushed fungus, which adds a lot of chewing fun; At the same time, a layer of flour beans is spread on the bottom of the melon, and the meat is fragrant and glutinous after being soaked in the gravy. The local pig soup is also quite standard, using wild longevity pig into the cup, adding mountain spring water to simmer for a long time, the soup is rich and sweet, but the store has a great preference for pepper, and you will feel that the throat is slightly spicy when drinking, and the overall seasoning is much more domineering than other stores.
Although it is already an old guest restaurant, Agu's products have not been stable, and they have declined seriously in recent years. Salt-baked chicken is a signature dish, which is claimed to be raised for 240 days before being served, but from the perspective of the finished product, the chicken is too old and hairy, and the salt deduction is not allowed to cause the saltiness to be out of control, the heat and time are not grasped well, the chicken skin is too salty and the chicken is tasteless, and even the appearance is as good as the taste. Famous dishes such as stuffed tofu, fish head in casserole, and three-cup duck are also frequently missed and lost, and they are really no longer the glory of the past.
From the point of view of service, it is not optimistic, the waiters in the hall are mostly older aunts, often wandering during meals, asking for guests in the left ear and out of the right ear, and often showing impatience. The decoration style of Ah Gu is relatively simple, the gray walls and wooden benches are traditional Lingnan style, but the hygiene condition is really average, the tables and chairs are sticky to the skin, and the atmosphere of the dining area near the toilet is not very good. If you work nearby or want to find a restaurant to eat, Agu's set meal on the online platform is still very cost-effective, only about 40 yuan per person. If you order your own food, you should pay attention to the pre-dinner snacks on the table are charged, vegetarian food is 3 yuan/serving, meat food is 5 yuan/serving, ordinary tea is 2 yuan/person, and directly ask you if you want Pu'er or Tieguanyin is 5 yuan/person. In addition, although there are chefs and waiters on duty after the lunch market closes, only stir-fried vegetables and chicken and duck can be ordered, so it is recommended to go to the meal at meal time.
