Speaking of Bama, because of its concept of "longevity", it has become more and more popular in China in recent years. Guangxi Bama Changshou Village consists of 3 villages, and the original village name was replaced by "Changshou Village" due to the pension economy. Although the village is small, it is highly commercialized. Bama is now popular in the capital market, largely thanks to Liaoning Satellite TV's "Wang Gang Tells Stories". In May 2009, "The Mystery of the 100-year-old Bama People", Wang Gang told the longevity situation of Bama County with great tension: among the 20,000 or 30,000 people in the county, there are more than 70 centenarians, and there are even 140-year-old longevity elderly people. In fact, Bama County has a population of 270,000, and the Guinness Book of World Records records for the longest lived person is Moloko Temo (died in 2008, aged 134), a South African village woman.
In addition, in 1991, Keiichi Morishita, president of the International Association of Natural Medicine, visited Bama and recognized it as the "world's fifth longevity town", which laid a solid foundation. Upon inquiry, the so-called "International Association of Natural Medicine" is just a health care product marketing group.
Huayu has a high reputation in Shenzhen because of the highway industry. In 2009, Huayu officially entered Bama and operated high-end health care, organic agriculture, eco-tourism, water resource utilization and other projects. The positioning of the Parma Cottage is similar to the experience store set up by Huayu Organization in Shenzhen to convey the concepts of ecology and health preservation to diners. According to the waiter, most of the ingredients used in the restaurant come from Bama's farm, Huayu Bama Demeter Organic Farm, to bring diners as much as possible the original Bama experience. It is worth noting that Parma Lodge does not specialize in Cantonese cuisine, and most of the restaurant's dishes are based on Cantonese cuisine.
The menu at Parma Lodge is more chic, and it is said that the menu changes from season to season, but it generally does not change much. The store provides signature dishes, farm healthy dishes, high-quality cold dishes, stir-fried dishes, local fresh fish from Bama, seafood, claypot and other series.
The most worthwhile dishes are the signature dishes, among which the original roast lamb chops and stewed beef are must-try. The cooking power of the original grilled lamb chops is just right, the meat is very crispy, and in the process of chewing in the mouth, the aroma of the mutton is overflowing, very mellow, but the taste is a little chai, and eating too much will bring some greasy feeling. Braised beef is perfect for those who like to eat meat. The chef first cuts the fresh beef into large cubes, then spreads it with a special sauce and simmers it over a low flame to make the sauce slowly absorb the flavor without aging the beef. Finally, simmer with the cauliflower in a small pot. The juice of each piece of beef is very abundant, and when you bite into it, it is very soft and tender, and the meat has a mellow flavor, and then slowly melts in the mouth, and you can enjoy it a lot.
Grilled hemp tofu is the most popular dish and the most inexpensive. Unlike the usual tofu method, the chef first goes through the tofu slightly in a pan of oil to toughen the skin. The whole piece of tofu is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and as you chew, the soft tofu inside spreads and flows in all directions, giving it a charming aroma. Again, eating too much of this dish will make you a little tired. In addition, the sesame chicken is also very flavorful, the meat is smooth and tender, there is no excess juice, and the taste is delicate.
The area of the Parma Cottage is not large, but the environment is very exquisite, which can be seen that the store pursues a refined farmhouse style, which is in line with the concept of Huayu Organization to convey the concept of health and ecology to diners. Although the place is small, there are two small and one large, with a total of 3 private rooms. Among them, the privacy of the two small private rooms is not good enough, only the mats and other objects are isolated from the hall.
The location of the Parma Lodge is very remote, and you need to pass by the highway to get there by car, so it is recommended to plan the route in advance, otherwise you may not find the road. If you can't find it, it's a good idea to call the restaurant and ask them to show you the way. If you're coming by bus, it's much easier to find your way. Once at the Red Gate bus stop, use the Gaode map to navigate to the Parma Hut.
