The old squad leader took root in Guangzhou in 1995, and it was a shop opened by a Cantonese singer Li Xiaolin in the 80s, occupying a corner of Guangzhou's memory of soup dumplings. For many years, there has been no semicolon, but in the past two years, it has obtained venture capital from White Horse International Investment Holdings Co., Ltd., and has begun to operate as a chain, and it has also transformed from an old shop in the alley into a shopping mall fast food restaurant. The branches of the old squad leader are all directly operated and have not joined. The menu of the branch is consistent, and soup dumplings and steamed dumplings are the main sticks. The signature No. 1 soup dumplings are filled with fresh meat, and the beef soup dumplings are also decent, the Jinsha soup dumplings are filled with soft and fluffy salted egg yolks, and the vegetarian dumplings are vegan fillings, containing eggs, vermicelli, carrots, mushrooms, leeks, etc., with a rich and unique taste. Compared with the general soup dumplings that rely on pork skin to freeze the juice, the improved old squad leader is more inclined to use the broth and the meat itself to produce the juice, the chicken soup to adjust the freshness, and the small grinding sesame oil to enhance the fragrance. It is best to eat the soup dumplings as soon as possible after they are baked, and the skin will be dry for more than 5 minutes, the meat juice will be reduced, and the meat filling will become cold, which will affect the taste. There are more than 20 kinds of cold dishes in the old squad leader, which occupy half of the menu. There are signature sauce beef, spicy money tripe, cold tofu shreds, cool kelp shreds, green crispy seaweed, cordyceps flower crispy bamboo shoots, etc., there are a variety of choices. But as the store has moved from a small shop in the alley to a shopping mall, the price has risen a lot, but the portion has become even less. Corn porridge, whole grain porridge, and freshly ground spring water soy milk are excellent pairings for eating soup dumplings, so you might as well try them. The overall taste of the old squad leader is lighter than before, and it is more in line with the concept of health. After the old squad leader settled in the mall, the overall decoration style took the young route, concise and neat, clean and bright. The design of the new store integrates elements such as steamers, old photos of old stores, and illustrations, which is an innovation in the revitalization of the old brand, and the store is highly recognizable. Lao Banchang currently has more than a dozen branches in Guangzhou, and the branches are expanding rapidly, as a local brand in Guangzhou, not only has a branch in Shenzhen, but also opened its first branch in Beijing in August 2017. The old squad leader of the chain has a better environment, better service, and the food is served quickly, there is no need to wait, and it is still a good place to taste snacks.
