He Xiang meets you (Tianyaoqiao Road store) - business reviews

The main Xiangxi Tujia style of his Xiang meets you restaurant, the decoration style is very recognizable. Antique tables and chairs are neatly arranged, the walls are painted with festival totems hand-painted by folk artists, and the old wooden walls and green tile wooden pillars that can be seen everywhere in the restaurant are decorated with purple vines and pink peach blossoms. The overall atmosphere not only has the simplicity of Xiangxi village, but also does not lose the splendor of Wuling Taoyuan. The restaurant is located on the third floor of the Hani Food Court in Xujiahui, with its authentic taste and superior geographical location, it has a high popularity, and it is almost full during holidays.

There is no paper menu in the restaurant, and there is a window sill full of bamboo sticks on the right hand side of the door. The name of the dish is printed on the bamboo skewer, and the semi-finished style of the dish is displayed next to it. Diners choose their own bamboo skewers and put them in the skewer box on their table, and the waiter will order the food after receiving it. The restaurant has a wide variety of dishes. The special hanging pot mutton in winter is selected from the small-tailed Han sheep of the Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia, which is freshly slaughtered and airlifted to Shanghai every day, and the meat skin is full of Q bomb juice. The colorful fish head steamed with five kinds of chili peppers has a strong pepper aroma, including the most expensive Zhangshugang chili pepper in China (once as high as 560 yuan a kilogram), which is very precious. Zhangshugang chili peppers are only grown in the Zhangshu Township area of Hunan Province, and the price is high, because there is a chef in Zhangshu Town in the restaurant who grows the pepper himself, so it can be used in dishes. At present, in Shanghai, only when he meets you in Hunan can you taste the "nobility" in this chili pepper.

In addition to a few major dishes, the restaurant also has a variety of signature dishes, such as the best jumping frog soaked in spicy sauce, the sizzling garlic shrimp, the spicy bullfrog served with a "shovel", the pork knuckle in the pressure cooker, and the preserved eggs with chili peppers. There are also rice bran sausages, chili fried meat, dry pot chicken and duck offal, etc. No matter what kind of meat you want to eat, chicken, duck, cow, sheep and fish, you can find it when you meet him in Xiangxiang. Brown sugar three-color glutinous rice cakes, walnut buns, stinky tofu airlifted from Changsha to Shanghai, etc., all kinds of pastries and snacks are also abundantly available, and the variety is dazzling, which can meet the preferences of diners in an all-round way.

The people of Yueyang, Hunan Province eat snakes, and almost every Hunan restaurant will have a snake flavor town store. He Xiang met that the king snake used in your store was more than two and a half catties, with fat and tender meat, and it was killed on the spot. The 1:1:1 ratio of chili, turmeric, and snake is used to cook, which needs to retain the fresh aroma of snake meat while removing the fishy smell, which requires the chef to grasp the ingredients and heat temperature. After stir-frying on high heat, the snake meat is permeated with the spicy aroma of ginger and chili, and the snake skin is chewy, and it is best to add a pot of wine to relieve greasyness. At this time, the restaurant's special brews are ready to appear. There are four kinds of small wines, such as sweet osmanthus stuffed, pure fragrant fragrant rice wine, fruity mulberry wine and Wuling peach blossom drunk, all of which are 28 yuan a pot, and do not expect how high the quality is. There is a rose petal in the bowl of wine, and a glass of wine is fragrant and natural, which is quite the pride of the ancient heroes holding the sword to take the wine away from the rivers and lakes.

The restaurant has more than 20 Hunan chefs to ensure the authentic taste of the dishes. The service staff are all dressed in national costumes, enthusiastic like fire, as soon as they enter the door, they seem to be in the welcome ceremony of the Tujia girls in Hunan. The restaurant covers an area of about 700 square meters, and in addition to the lobby dining area, there are semi-private rooms and full private rooms. There are two door gods painted on the door of each private room, and no matter where you sit in the restaurant, you can see the ubiquitous peach blossoms, silver jewelry, murals and other Xiangxi style elements, like a paradise that makes people can't take their eyes off. One of the things that makes the restaurant lose points is that the hygiene of the dining environment is not perfect. The restaurant's exhaust system is poor, and the old grease stains on the floor can be felt as soon as you enter the door, and the area near the kitchen is heavier with oil fumes and fine dust, so diners can try to avoid it when choosing a location. The wooden piles in the lobby and the wooden walls of the private rooms are a little old and damp, which lives up to the antique decoration of the restaurant. The second branch of the restaurant opened on March 20, 2018 in Minhe Sunshine Plaza, which will be improved and upgraded compared with the old store. In addition, the restaurant recommends a membership system, and the service staff will promote membership when the meal is completed and the payment is made, but it is not mandatory, and you can choose according to your needs.
