As the most cost-effective Fu 1039 in the Fu series, it still makes exquisite Shanghai cuisine. The menu is roughly the same as Fu 1088, and the price is more affordable; Single-family bungalows with gardens are comparatively more minimalist in color and décor; The hall is set up with scattered seats, but the distance is far away, and the sense of emptiness is full, and there is no sense of crampedness; There is also a live piano performance during the dinner in the evening, with both mood and style, as the opening of the Discovery Fu series, Fu 1039 is definitely worth looking forward to.
The technique of making cold and hot dishes of smoked fish has become very common, but the first to make hot smoked fish appear in the hall of elegance is thanks to the Fu series of restaurants. Select the best belly position of the herring, and the thickness of each piece is uniform to ensure that the same crispy shell is fried at the same temperature, and the fish juice is retained as much as possible. Chilled drunken chicken is originally a cold dish, so it is simply operated with crushed ice to solidify the original liquid seasoning; The chicken is all deboned again, tender and smooth after being chilled, there is still oil between the chicken skin and the chicken, it is very refreshing under the infiltration of the rice wine soup smoothie, the ginger shredded rice vinegar seasoning is the highlight, the taste is clear and full of flavor, and the color glaze hexagonal porcelain plate is more artistic and beautiful.
Braised pork is the absolute core of this dish, and the Fu series has been slightly better in the selection of materials, with three layers of pork belly fat and lean and symmetrical, without any meat and diaphragm; There is not much juice but it has penetrated into every inch of the texture of the pork, and the taste is elastic but not greasy, sweet but not sluggish; The bottom is served with eggs and coconut white, which is the finishing touch after rolling in the soup and meat oil. The cup-shaped container has hot water to keep the pork hot to maintain the taste of the braised pork. The fried river prawns with a sweet aroma and a strong pot atmosphere, the tender fried crab meat with asparagus, and the fried peas with a refreshing exterior and mellow inside are all classic signatures that can be ordered with your eyes closed.
The menu of Fu 1039 still has obvious improved Shanghainese characteristics, such as ginger slices and Vietnamese beef cubes. Usually many stores consider the cost, this dish will choose Angus beef, although the beef flavor is more unrestrained, but the taste will be much inferior to Wagyu beef, which prompts many bad stores to add a lot of tender meat powder to the beef, resulting in the overall hydration of the beef, no taste. Fu 1039 clearly did not disappoint, it handled the texture of the beef with ease, and the beef was tender and fibrous; The grilled steak has a crispy texture and locks in the juices inside. Pan-fried foie gras focuses on layering, with slices of bread baked until crispy at the bottom, layered with vegetable leaves, foie gras and three grapes, and the richness of the foie gras and the crispness of the grapes burst out and blend together, which can be called a classic. Walnut shrimp balls are more like a snack, large shrimp are thickly fried, lightly seasoned with mustard, and wrapped in the nutty aroma of walnuts, which is a very creative and palatable pairing.
However, Fu 1039 still does not have the stable performance of the other two brothers in terms of dish quality control, and there are occasional mistakes in raw materials, which affect the performance of finished products. And the corkage fee problem has been criticized by many diners, according to the different drinks, Fu 1039 has to charge 200-300 yuan/branch; If you don't order the wine in the store, but bring your own tea, or ask for a glass of boiled water, you will be charged an additional 58 yuan. The third floor is a private box, with a low consumption of 300 yuan. Fortunately, Fu 1039's service level is still not left behind, and parking spaces and valet parking are provided, so diners still enjoy a comfortable dining experience in most cases.
