Small Affordable - Merchant Reviews

The name of the store is "Little Affordable", but it is actually a bit expensive. This small shop is located on Weihai Road, and there are three local restaurants on one street: Good Brothers, Huagong Restaurant and Xiaobei. Xiaobian is the most famous and popular among them, the door is not big, and a few tables are often full.

Xiaobei is taken care of by a pair of Shanghai father and son, both of whom are typical Shanghai uncles, who greet guests in person and are warm and polite. The restaurant has been open for 30 years, and the current chef has been working for Xiaohui for nearly 10 years. Most of the menu is classic local dishes, the taste is more mature, and the products are vivid and traditional. The cold dish of white chopped chicken and tonkatsu are the restaurant's signatures, both of which may seem commonplace, but they are actually Shanghainese specialties. The interpretation of the white chopped chicken is decent, and the chicken is firm and tender; The fried pork chop is quite a bright spot, the method is not the breadcrumbs that Shanghainese people are used to frying, but the batter is soaked and fried in the oil pan, the color is darker than the general fried pork cutlet, the taste is more round, salty, sweet and thick, with spicy soy sauce, sweet and sour with spicy, effectively neutralizing the greasy.

Many dishes in the store have a variety of methods, such as small river shrimp, there are soy sauce shrimp, drunk shrimp, white roast, fried oil and other methods, and are not marked on the menu, when ordering the boss mouth with "red", "white" and so on, unfamiliar diners can ask on the spot, or directly let the boss recommend on behalf of the owner. The soy sauce shrimp soup is full, the wine and soy sauce are very fragrant, the green onion is fragrant, the river shrimp is not big, but the freshness is good, the small one can be swallowed with the skin, salty, sweet and fresh. Although the choking shrimp is not a live shrimp choking, the freshness of the small river shrimp is acceptable, the taste is surprising, the plum juice is used as the base, the coriander enhances the flavor, the taste is sweet and sour, but the wine taste is relatively shallow.

The traditional eel silk of this gang, there are two methods of white braised and braised eel can be selected, the braised eel silk is traditional in taste, and the white fried eel silk is more distinctive, the method of white braised is added to coriander and white pepper, the appearance is refreshing, the eel silk is cleaned up neatly, elastic and tender with chewy, the pepper flavor is enough, the coriander is lined with freshness, and the taste is the classic taste of the local gang that is sweet, and the amount is good for rice. Braised hairtail and braised yellow croaker are all small and affordable specialties, self-adjusted sauce, oily and bright, the sauce is flavorful, the entrance is sweet and moist, and the aftertaste is fresh and fragrant. Smoked fish, wine herb head, fried pork liver in sauce, braised pomfret, etc., the taste is orthodox and old-fashioned, and it is impartial. Stir-fried rice cake with mustard greens is a masterpiece among the staple foods, the rice cakes are white and glutinous, the mustard greens are delicate, the shredded meat is fragrant and tender, and the entrance is warm and wafting with the fragrance of mustard greens. The rice cake will be cooled and hardened, and the store will also remind you to eat it hot.

The door of the restaurant is not big, the dining is generally on the first floor, there are six or seven tables, the attendance rate of the meal is not low, it has been turning the table, and occasionally you need to wait for a table. There is a large table room on the second floor, which needs to be booked in advance, and the stairs up the stairs are very narrow, and it is inconvenient to go up and down. Xiaobei is a typical family-run restaurant, the owner's two uncles and family are friendly and enthusiastic, polite and capable, accustomed to recommending dishes to diners, and quite confident in their own products, if you are not sure about the dishes, it will be a good choice to accept the boss's proposal.
