Maolong Restaurant is the least pleasant of the Benbang restaurants on Jinxian Road, mainly due to the good hospitality of the old lady of the restaurant. It is a Michelin Bib gourmand recommended restaurant on the same street, but the popularity of Maolong is not as popular as Lanxin and Haijinzi, with five tables and twelve seats, and the meals are often not on the table.
The old lady has an almost stubborn requirement for sharing tables, regardless of whether the table is empty or not, individual customers with less than four people must share a table. For solo diners, Maulong's restaurant is even more unfriendly, even a little unwelcoming. The restaurant restricts the consumption of alcohol, and the hostess will not be polite to diners who have eaten for too long. The taste of the dishes is more homely, cooked roughly, and slightly sweet.
Cold dishes are standard old recipes, such as sauced duck, silver mustard greens, white cut belly tips, etc. The sauce of the sauce duck is not blindly red and strong, and the appearance is regular and moist, but the duck meat is firm and hard, and the flavor is on the sauce, not in the meat, and it is alienated and sloppy. The white cut belly tip is worth a try, thick and fat, crisp and tender; Silver mustard greens are sweet and sour and crunchy, suitable for appetizers.
Among the hot dishes, braised pork and pepper are Maolong's signature dishes, which are the most popular, and the special thing is that they are roasted with green peppers, but the taste of the peppers and the braised pork are not well integrated. The braised pork is made of random materials, lean dry wood, solid fatty meat, tough pork skin, extremely laborious, salty and greasy, if you are not obsessed with braised pork, this dish in Maolong Restaurant can be skipped. The level of pickled fresh meat is acceptable, salted meat, fresh meat, spring bamboo shoots are made into a pot, the material is in place, fresh and not oily, the soup is white and strong, and it is the best to taste in spring, but the price of nearly 100 yuan per serving also discourages many diners. The old lady chooses grass in the store every day, and dismisses the grass in the Lanxin restaurant next door, saying that she eats not grass but grass; Maolong's raw grass head is indeed delicate, leaving only tender leaves and thin stems, green and green, basically with the point of tenderness, will not go wrong, the aroma is also enough, only the wine is stronger, lack of a taste of soy sauce.
There is a wide selection of seafood and aquatic products on the menu, and the dry-braised pomfret is a signature dish that is worth trying. The pomfret is fried until the skin is light and crispy, fired with wine, slightly spicy, the fish meat is firm and sweet, the mouth is raw juice, the fish aroma, the sauce aroma, the aroma of the wine and the burnt aroma of the skin are presented in one, whether it is the taste or the taste, the interpretation is quite perfect. This dish has a sweet taste. The braised pomfret is also quite delicious, and the dry-fried hairtail and stir-fried eel are generally produced.
In addition to the proprietress in the restaurant, only a middle-aged waitress runs the hall, which is slightly wooden. In general, there is no waiting time for a seat or a short waiting time, and credit card payment is not accepted, but mobile payment is accepted. The price of Maolong is twice as high as that of Lanxin and Haijinzi, and the cost performance is lower. Another thing to note is that if a diner walks into Maolong with a waiting bar at the Lyceum restaurant next door, the proprietress will never give a good face.
