Mi Tang opened on the side of Wending Road, with only eight tables in the store, and a beautiful Northeast proprietress in charge. As with other restaurants in northeastern Shanghai, the menu has been localized, but Mitang's approach is not to increase the sweetness, but to reduce the oil and salt, and the taste is lighter.
Surprisingly, you can eat some of the less popular local dishes of the Northeast in Mitang. Northeast miso is one of the clearest memories on every Northeast people's table, it is made of soybeans, salt and water after two fermentations, fragrant with a slight odor, can be directly dipped in the dish, can also be used in the dish. The taste of miso is harmonious and different, a thousand people can make a thousand kinds of Northeast miso, so Mitang's miso can not be said to be the most delicious, but it is airlifted from the Northeast, the taste is still authentic, and the fried eggs with sauce have also become one of the most popular dishes in Mitang. Mitang also boils the miso with the eggs to make a softer and more delicious egg sauce that can be dipped directly, but since the egg sauce cannot be left for a long time, the dish is cooked to order, so it may take a while.
Sweet potatoes are also highly praised, and the success of this entry-level kung fu dish is based on hand speed and fire control. Mi Tang can make the sweet potato syrup evenly wrapped, the color is bright, and the silk is continuous, and diners who are not afraid of heat can try it, if they are lucky, they will encounter the previous pot to do more or are about to close, the proprietress will also send it as an after-dinner dessert. Traditional dishes such as pork slices, chicken stewed mushrooms, and ground three fresh dishes are restrained in terms of oil content, and reduce thickening, which is relatively refreshing in sight and taste. In addition, the rice in the store is made of Northeast Xiangshui rice and cooked in a Cuckoo rice cooker, the rice grains are plump and elastic, sweet and fragrant, and the price of 5 yuan per bowl is high, but it is really worth the money.
However, the same popular dish of pot-wrapped pork is actually mediocre, the batter and meat slices are very thin, but they are still not fried thoroughly, and the cross-section is all wet batter; The pouring is even more unsuccessful, and the sweetness and sourness are not prominent. The sauerkraut in the pickled vegetable noodles is flown in from the Northeast and is salty and sour, but the vermicelli is too soft, there are many broken pieces, and there is a large amount of minced garlic buried in the crevices, which may be troublesome for diners who do not like to eat garlic. There are also non-Northeast dishes such as fish-flavored shredded pork, hot and spicy frogs, beef and potato sundaes, sweet and sour short ribs, etc., and the production level is worrying; Western dishes such as European country grilled vegetable platter, barbecue platter, and grilled beef ribs are also surprising on the menu, which is really puzzling.
Mitang, which only opened at the end of 2017, has a large number of repeat customers in a short period of time, which is not unrelated to the hospitality of the hostess. The proprietress will apologize personally if the food is served slowly, and she can try her best to communicate if she is not satisfied with the dish to avoid unhappiness. If you don't order the main food, and there are dishes on the table, the proprietress will give you a small bowl of rice for free, which is convenient to accompany the meal. At present, Mitang has to queue for a long time at the meal, but fortunately it will not close at noon, and it is recommended to go to the meal at a staggered peak.
