Also with a Michelin halo, King Kong wonton is also noodle, founded by former media person Lu Xiaoxun. After more than 10 years of experience in the F&B industry, he also runs the well-known Mariamba Cafe and Mojito Heaven Bar (closed) in Shanghai. Opened in 2014, Vajra wonton is Lu Xiaoxun's third catering project. In 2017, the brand's Mengzilu branch was selected as a Bib Gourmand restaurant by the Michelin Guide, and the fifth branch was opened in Osaka, Japan, with a certain scale and strength.
The new style of decoration is the biggest feature of the store. The decoration of bamboo sieves and wooden cabinets, combined with the decoration with log elements, creates a simple and new farmhouse feeling. In contrast, the mediocre quality of the food in the store does not seem to match its reputation. For example, although the wontons are full of size and filling, there is no amazing feeling when you bite into it, the thick three fresh fillings only have a slight accentuation of the smell of shiitake mushrooms, and the soup base seasoned with egg skin, dried shrimp and minced green onions is also a little bland. The same problem also appears in the old soybean milk in Shanghai, the thick slurry has no lack of smooth graininess, but the soybean aroma is faint, and the mellow taste of soy milk is lost. After repeated screening, the raw materials for noodle making are used, such as Shandong winter wheat flour, which is a kind of noodles with better toughness, and duck eggs are added in the noodle making process to improve the color and elasticity of the noodles, which makes the finished noodles bright in color and taste, but the light soup in the noodle soup is really unable to bring out the excellence of the noodles, which is regrettable.
Based on the excellent decoration and comfortable environment of the store, Kongo wonton attracts many diners, and the geographical advantage of being close to the creative park also attracts many nearby office workers to eat in the morning and evening. It's worth noting that the store doesn't use the Michelin aura to make a big deal of packaging, so if you're curious about this honor, you might want to stop by the store and try it. The consumer price in the store is slightly higher, taking Sanxian wonton as an example, the price of a bowl is 30 yuan, and one or two sides can be added for free; You need to order and consume when you enter the door.
