If you want to eat the original farmhouse-grown vegetables, Koyododo is a good choice. After Wang Youhong resigned from Huawei's senior management, he and his younger brother Wang Youyong opened this private restaurant, which has been in business for nearly ten years and is more famous in the Maojiabu area.
"Reading" refers to Wang Youhong, who is studying, and "Farming" refers to Wang Youyong, who has become an authentic farmer, and "Farming and Reading Hall" not only summarizes the story of their brothers, but also reflects the biggest feature of the restaurant, in addition to wild vegetables and game, the ingredients in the hall are taken from their own farm.
The farm of the Cultivation and Reading Hall is located on the high mountain near the Hanging Temple of Daciyan, which is known as the reputation of "Little Jiuhua in Western Zhejiang", with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the chickens, ducks and pigs are raised, and the meat quality and taste are excellent; The vegetables planted are fertilized with chicken manure, and the soil gets a virtuous cycle, and the vegetables are sweeter and healthier than the greenhouse vegetables in the farmers' market and the vegetables that are fertilized. My younger brother Wang Youyong drove from Jiande early every morning to deliver food, and the freshness of the ingredients was guaranteed. The eggs in stock are also carefully preserved, and the mucous membrane outside the eggshell is retained after being picked up to reduce the entry of bacteria and ensure freshness.
Meat is available in a stable supply throughout the year, while vegetables are seasonally adjusted, and the dishes are roughly divided into homegrown pork, game, wild vegetables, homegrown poultry and homemade dishes, with a total of nearly 40 dishes. The cooking style of the kitchen is more homely, mostly stir-fried, boiled, and steamed dishes; A small amount of soup, such as duck soup and stewed chicken, needs to be boiled for several hours, and what you want to eat must be booked in advance, and it is impossible to order food on the spot. The more important point is that Koyododo is very confident in its own ingredients, and since its opening, it has insisted on not using monosodium glutamate and chicken essence to season, and the simple fried mountain flour balls and fried lettuce with green vegetables are enough to taste the advantages of their own ingredients, which are quite fresh and sweet, of course, many diners also laugh at the boss and say that the boss is too tendonous. The meat of free-range poultry and livestock is firm, and the meat flavor of meat vegetables such as lotus seed chicken soup and white-cut pork is quite strong, and it is not to be missed. Due to the limited production and high cost of ingredients, the price is more expensive.
To make a good table, having good ingredients is only half the success, as the so-called "comprador is the fourth, the chef's is sixth", the chef's skill is extremely important. Judging from the simple and extremely basic skills of dishes such as vegetarian stir-fried vegetables, green vegetable tofu soup, steamed cakes, etc., the chef's performance is mediocre, which is no different from the cheap Hangzhou Bang restaurant. Most of the customers who come back for more are based on the quality of the ingredients and don't mind the chef's performance. Some guests even buy the restaurant's Jiande mountain spring water to brew Longjing tea, in order to taste the subtle difference between the mountain spring and ordinary drinking water.
There are only two private rooms and a few open-air tables, so it is recommended to make a reservation in advance as the number of seats is especially tight on weekends. The restaurant is close to Orient Securities, but the door is relatively hidden, so it is recommended to call in advance to let the waiter greet you.
