It is not difficult to eat an authentic Northeast meal in Hangzhou, thanks to the existence of Ma Ya. In 2006, the proprietress Sister Ma went south from Qiqihar alone, rented a shop without a kitchen in Zhubu, and set up a shed at the door to fry vegetables, which allowed Hangzhou people to taste Northeast cuisine for the first time. For more than ten years, Maya has become the base of almost all people in Northeast Hangzhou, with bold portions and proper tastes, whether it is a taste or a solution to homesickness, Maya is worth a try.
Pot-wrapped meat is Sister Ma's proudest home dish, the batter is thick and even, the edges and corners are round, although it is fried dry, it does not drip oil or cut the tongue; The heat and temperature control are very precise, and you can experience the crispiness of the sound effect when it is hot, the taste is light and non-firewood, and there is an obvious burnt and crispy aroma; The sweet and sour sauce is balanced with sweet and sour, and the amount is appropriate, which does not affect the neat taste, and does not rob the tenderloin aroma; Green onions, shredded carrots and coriander are generously served, and the colorful piled on top of the meat slices makes it even more refreshing; In addition to the long waiting time, this plate of pot-wrapped meat can't find any shortcomings, which is enough to surprise the people of the Northeast to have such an authentic hometown taste in Hangzhou.
As the only leafy vegetable that can survive in the Northeast, cabbage is naturally given a different mission, and there is even a saying that "no sauerkraut, no Northeast". If you want to have a "sauerkraut addiction" in Hangzhou, this store will not disappoint you. Maya's sauerkraut is flown in from the Northeast, the taste is sour but not choking, completely avoiding the common minefields of being too salty or too rotten, and the bottom is crisp and juicy, fresh and peaceful; The vermicelli is tough and chewy, which complements the texture of sauerkraut. Sauerkraut dumplings are Sister Ma's favorite, but the proportion of meat filling is too high, and the dumpling skin is thick and cottony, the aroma of sauerkraut is greatly reduced, and the taste is not as brilliant as sauerkraut powder.
There are many more signature dishes of Ma Ya, and the seasoning of home-cooked cold dishes is the same as that of Northeast Da Lapi, the difference is that the main body of home-cooked cold dishes is a dish, and Northeast Lapi is less and more lapi. The sauce bones can best satisfy the pleasure of eating meat, and the sauce is fragrant and flavorful, but the flesh is not crispy, and it still needs to be bitten. The oil beans in a pot in the Northeast are the same as the sauerkraut, which are all airlifted from the Northeast, with a thick texture, and are cooked soft by the oil of the pork ribs, and the fragrance is good for rice. The order rate of the leek box is also very high, two starting points, the leeks are full and full of flavor, slightly salty, the dough is as thin and soft as spring cakes, fried until golden, but the crispiness is not enough to stick to the teeth, which slightly affects the taste.
In addition, Maya also serves Beijing copper furnace hot pot and Northeast skewers, accompanied by large quantities of beer and liquor, and is open until 4:00 a.m., it is not only a Northeast restaurant, but also a city that never sleeps. It should be noted that Ma Ya not only has a high degree of taste restoration, but also is unambiguous in terms of quantity, so do not place an order with the à la carte specifications of Hangzhou cuisine. Fortunately, the service staff is enthusiastic and cheerful, and if there are too many dishes, they will give suggestions to avoid wasting food. Smoking is allowed in the restaurant, and most customers come for supper after dark, so the atmosphere is lively but noisy, yelling is common, and if you are looking for a clean dining environment, it is recommended to go to the restaurant during the meal time.
