Many food lovers in Hangzhou's western district often lament that there are too few delicacies in the western part of the city. In 2016, the appearance of Dragon Boxing made many food lovers in the west of the city overjoyed. Today's Dragon Fist has long been a guest of many food media, and the restaurant business is extremely hot.
Dragon Fist had a certain reputation in the local area, until the restaurant launched the crispy large intestine in the winter of 2016, and the attention skyrocketed. The reason for this is quite interesting, in winter, the owner lightly deep-fried the braised large intestine in order to make the diners eat hot dishes. Unexpectedly, a layer of puff pastry forms on the surface of the large intestine after frying, and the overall taste has increased a lot, and even has a taste similar to roast duck. Diners were raving about the dish, and word of mouth spread quickly. The Metropolis Express then reported on the restaurant at the end of the year, and Dragon Fist became an almost overnight success, and the restaurant's other outstanding dishes gradually became known to the public.
The owner's father is a Hangzhou chef with more than 30 years of experience, and the boss is very sensitive to food since he was a child. The boss and the proprietress are both natives of Hangzhou, young and innovative, but still have a deep sense of identity with Hangzhou cuisine. The inheritance and innovation of craftsmanship make Longquan more and more competitive.
The quality of Longquan's crayfish is not outstanding, and the selection is Hubei green shrimp, so the size is generally not large, and the head and tongs are relatively small, generally in 5~6 money. The crayfish that arrive at the store will be manually brushed, sorted, headed, and shrimp lined. Fortunately, the body proportion of green shrimp is much larger than that of red shrimp, and the basic dining experience is guaranteed to a certain extent. Due to the shrimp species, Longquan only sells crayfish in April ~ September.
In addition to the common thirteen spices, salt and pepper, and steaming, Dragon Fist also has two self-created dishes: five-kill crayfish and seven-mile fragrant crayfish. The original name of five-kill crayfish is five-flavor crayfish, which contains five flavors of "sweet, sour, spicy and fresh". The boss is a more casual young man, and he likes "Glory of Kings" so he renamed the dish as Five Kills Crayfish. Because of his love for Jay Chou, another self-created dish is named Qilixiang crayfish, which is also the source of the store's name "Dragon Boxing".
The five-kill crayfish has ingredients such as rice cakes, lotus root ribbon and peanuts, and seasonings such as garlic cubes, ginger cubes, chopped green onions, white sesame seeds, and dried chili peppers are beneficial to each other. The shrimp meat is full and tender, and the seasoning is also very attractive, and the spicy, sweet and sour flavor slowly spreads, which is very enjoyable. The Shichili Crayfish is infused with the long-acclaimed stinky tofu, and although the dish takes a little longer to prepare, the wait is worth it, and the rich and delicious soup is unforgettable.
Of course, crispy large intestine and stinky tofu are dishes worth trying. The large intestine is basically made of the head of the intestine, which is relatively thick, so it is easy for diners to eat a sense of layering. The marinated large intestine is placed to dry first, and then fried in a small pan when diners order. The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Diners who feel that it is too light can also eat it directly with the original marinade of the large intestine, which has a unique flavor. Stinky tofu is the work of the proprietress and its smelly, crispy, fragrant and salty characteristics are a topic of conversation among diners.
Dragon Fist is a typical fly house, it is not easy to go up and down the stairs, and the slippery ground also makes people feel more dangerous. If Dragon Fist upgrades the specifications of crayfish and the restaurant environment, I believe that there will be more excellent performance.
