La Fu originated in Shanghai, and the two founders were the host and director of Shanghai Satellite TV respectively, so there are many celebrity photos displayed on the walls of the store.
Compared with the previous hot pot restaurants, the selection of the bottom of the pot in Spicy House is much richer. There are not only the original butter nine-square grid, but also the mandarin duck pot that can be paired with mushroom soup, bone broth, mom's hoof flower soup, tomato soup, and the bullfrog pot made from the bottom of the clear oil pot. The bottom of the butter pot is cute, the butter block in the shape of a cartoon dragon weighs 4 catties, the oil is fragrant after melting, and the red oil is wrapped on the surface of the food when the dish is picked, which is particularly attractive.
Lao Ma Hoof Flower Soup also comes from Chengdu, mainly stewed with pig's trotters and kidney beans, after a long time of stewing pig's trotters powder is tender and glutinous, kidney beans are delicate and soft, has been deeply loved by Chengdu diners. There is a whole pig's trotter in the soup base of the old mother's hoof flower in the spicy house, which can be boiled with the hot pot for a while after being served, the taste is soft and glutinous, and the hoof flower soup is delicious, whether it is directly drinking soup or boiling vegetables, it is quite good.
The bullfrog pot uses a clear oil bottom, which is not as thick as butter, and the bottom of the pot is served separately from the bullfrog, and diners need to put the bullfrog into the pot by themselves. The bullfrog is not small, after boiling at high temperature, the meat is delicious and tender, but it is best to clip it out as soon as possible after blanching, otherwise the bullfrog meat will fall like a garlic clove, and it will be more difficult to find it again. If diners are interested, they can also prepare a bowl of bullfrog special flavor dish to enhance the flavor and flavor, in addition to putting a small amount of sesame oil, the bullfrog flavor dish also needs a spoonful of celery, green onion, coriander, mustard grains, and then add a small amount of sesame seeds and tempeh, and finally put in cooked soybeans, the amount can be according to personal preference, many beautiful frog fish head hot pot restaurants in Sichuan and Chongqing are prepared according to this method.
Covering the hairy tripe is the signature dish of the spicy house, the buffalo hairy tripe is thick, the surface is rough, and it is still a whole piece when it is served, and the waiter will cut it on the spot according to the customer's requirements, and the fresh hairy tripe is full of toughness and graininess. Frozen tofu is also worth tasting, after the water tofu is frozen at low temperature, its internal structure has changed, the texture is dry and hard and honeycomb-shaped, the color turns gray, and there are many pores on the surface of the tofu. The quality of the cooked frozen tofu has increased a lot compared to before the pot, and the whole tofu has become swollen and soft, which is caused by fully absorbing the soup at the bottom of the pot during boiling.
The nine-foot goose intestines of La Fu are also quite popular, but their quality is not as good as Xiaolongkan, some of the goose intestines are broken and short, and it is difficult to use chopsticks to hold the scalding shabu, and you can use a colander when operating. The signature dish is the most talked-about dish in Spicy Mansion, because before eating, customers need to sign a "hero post", indicating that they have known the physical discomfort that may be caused, if they are successfully eaten, the store will post the hero post in the store for other customers to challenge, and each store in La Fu has a wall full of hero posts left by customers. As far as the dish itself is concerned, the perverted pit daddy beef balls are actually relatively mediocre, and the meatballs made of chili foam have heavy starch content and poor elasticity, which can only be said to be a gimmick bigger than it actually is.
There are a total of 5 branches in Suzhou, and the dining area is mainly red and gold, with Chinese elements such as door gods and dragons painted on the walls, and the door of the private room resembles the gate of the ancient government, which is more appropriate to the name of the store. The service staff in the store are well-trained, ordering, serving, and responding in a timely manner, and will also take the initiative to adjust the heat or help with the dishes. There is not much difference in the quality and service of dishes between stores, and diners can choose nearby.
