If the proportion of Korean diners is used as the standard to measure whether Korean food is authentic, the Korean food ideals in Zhongtian Lakeside Plaza will directly come out on top. There is a Korean residential settlement around Zhongtian Lakeside Plaza, with a high density of Korean goods supermarkets, vegetable markets, and various Korean snacks, fast food, and barbecue. However, the Korean food here does not require much taste and ingredient sophistication, nor is it very special, and it is more of a home-cooked and affordable option.
Zhengyipin is one of the oldest stores with the strongest reputation, the original store was located on the left bank commercial street, and later moved to the end of the corridor on the second floor of Zhongtian Lakeside Plaza, the store area is much smaller, and the previous iconic pot lid barbecue has also been canceled. At present, the restaurant defaults to its own barbecue, and the waiter will not indicate the roasting time of various meats when serving the meat, nor will they remind them when it is time to turn the meat, and even if the grill is burnt and requires a barbecue plate, they are not happy to do so, so it is best for diners to take the initiative to ask. Black pork belly is the signature of Zhengyipin all along, there are more fatty parts, and you need to manually cut them into small pieces when roasting, and the flavor is fresh and strong after roasting, but it is not tender enough and more laborious. The marinated beef ribs have a sweet taste, but the sauce is rich and rich, and the sweetness is not frivolous. The overall taste is acceptable, and it is best eaten with salt, but it is still not smooth enough.
It is not only the grilled meat that is popular in the restaurant, but also the sizzling fish roe is often recommended. This dish is cooked at high temperatures with fish roe, and the fine grain of the fish roe meets the gelatinous and smooth texture of the fish white, and the taste is mysterious and unstoppable. For example, the seafood cake, which was originally thick and not greasy, is now too wet and soft, the surface is black, and the seafood is difficult to find. The proportion of cheese and corn is not properly controlled, and the situation of being too sweet or too dry occurs in turn; The bibimbap pot is not hot, which causes the rice to be unable to produce a scorched rice, and it also loses the soul of the rice.
Not only is it a genuine product, but the Korean food such as Mapujia, Benjia, and Sun around Zhongtian Lakeside Square is relatively sloppy. The significance of these stores is to let the surrounding Koreans or Yanbian people have a place to share their nostalgia, with their own natural traffic, and of course, there will be no more polishing of meat or service quality. When you come here, you can eat any Korean food, and the taste will not be bad, but there are no more surprises. Here only the oldest products are listed in detail, and the rest will no longer occupy space.
