Douke Canteen - Business Reviews

There is a lack of small and beautiful Western restaurants in Suzhou, so shops like Noodle Maker and Green Sauce became Internet celebrity stores as soon as they opened. The bean shell canteen is a bit unusual, with a store area of less than 20 square meters, crowded in the bachelor's street of hot pot, skewers, and crayfish, which looks out of place. When I entered the store, I found that several chefs were wearing uniforms, the dishes were a combination of Chinese and Western, and the prices were more affordable, and it was soon promoted to a new Internet celebrity store, and the business was full.

There are only four simple tables in the restaurant, but several chefs are quite talented, including the owner Hong Ge, who has been a chef in several five-star hotels in Beijing for more than ten years, and several others have also worked as chefs in Beijing Hotels, Hilton Hotels and Marriott Hotels. Judging from the current popularity, the restaurant's signature steak, cheese baked whelk, black truffle green dragon, and Thai-style shrimp balls are all recognized by young people, and there are many repeat customers.

The main western food in the store, the menu is updated from time to time, generally a dozen or so western food, a few staple dishes, a small amount of Chinese food, stewed soup, the price from frugal to abundant, whether you have a small number of people, want to eat a simple meal or a large meal, you will not feel embarrassed to order food in the store. However, in order to keep the air in the store clear, the kitchen mainly makes steamed, grilled, lightly fried and lightly fried small fresh dishes. Some diners may worry that sitting in such a small restaurant and ordering an Angus steak for nearly 200 yuan will seem a little out of place. In fact, all the products in the store are very professionally presented, and the degree of delicacy is not inferior to that of high-end restaurants; The boss is even more personally served, treating regular customers as VIPs, and if you don't mind the old environment of Bachelor Street, the dining experience is acceptable.

There are few ready-made ingredients for the bean husks, and even simple sauces are ordered to achieve the desired taste. However, due to the limited kitchen conditions and the gradual rise in popularity, the chef market is too busy, and the quality of some dishes has declined, such as clams, abalone, and grilled pumpkin, which are often not delicious. This is far from the original intention of Brother Hong's store, if the restaurant does not make corresponding business adjustments in time, there may be the embarrassment of "relying only on signature dishes to support a store". As it stands, guests are advised to prioritize signature dishes.


Bean Shell Canteen - Recommended dishes

Angus baked beef ribs
Angus beef ribs are selected, each piece is fat and lean, steamed and then fried, and finally drizzled with wine and baked in the oven. This process greatly locks in the moisture of the beef, it is very tender, thick cut and plated, and a large piece is dipped in black pepper and eats very satisfying.
Cheese baked snails
The conch is covered with golden roasted cheese, and the whole one is served on the table, and the rather foreign shape immediately makes this small shop shine. The production is not sloppy at all, cut the conch meat into pieces, simmer in chicken broth until flavorful, then add the shrimp and mushrooms fried with conpoy powder, stuff them into the conch shell, and bake them with cheese. The ingredients themselves are full of umami, and the cheese covers the snail mouth to retain the umami, one small spoonful at a time, chew it slowly, and it is full of flavor.
Beef sauce with cold noodles
This staple dish is only 22 yuan, and the wide noodles are stacked with beef sauce, sesame oil green beans and bitter chrysanthemum, which is fresh and has a light taste, especially for one person to solve daily meals.
