If you're a crayfish lover who frequents Bachelor Street, you've definitely heard of the "weird lobsters" on this street. Interestingly, next to the restaurant is a "really weird lobster", and the two restaurants have a-for-tat slogan that may be confusing to first-time diners. Let's talk about the relationship between the two here.

Now the boss of "really strange lobster" Wang Bing is the boss of the previous "strange lobster", in 2003 the "strange lobster" from Xuyi to Suzhou, only open in 2~9 months every year, the business is very prosperous, and the rest of the time back to Xuyi's hometown for holidays. In September 2007, when Wang Bing bought the store next door and planned to expand it, the landlord said that the five-year lease had expired and he wanted to make a restaurant. When Wang Bing went home, the landlord opened a "strange restaurant" on the original "weird lobster" address, focusing on dry pot, crayfish, and hot pot. Although Wang Bing registered the trademark of "Strange Lobster" in 2004, when he rented the landlord "Yangcheng Restaurant" in 2003, he did not change the legal person and name of the business license, so the business name of Strange Lobster Restaurant was not registered. This has led to a rare situation of two "weird" catering businesses on one street.

Although Wang Bing now uses "Really Strange Lobster" as the name of the restaurant next to the original store, diners who don't know why usually choose "Strange Lobster", and there is a significant gap between the business popularity of the two restaurants. In this context, the performance of the real strange lobster is becoming more and more unsatisfactory, and the performance of the strange lobster is better than that of the real strange lobster (the author expresses some regrets at the emotional level). In August 2018, the rental contract of the Strange Lobster expired, and the house was bought by the owner of the Strange Lobster, and the location of the store in 2019 is temporarily unknown.

Strange lobsters, like real strange lobsters, focus on Xuyi's signboard, so crayfish and condiments are purchased from Xuyi as much as possible. Crayfish are manually washed, and the shrimp line is not cut without cutting. The specification of 8 money ~ 1 tael is at a medium level in the industry.

Strange lobster is the restaurant's signature dish, with a taste similar to the usual thirteen spices, but not too spicy, and the aroma is very persistent. Whereas, thirteen spiced lobsters are a little spicier than the common thirteen spices. The egg yolk pot lobster has a unique pot flavor, but there is almost no egg yolk and lacks the egg yolk flavor it should have. The sale of shredded yellow eel is a bit scary for new diners, but the taste is mellow and worth a try.

The environment of the weird lobster belongs to the level of food stalls, and the waiters are a little arrogant, but they can respond to the needs of diners in a timely manner.
