Tiger Boy Barbecue is an open-air Xinjiang-style barbecue restaurant hidden deep in the street market, with a simple environment. As soon as several tables and chairs are placed and projections are placed on the wall, it has become a place for three or five friends to drink and talk freely. The stall owners are authentic Xinjiang people who brought authentic Xinjiang barbecue to Suzhou. The restaurant's red willow lamb skewers, Mulei mutton and watermelon barbecue are all famous products in Xinjiang, and the ingredients and seasonings are regularly ordered from Xinjiang.
Red willow is a common plant in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places in China, growing in sandy and clay areas, the branch color is dark red, hard and straight and heat-resistant, it is a famous material for skewers in southern Xinjiang. In the Tiger Boy, you can see lamb skewers made of stout red willow skewers nearly half a meter long, stacked in the freezer next to the stove and ready to be grilled. Large, plump pieces of lamb with skin are wrapped around the branches, and when they are roasted until they smoke a roaring fire. When the color of the meat skewers gradually brightens and browns, sprinkle with salt and serve. The crispy and fatty mutton is wrapped in the woody aroma of willow red branch liquid, and the taste is rich and long, and the more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes.
Mulei mutton is a special product of Mulei County, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang, and is also a product protected by the national agricultural product geographical indication, which is famous for its sweet and warm taste, fresh and tender. Most of the grilled dishes in the restaurant, such as Gobi lamb chops, grilled loin and roasted whole lamb, are made of Mulei mutton, and each dish can be eaten with the freshness and toughness of the meat. Since it has no smell, even customers who are sensitive to mutton can accept it happily. Watermelon barbecue is a dark dish in the eyes of many customers. It juices the whole watermelon, then puts the lamb, chicken and pigeon meat into the peel, soaks it in the juice, and then puts it in the hanging oven and slowly roasts. The combination of juice and meat is not as strange as imagined, scooping a bite of soup and meat slowly, the freshness of all flavors is amazing, sweeping away the strange eyes of diners. It should be noted that the production of Tiger Boy has not been improved in line with the taste of Suzhou, and the salty is the saltier, and the fatter it is. Customers who need light seasoning can communicate with the store in advance.
There are not many roasted products for tiger boys, and the total number is only more than 20. Therefore, it is often put on the table with grilled products, as well as a variety of Xinjiang dishes. Braised veal steak, mutton stewed cakes, Xinjiang large plate chicken and other types of ingredients are abundant, the taste is solid, and you can eat the authentic Western style. At the same time, there are also a lot of Xinjiang special liquor supply here, such as Yili Xiaolaojiao, Fatal Dawusu, Xinjiang Xiaobai Apricot and Sea Buckthorn Juice, etc., which have unique tastes, revitalize the taste and relieve greasyness, and are very suitable for eating and drinking together.
Although the barbecue does not seek the tranquility and elegance of the environment, the rugged appearance of the tiger cub is really hard to ignore: the food processing room on the side is dirty, and the walls are mottled with smoke and oil stains; The garbage such as wine bottles and discarded sticks that can be seen everywhere cannot be cleaned up in time, and the sanitary condition is very poor. In addition, there are many restaurants near the restaurant, and pedestrians are also a problem for customers. It is true that no matter how bad the restaurant environment is, the current food cannot stop diners who are greedy for delicious food. The restaurant is located in 217 Food Street at the intersection of Sanxiang Road and Laodong Road in Gusu District, and it is not easy to park by car.
