One of the few barbecue restaurants in Suzhou that uses bullfrogs as a selling point attracts many diners with only one example of "Overlord Bullfrog", which has the same effect as a barbecue with friends.
The roast bullfrog that costs 25 yuan a piece seems to be a little expensive, but it is worth the money. The slaughtered bullfrog is cut in half with a knife, unfolded into skewers, brushed with the owner's secret seasoning, and then put into the oven and roasted with oil, salt and sesame seeds. Because the appearance of the product is very similar to the shape of a frog, many diners say that it is difficult to eat, but customers who are deeply familiar with the way of food must know the deliciousness: the fibrous frog meat is dense and silky, so the sauce can be evenly soaked into it; Coupled with the heavy aroma brought by the fierce and slow roasting, the frog meat is more refreshing and fragrant, and the taste is wonderful.
However, when it comes to enriching the table with other grilled items, there is no better option in the restaurant. The other two specialties on the menu, salt-and-pepper prawns and garlic eggplant, are very similar to bullfrogs. The salt-and-pepper prawns are actually river prawns, small but seasoned with heavy grilled ingredients, and the fresh taste of the shrimp meat is gone. The garlic eggplant is roasted with vermicelli, and the heavy salt and oil covers all the taste, leaving only a greasy and salty mouth.
Disappointing. Other common grilled products such as roast lamb, chicken wings, oysters, etc., are of average quality and are no fault.
The extremely simple environment of the restaurant can be summed up in a word: more than ten square meters of storefront, full of several tables and chairs, and there are posters on the wall explaining the therapeutic function of bullfrogs, which makes people laugh; The beer equipment, tableware, freezers and other equipment outside the door are sparse and scattered, and the appearance is even more dilapidated. The high popularity of the restaurant in such an environment is really confusing. But the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and for many diners, finding this unique bullfrog taste is an unavoidable journey in their food map.
