Lao Chen's private dishes, like his good grandmother, are all family private restaurants hidden in the corridor. Lao Chen, who is both a proprietor and a chef, has been running a small shop with his wife for more than eight years. Although the shop is small, it has become popular because of its affordable price and authentic taste, and has become an Internet celebrity private restaurant.
Lao Chen is from Chengdu and makes a good Sichuan cuisine, for which the roast chicken and string of incense in the store have also been rated as "recommended food" by Nanjing Radio and Television Group, attracting many diners to come to taste. Roast chicken is a representative dish of Sichuan and Chongqing, after the chicken and potatoes are fried in the pot, add celery, green bamboo shoots, kelp, lotus root and other side dishes to cook for a little and then serve on the table, the oil in the pot is thick but not greasy, the chicken is soft and rotten, and the taste is spicy and salty. The saliva chicken as a cold dish is firm and shiny, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and you can also add side dishes to it. In addition, cold noodles, cold pot fish, and white meat with garlic are also dishes with a high turnover rate in the store. However, the aluminium pots and dishes used are relatively simple, and the plates are random and messy, which is not very hygienic, which is also the main reason why Lao Chen's private dishes are often criticized.
Lao Chen's private restaurant is located in the residential building on Matai Street, and the restaurant has a signboard light outside the entrance on the first floor. The interior of the store is shabby, with menus and various awards hanging on the walls, and only five or six sets of tables and stools, all of which are old and dilapidated. Due to the small number of tables, there will be no seats at the occasional time, and the side dishes of cold pot fish and roast chicken must be fresh, so it is necessary to make a reservation in advance to facilitate Lao Chen's preparation of ingredients.
