Founded in 1986, Huangcheng Lao Ma is the hotpot with the longest business hours in Chengdu, and has won the titles of "China's Top Ten Hot Pot Brands", "China's Sichuan Cuisine Best-selling Brand", "Chengdu Hot Pot Famous Restaurant" and so on. Since its establishment, Huangcheng Lao Ma has been positioned in high-end catering, and most of the customers who come here to dine are customers with strong spending power, and the restaurant is decorated with heroic style, which is the best choice for business banquets.
The bottom of the pot of Huangcheng Lao Ma is for one-time use, the red pot is based on rapeseed oil and butter, adding bean paste, Guizhou chicken heart chili, Maowen West Road pepper and Hongya rattan pepper, according to the traditional preparation method of "preparing ingredients for a prosperous fire, simmering and fragrant", stir-fried for 5 hours. However, the amount of butter at the bottom of the pot is not much, the mellow is not as good as the impression of Jincheng, and it is also gentler than most Chengdu hot pot under the same spicy choice, and some heavy diners will find it not enjoyable enough.
In addition to the basic garlic, chopped green onion and coriander, the store also serves peanut butter, seafood juice, peanut noodles, shredded ginger and other seasonings. The store has a flavor dish instruction manual in the seasoning buffet area, and the red pot, white pot, and a variety of hot dishes should be paired with a clear display of what kind of flavor dish should be matched, and the service is intimate and meticulous.
The quality of Huangcheng Mom's dishes is not inferior to Jincheng's impression. The restaurant has established its own raw material supply chain for many years, and the supply of dishes is stable, with fresh arrivals every day, and there is almost no out-of-stock or sell-out of dishes. One of the signature dishes is the beef, chicken and lamb trivial, which is tender and smooth and can be cooked in a pot for about 1 minute. Cut the mullet fillet into thin and large slices, and blanch it with chopsticks for 30 seconds, the tenderness is the best. After the rabbit loin, liver slices and gizzard flowers are scalded, they are dipped in a dried dish of chili noodles, which tastes fragrant and spicy. What is rare is that the shrimp slippery dish, which is generally of low level in Chengdu, can still be described as excellent by the production of the old mother of the imperial city.
Huangcheng Lao Ma currently has a total of 3 branches in Chengdu, among which the Jinsha store has the shortest business hours, and the dishes are all in a la carte format. In addition to a la carte, Qintai Road store and Yulin main store also have lunch, dinner and supper buffets, the price is between 100-160 yuan, the buffet dishes are not much different from a la carte, and the cost performance is higher. However, the Qintai Road store is located in the scenic area of the city, and there are often tour groups dining here, and the atmosphere is noisy, so it is recommended that friends go to the Yulin main store to experience.
The Yulin store occupies a four-storey building with a delicate and atmospheric appearance, like a museum. The interior from bottom to top is the hall, self-service hall, small bench nursery area, Keyuan performance hall, Minchuan landscape hall, ordinary private room of every family, Jinli VIP private room and dam lighting tea house, a number of areas are fully functional, elegantly decorated, drinks, dinners, banquets, and activities can be satisfied. The restaurant service staff are well-trained, each of them is warm and thoughtful, from the moment the customer enters the door, there are reception staff to guide the seating, ordering, serving, adding soup, and helping to scald the dishes are active and timely, and the service level is commendable.
In 2015, Huangcheng Ma's new brand Yi Xiaoguan opened in Taikoo Li. Different from the high-end positioning of the mother of the imperial city, Yi Xiaoguan has aimed at the young customer market since its establishment, not only decorated with the most popular fresh green plant style, but also the price of 90 yuan self-selected 7 meat and 7 vegetables is also highly respected by young people. Judging from the field visit, the taste of Yi Xiaoguan is not much different from that of Huangcheng Laoma, the difference is that the number of each dish is reduced, so the price is more affordable. In addition to the 90 yuan package, there is also a 145 yuan buffet in the store, and all dishes are available in unlimited quantities.
