If you ask where to eat authentic Chengdu hot pot, I believe that 80% of the locals will recommend Bashu Mansion Gate. Opened in 2000, the Bashu Mansion has gained many favorites for more than ten years with its stable taste and affordable price, and its popularity has not diminished so far, and there is a long queue at the door every day during dining time. Different from the nature of online celebrity stores, there are many surrounding residents and repeat customers in the queue here.
The red pot at the door of the Bashu mansion has butter pot and double pepper clear oil pot, both of which are authentic Sichuan flavors, and the taste is spicy rather than the spicy of Chongqing hot pot. The red pot is fragrant and fragrant, and after boiling, the soup noodles are full of peppercorns, which looks violent. However, one of the disadvantages of too many peppercorns is that when dishes such as duck intestines, yellow throat and county flowers change in shape, a large amount of peppercorns are hidden in them, and you need to pay more attention when eating. In terms of flavoring plates, the store only offers five kinds of condiments: sesame oil, garlic paste, chopped green onion, coriander and oyster sauce. Simple seasoning to retain the original aroma of the pot base to the greatest extent is also the practice of most hot pot restaurants in Chengdu.
The dishes of the Bashu Mansion are quite rich, and there are four kinds of beef to choose from: tender beef, spicy beef, pepper beef and folded ear root beef. The beef is fresh every day, unfrozen, and the aroma and taste of the meat are retained at a good level. Although many popular science people have long proposed that Houttuynia cordata contains a metabolite of aristolochic acid - aristolochlactam, long-term consumption may have an impact on the liver and kidneys, but it still can't stop the people in the southwest region from loving it, and basically every hot pot restaurant has its figure.
Fat intestines, duck intestines, fresh hairy tripe, yellow throat, tribute vegetables and freshly fried crispy pork, not to mention, are all on the list of must-orders. If you're in the mood for a specialty, rabbit kidney, chicken kidney, and loach are good choices, which are rarely found in hot pot restaurants outside of Chengdu. Shrimp slippery, fish-flavored balls, tribute balls and meatballs are not recommended to order, the quality of the dishes is poor, the shrimp slippery can obviously eat the taste of long-frozen food, the meatballs have too much starch ingredients, and the taste is poor.
There are a total of 6 directly-operated branches in Chengdu, and the business control is in place, and there is almost no difference in taste between the branches. The storefronts are all in a uniform Bashu style, with eight immortal tables and long wooden benches neatly arranged, and red lanterns hanging on the top. The Qingjiang East Road store was put into use because the store rented the store next door not long ago and had not yet been renovated, one of the dining areas will look a little dilapidated, and the ventilation of the store will not be smooth enough, and there will be a large smell on the body after eating. The service staff is quick with their hands and feet, and they order and serve the food relatively quickly, but the store has a huge flow of customers all year round, and the waiters cannot take care of each table, and customers can only call themselves when they need it. The door of the Bashu mansion does not provide reservations, nor can it be numbered online, and can only queue up on the spot during peak periods, and all the people must arrive before they can serve the meal.
