Yulin is a treasure of Chengdu's catering, all kinds of skewers, hot pot, taverns gathered, the old wharf and Dalongyi are in Yulin after making a fortune and go to the whole country. Piaoxiang hot pot is much more low-key than them, does not advertise, does not open branches, and stands silently on the streets of Yulin for 20 years, becoming the hot pot that best represents the flavor of old Chengdu in the population of Yulin.
The fragrant bottom of the pot is all fried in the store, and the red pot has only one kind of butter, which is still semi-solidified when served, and you can see the butter gradually melting into a liquid form after the fire is turned on. There are many spice crumbs and chili peels floating in the soup base, and its taste is not as mellow as the fat of Chongqing Old Hot Pot King, nor is it as prominent as the hemp flavor of the mansion, and the spicy and fragrant are just right. The durability of the bottom of the pot is also excellent, not only does it not become lighter after adding the soup, but the aroma is more intense in the later stage of cooking. According to the shopkeeper, this is due to the thorough fermentation of the base when it is fried.
The hot pot steak is marinated beforehand, and the large slices of steak meat are still tender after a long time of cooking, with a faint black pepper flavor. Pig Heaven is a circle of meat on the palate of the pig's mouth, the shape is ladder-shaped, the color is pink, also called the pig tooth stem, pig ladder. Blanched pork paradise has a similar crispness to yellow throat, but it is firmer and more chewy than yellow throat. Firecracker bamboo shoots belong to the seafood vegetables, the color is dark green, and they are like a string of firecrackers, so they are named firecracker bamboo shoots, their taste is crisp and smooth, and there is a trace of sweetness in the seafood. The rest of the menu is not much different from other hot pot restaurants, but since most of the ingredients are fresh every day, there are occasional cases when the dishes are sold out at night.
Piaoxiang is located in Baiyu Lane, Yulin West Road, although the store has been renovated many times, but the address has not changed, diners can smell the fresh fragrance of hot pot in the air from a distance when they walk into Yulin West Road. Many regular customers say that Piao Xiang is much more spacious than before, but in fact, the number of tables in the store is still less than 20, and there are still a lot of customers waiting at the door every day during dinner time. The interior of the store is simply decorated, and the walls, tables and chairs can be seen to be a certain age, but fortunately, the merchants are carefully cared for, and the overall appearance is clean and bright. The waiter is all middle-aged women, who are proper and thoughtful, answer all questions, and take the initiative to remove the soup in a timely manner. Parking around the restaurant is inconvenient, so it is not recommended to drive there.
