Different from the previous few old roadside shops, Five Kitchens takes the high-end boutique route. Opened in 2014, it has only been open for 4 years, and many locals have not even heard of the name Five Kitchens, but the restaurant's sincere production, excellent environment and attentive service made us put it in the front of the stage without hesitation.
When the red soup pot is served, the butter has all melted into the soup, and there are many chili peppers floating on the surface, which are Henan New Generation, Indian Devil Spicy and Sichuan Erjingtiao. The three kinds of peppers have different functions, which are used to enhance color, flavor and flavor in turn, and then mixed with Hanyuan peppercorns at high temperatures, and the fresh and spicy pepper is born. According to the store, the white soup pot is made of old chicken, dried scallops, pork bones and other ingredients boiled for ten hours, the soup is white, full of umami, whether it is directly drunk or scalded vegetables are very good.
The dishes of the five kitchens are also full of sincerity, not only the ingredients are fresh, but also the handling, knife work and presentation are also careful and meticulous. After cooking for 20-30 minutes, the bones can be separated from the meat, which is more convenient to eat. Each piece of buffalo slap hairy belly is quite solid, with a large area, thick leaves, rough surface, and the most crisp when scalded for 10 seconds, and the graininess is very obvious. The snacks in the store are also rich in variety, such as handmade braised pork buns, five-kitchen sauce meat buns and egg baked cakes, all of which are made to order by special chefs, and the taste is not inferior to the time-honored street brands in Chengdu.
The fifth kitchen is located in the Hongpailou business district, with an area of 1,300 square meters on the entire floor with only 40 tables, with spacious table spacing and linen seat cushions on wooden chairs, which is rare in a hot pot restaurant. The small table area is separated by a bamboo forest, and the Tai Chi Bagua placed in the entrance pond is slightly mysterious, and there are forest star pebbles along the road from the pond to the dining area, giving people a sense of winding paths; The large table area is matched with red dragonflies, butterflies and logs, symbolizing a prosperous reunion. The restaurant service is warm and meticulous, the waiter will make special recommendations when ordering, and will explain in detail the best blanching time for each dish when serving, and customers' questions can be patiently answered. There is a subway station and underground parking next to the restaurant, which is easily accessible by public transport or car.
