Sichuan and Hunan cuisine are both characterized by spicy, but there is still a big difference between the two in nature, Sichuan cuisine is fresh and fragrant, spicy, while Hunan cuisine is more salty, fragrant, sour and spicy. As the territory of Sichuan cuisine, there are not many Hunan restaurants in Chengdu. It is not easy to eat authentic Hunan cuisine in Chengdu, and almost every Hunan restaurant has Sichuan improvements. Yunmengting Ancient Hunan cuisine is no exception, but looking at Chengdu, its taste is considered Zhouzheng.
The launch of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine dishes is a common phenomenon in Chengdu Hunan restaurants, and Yunmengting is no exception. Most of the ingredients used in the restaurant come from the Hunan origin, and the seasonings such as chopped pepper and sauce pepper are also produced by the farmer, and the packaging of the dishes is exquisite and beautiful, which has the characteristics of "shaped like Huaiyang flavor in Hunan", which can be glimpsed in the signature dish Yunmeng ancient steamed fish head.
Yunmeng's ancient method of steamed fish head is a must-order dish when you arrive at the restaurant, the appearance of the dish is extremely eye-catching, the container containing the fish head is filled with dry ice, and the "mist" is swirling, and the fish head gradually emerges as the white mist dissipates. Yunmengting chooses the bighead carp that is generally equipped with the head of the pepper fish, commonly known as the fathead fish - its essence lies in the head, and the meat of the fish head is tender and tender. Chili pepper is the main ingredient in Hunan cuisine, and the fish head is covered with chopped pepper and sauce pepper, both of which are fermented through the old altar, which is full of sour and spicy. The restaurant's exclusive pork lard and steamed fish soy sauce also make the fish head more flavorful and conducive to rice. The soup is filled with handmade fish balls, and after the fish head is eaten, you can also add handmade noodles to eat with the soup and chopped peppers.
The dishes of the restaurant are divided into four types: cold dishes, steamed dishes, Hunan specialties, and stewed soups. Lei Gong Duck is one of the main recommendations of the restaurant, which is characterized by its dryness and aroma, Gu Duck has been slowly stir-fried for at least an hour, the meat is firmer and chewy, and the dish is also infused with Lake Wine from Hengyang, Hunan Province, which is full of aroma. Mao's braised pork, which is very famous in Hunan cuisine, is also a popular choice, and the braised pork can be served in two small pieces according to the location, served in a white porcelain bowl, and served with egg yolk and vegetables on the side, which is very exquisite. The braised pork is a pork belly with uniform fat and leanness, red and bright color, and a sweet but not greasy taste. Changsha stinky tofu is labeled as the "store manager's recommendation" series, a total of six, sprinkled with coriander, green onion rings, mustard and sesame seeds, although the appearance is good, but the tofu is not cut according to the standard system, and the taste is relatively average. Ningxiang pork, Lipu taro steamed pork ribs, and ancient Dong'an chicken are all popular dishes in the store, which are light and spicy, so you can try them with confidence.
For people who are not accustomed to Hunan cuisine, it is best to order some "spicy" desserts to eat Hunan cuisine. Lychee tomatoes are peeled from chilled tomatoes and soaked together with lychee water, which is sweet and sour, and is a sharp weapon for "relieving spiciness". The spiciness of Hunan cuisine lies in the stamina, and it is best for diners to save this dish for the last.
Yunmengting currently has stores in Yintai Center in99 and Qunguang Plaza in Chengdu. The former store is located in the atrium of the mall, surrounded by noisy and private areas, in terms of dining environment, we recommend the Qunguang Plaza store. Restaurants are inevitably crowded on holidays or meals, and although you don't have to wait too long, some dishes can be served more slowly.
