When it comes to Wen Heyou, most people think of crayfish, but those who are familiar with Wen Heyou will know that although Wen Heyou is famous for crayfish, it is also a good place to taste authentic Hunan cuisine.
Changsha people love to eat crayfish, "taste shrimp" comes from Changsha, the crayfish head is removed, leaving tongs and shrimp tails, adding perilla and garlic together, this is the old Changsha taste shrimp practice, in many Hunan restaurants will appear. Shrimp is one of Wen Heyou's most famous dishes, but it's not the only signature of the restaurant, along with the restaurant's staple of the delicious bullfrog.
Juewei bullfrog is one of the signature signs of Wenheyou Lobster Restaurant, and although the reputation of Juewei bullfrog is far less than that of flavored shrimp, it does not prevent it from becoming a popular dish. Instead of being covered with red peppers and green peppers like ordinary Hunan dishes, the bullfrog is replaced with mint leaves and wild peppers, and the bullfrog is chopped into pieces for better flavor, whether it is frog meat or soup, it can be described as spicy. Wenheyou's characteristic taste snake is a delicacy developed on the basis of combining Ningxiang taste snake, Yueyang ginger spicy snake, Changsha spicy snake, the restaurant uses the black snake, the snake itself is more compact, the snake meat in the finished product has removed the fishy smell, the snake skin is soft and crisp after the flavor and juice, the snake meat is not hard and rotten, and the delicate and fresh taste. Small soft-shelled turtle, braised yellow eel, and stir-fried pork knuckle skin are all good dishes, in addition, the restaurant also provides barbecue products, such as grilled pork ribs, grilled squid and Xiangxi special roast butter.
When you come to Wenheyou Lobster Restaurant, you must try the classic old Changsha stinky tofu and lard bibimbap. Poke out a small hole on the "stinky dried seeds", pour chili oil, and then sprinkle with garlic, chili radish, and coriander leaves, although it smells stinky, but it tastes crispy on the surface, tender and smooth inside, fragrant and juicy. Although the lard bibimbap is simple to make, it is a famous Changsha delicacy, and an excellent lard bibimbap should ensure that the grains of rice are covered with lard, and the lard after neutralization with the rice is not greasy, and then drizzled with a little soy sauce, it is better to eat with Hunan cuisine. After eating the heavy oil and spicy crayfish, it is better to order a refreshing perilla peach ginger, the drink is soaked and pickled with perilla, peaches, ginger, bayberry, etc., which is sweet and sour, making the stomach comfortable and bringing the feeling of "washing away the greasy".
The restaurant design has always been a major feature of every Wenheyou lobster restaurant, and the Chengdu store has taken the nostalgic route in decoration, adding a lot of Chengdu elements, and the radio, abacus, enamel bowls and cups and other items are also very old.
The rapid popularity of Wenheyou Lobster House is inseparable from the fame of the brand itself and the quality of the dishes. In addition, many diners have complained that the prices of the dishes in the restaurant are more expensive, but the portions are really not much.
