The Spice Market is a brand in Shanghai, and the two branches in Chengdu are located in Taikoo Li and The MixC respectively, and the location and high-value decoration have gilded it, especially the floor-to-ceiling windows and garden-style open-air seats of the Taikoo Li store, which have subverted many people's impression of Xinjiang restaurants.
The location and decoration style determine that its main customer group is young people. The restaurant has upgraded the level with the "software" of plating and service, and the price has risen, so the patrons are petty bourgeois young people with strong spending power. Its dishes cater to the consumption habits of young people, the amount of dishes is small, and the presentation is exquisite. In order to improve the appearance, Ding Ding fried noodles and Xinjiang cold skin are appropriately added with purple cabbage, green cress and other vegetables to enhance the color, and the yogurt is decorated with fresh mint leaves, which is visually beautiful, which inherits the exquisite style of the Shanghai store.
The service is quite outstanding, not to mention the regular reception, the guests can enjoy the manual sliding door service of the star hotel, compared to Chengdu a rough Xinjiang restaurant, the spice market has absolute competitiveness.
The taste of the Shanghai store of the spice market is remarkable, but after coming to Chengdu, the taste is a little difficult to keep up. The signature mutton appears to be "unadaptable", mutton skewers, slow roast leg of mutton and other meat quality is dry, preferring a refreshing taste, it can be seen to maintain the practice of the Shanghai store, but the mutton aroma is insufficient, it is recommended that guests boldly try the fatty meat, the tender fat is far less greasy than pork, and its unique mutton flavor will make up for the lack of lean meat flavor.
The noodles performed well, and the noodles of various shapes were very chewy, seasoned and fragrant. Xinjiang is one of the earliest regions to eat noodles in Chinese history, and the authentic method is pure hand-drawn, with a chewy and solid taste, which can be appreciated in the spice market. The wide and flat trouser belt surface is refreshing and elastic; Ding Ding fried noodles are long noodles cut into cubes and soaked in soup, which is elastic and smooth; The dry stir-fry is fried at high temperature, and the surface is moist and waxy. Different pasta dishes have subtle differences in texture, and it's worth trying multiple times, and you can't go wrong with any order.
Based on the current tastes, we recommend Taikoo Li's first store in Chengdu. Diners who are looking for the environment and don't pay much attention to taste can also choose other branches nearby.
