Mother-in-law Mao Cai - business reviews

"Risk" is a verb that is equivalent to burning. "Hot pot is a group of people's steamed dishes, and steamed vegetables are a person's hot pot" - this is the accurate description of popular public opinion on steamed vegetables. This kind of street food that seems to be a traditional food did not gradually rise until the 90s, for foreign tourists, Chengdu's Mao Cai is somewhat similar to the popular Northern Malatang, both of which are derivatives of hot pot, quite convergent evolution, and the biggest difference is that Mao Cai soup base has red oil.

Most of the restaurants are family-run restaurants, which have long been deeply integrated into the daily life of Chengdu, and their faces are usually simple, and the business targets are mainly nearby residents. Even so, there are still many high-quality shops, and many locals will come to check in.

Granny Mao Cai is one of them, and compared with other shops, the biggest feature of Granny Mao Cai is its fragrant fragrance. Shabu-shabu soup is its secret weapon, the store from the hot pot to find inspiration, select more than 10 kinds of spices to make soup, the complexity of the process is not inferior to the development of hot pot base, in order to avoid being imitated by competitors, every morning to prepare the day's materials in a confined space.

It is worth mentioning that the developer of the soup is not the owner Ms. Li (Granny Li) herself, but the second son: the chef Mr. Li. Although Li Sheng is the core figure of Mao Cai, for insurance reasons, he still plays the banner of "mother-in-law": an older Chengdu person is always proficient in cooking, and "mother-in-law Mao Cai" is far more trustworthy than "young man Mao Cai".

When my mother-in-law opened in 2005, there weren't too many restaurants that paid so much attention to shabu-shabu soup. It is said that at that time, 70 catties of beef and 500 catties of vegetables (including other meats) were sold daily, and the customers who came to the door were far from the teachers and students of the nearby sports college. The chef has trained more than 10 apprentices, who have run Mao Cai restaurants in other provinces. Mother-in-law Mao Cai relies on the unique aroma to win the market, and only after the dish is out of the pot is poured with red oil toppings, "I can't wait to drink all the soup base" - this is the highest praise of loyal diners for Mother-in-law Mao Cai.

In addition to the soup, the chef is most proud of the beef, which tends to be "tender and smooth". The vegetarian beef pot contains a golden combination of beef, potatoes, bean skin and other fried vegetables, which is the best choice in the store, if you want to fill your stomach, you can add meat, belly, yellow throat, seasonal vegetables and other "hot pot dishes", and there is no special way to order the food. In addition, the soup base is mainly fragrant, the amount of edible salt is lower than the average level of Chengdu Mao Cai Restaurant, and the decorations such as coriander, green onions, soybeans, and garlic are also relatively fresh, and the lips and teeth are fragrant with garlic, so you may wish to bring your own chewing gum.
