Tea restaurants were born in the ordinary class of Hong Kong citizens, and their evolution is also bottom-up, and a qualified Hong Kong tea owner should be familiar with the eating habits of every regular customer and neighbor. Dishes such as pineapple oil, toast, and mandarin duck milk tea are standard dishes in Hong Kong-style tea restaurants. In the mainland, tea and tea restaurants appear as foreign "cuisines", most of which integrate the style of Cantonese restaurants, selling roast goose and steamed snacks, which are more like affordable Cantonese restaurants. Chengdu has evolved its own eating habits, and there are naturally only a handful of "authentic" tea restaurants, with dishes and tastes different from those in Hong Kong or the coastal areas of the mainland.
After moving into Chengdu, Wu Tea Restaurant, a Lingnan restaurant, quickly became the most popular tea restaurant. The head office of the Wu series is in Guangzhou, the owner is a Hong Kong person, the dishes and style of Chengdu are in the same vein as the Guangzhou store, and the richness of the dishes can meet the needs of most diners. It is not for nothing that the Wu family is popular in Rongcheng.
A thick menu includes almost all the dishes of Guangdong and Hong Kong, including congee, noodles, rice soup, all kinds of roasted and steamed snacks, and even some street food in Hong Kong, such as fried large intestines, bowl wings, egg waffles, etc. In the evening, the Wu department even launched the side stove. The side stove is a Cantonese-style hot pot, which is mainly cooked with ingredients such as sashimi, squid fillet, and prawn slices, which is relatively rare in Chengdu, which is full of red soup hot pot.
Pineapple oil and toast are the star products of Hong Kong-style tea restaurants. Although Wu's pineapple oil cannot be compared with local production in Hong Kong, it is also the best in Chengdu tea restaurants. The chilled pineapple oil of the Wu series can achieve a golden and crispy skin, and the butter does not melt when served, but as the heat of the pineapple bun itself rises, a whole piece of butter inside will melt and slowly seep into the pineapple bun, and the taste is mellow and rich, and the cutting method of one open and four is also convenient for customers to eat. In Chengdu tea restaurants, only Wu is the only one who can be so careful. Toast is also a must-have for the Kure system, and the toast is grilled until golden brown, and when cut, the peanut butter in the middle flows out, making it sweet but not greasy. Toast is also served with honey and butter separately, customers can enhance the taste of Toast according to their personal preferences, the honey provided by Wu is from Swire's brand, and the butter is made from Anchor, and the ingredients and ingredients are excellent.
With pineapple oil and toast, it's natural to have a drink to go with it. Wu provides all kinds of milk tea and frozen drinks, including iced milk tea, mandarin ducks, coffee, tea go, brown go, frozen lemon tea, and salted lemon seven. The main ingredients and drink quantities of each type of drink are included in the menu, so that customers can see them at a glance. However, its quality is far from first-class, and an excellent Hong Kong tea ice product should use frozen milk tea blocks to maintain low temperatures, so as to ensure that the flavor of milk tea is not out of shape after the "ice cubes" are melted.
You can also try the siu-mei and lo-mei of the Wu series, with a total of nearly 20 types, and the best solution is the siu-mei brine double platter rice, which can taste both flavors. The roast chicken, barbecued pork, and roast pork ribs are crispy and tender, while the marinated sausage, pork belly, goose kidney, and other juices are delicious, and the rice is just right. Although the dishes of Wu Tea Restaurant are highly selective, not all of them are good, such as bowl wings, egg waffles and other street foods are not recommended, the taste is not good, and they are not the main dishes of the restaurant, so it is recommended to choose carefully.
In addition to the dishes, the decoration style is also eye-catching. Located in the Taikoo Li commercial center, the interior of the restaurant reveals the old Hong Kong style, with "psoriasis" on the wall and tableware sets on the table, which really gives the illusion of being in a TVB scene. The restaurant is divided into indoor and outdoor areas, with large tables and small tables, which can be used for large dinners or small gatherings of friends. If the weather is not hot, you can choose to sit in the outdoor area with a view of the streets of Taikoo Li from the second floor. The service of the Wu system is also more intimate, and the waiter will take the initiative to ask the customer's needs, such as the seat position, the taste of the dishes, etc., and will also introduce the methods of different dishes to the customer. Umbrellas and other items are also available.
However, when you go to the Wu Tea Restaurant to dine, you basically need to queue up, and occasionally you will encounter the situation of sharing a table. The price of Wu is on the high side, and it is the most expensive Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in Chengdu.
