Chongqing cuisine belongs to the Xiahebang cuisine of Sichuan cuisine, also known as Chongqing style Sichuan cuisine or Sichuan-Chongqing cuisine. Its style is bold and rough, and it is known for daring to innovate, bold materials, and many patterns, which is in line with the atmosphere of Chongqing's rivers and lakes, so it is also known as Jianghu cuisine. Different from Chengdu cuisine, which originated in the imperial court, many classic dishes of Chongqing Jianghu cuisine are from the people in the market, such as the wharf slender man who pulls fiber along the Yangtze River, the kitchen of ordinary families, and the roadside shop...... Jianghu cuisine emphasizes heavy oil and heavy hemp, and the ingredients are not informal, and the spicy ingredients under the big pot and basin are released through the high-temperature rapeseed oil, and then integrated into the ingredients. In recent years, dishes such as Mao Xuewang, boiled fish, and spicy chicken have become popular all over the country with the name of Jianghu cuisine, but if you want to taste the most authentic "Jianghu flavor", you must come to Chongqing and find a hearty taste in the spicy and hot taste.
In 2015, Yeo Kee Long Mansion picked up its ancestral signs and dishes and reopened, and after rapid expansion, it expanded to stores all over the city. As the largest Jianghu restaurant in the city, Yang Ji Longfu has a rich variety of dishes and tastes, including boiled, stir-fried, spicy marinated, cold salad, and fried Jianghu cuisine. The main dish Yangfu signature fish originates from the practice of coming to the anchovy, using the Jiangbei cage to breed grass carp, the fish meat is cut in half and then edged with a "word knife", this practice makes the fish better absorb the aroma of chili peppers and secret sauces, and after simmering, the fish fairy grass is poured with hot oil, which can not only lock in the gravy, but also stimulate the spicy pepper and pepper, making the fish more flavorful. In 2015, Yang Kee's signature fish was listed on the list of famous Chinese dishes and became the representative of Chongqing's Jianghu cuisine.
Another hard dish, the Overlord Rabbit, is also very popular. This innovative Jianghu dish retains the momentum of "10,000 chili peppers and a little rabbit" in the pepper rabbit, and brings out the fresh aroma of rabbit meat with a lot of spiciness; Because of the addition of pickled pepper and pickled ginger, it has a strong sour and spicy taste. The rabbit meat, which is completely soaked in red oil, is oily and delicate, and is more tender against the backdrop of rattan pepper and peppercorns. Spicy chicken, peppered chicken, and Mao Xuewang are also the store's signature hard dishes, and the common feature is that the portion is large and the flavor is strong, so it is recommended to determine the appropriate amount and taste from the waiter.
The hard dishes of Yang Kee Long Mansion are outstanding, and many home-cooked dishes are also very distinctive. As a special product of Bayu countryside in winter, bacon is stir-fried with spices, and the aromatic appearance constitutes the memories of many people's childhood New Year. Yang Jilongfu uses fat and thin old bacon, fried with cypress trees, the fat of the meat is mixed with the fragrance of cypress, the fragrance is fragrant, and it is very good for rice; The chef also uses a dustpan as a serving utensil, which is full of farmhouse characteristics.
In terms of dim sum, the first recommendation is Ching Ling Baifeng cake. The rind is dried to form a thin layer of puff pastry; The inside is white and soft and has a rice wine aroma, and the soft and slightly sweet flavor can relieve the spiciness. And the funny name of the "bald commander" is actually a fried hemp ball, a huge hemp ball with a golden color and a shape like a full moon. The downside of this eye-catching snack is that the fluffy texture is limited to the outer layer, and the inside is often lacking in flavor, which is difficult for many customers to eat.
In addition to the excellent production, the well-crafted environment is also an important factor for Yang Kelong Mansion to stand out among the many Jianghu restaurants. In the Liberation Monument where tourists gather, the storefront of Yang Jilong Mansion occupies more than 800 square meters, focusing on the style of the Republic of China: the exterior wall of red bricks and green tiles, the plaque with gold paint on a black background, and two paper lanterns with the word "Longfu" written on it. The exterior of the antique mansion contrasts sharply with the trendy and lively streetscape. The room is divided into several bright stalls according to the types of dishes, snacks, barbecue, fish and shrimp, frogs and rabbits, which not only have the atmosphere of a food street, but also show the production process to the guests. The mahogany tables and chairs used in the dining area, and the paper lanterns overhead are also full of ancient charm, and the dining atmosphere is far beyond the ordinary Jianghu restaurant.
Although the spicy taste of some dishes in Yang Ji Long Mansion is not extreme, for tourists, the variety and quantity of products here are diverse, which not only has the essence of Jianghu cuisine, but also can adapt to the taste of most people. What's more, the standardized management brings stable production, the probability of customers stepping on thunder is greatly reduced, and the environment is not as simple as most Jianghu restaurants, which makes Yang Jilong Mansion the first choice for diners to taste Sichuan cuisine in Chongqing.
The traffic of Jiefangbei store is very large, it is recommended to call in advance to make an appointment, or move to other branches in the city.
