Folk cuisine is not the same as home-cooked food, but relative to the official cuisine of the past. The official cuisine is more light, delicate, and particular about the materials, while the folk cuisine does not seek to be plastered and other shapes, and uses sufficient ingredients to increase the taste of ordinary ingredients, and the stir-fry is not too particular. Strictly speaking, Chongqing's Jianghu cuisine evolved from folk cuisine, and Chongqing's folk cuisine not only has heavy Jianghu cuisine, but also includes many farmhouse dishes.
The folk cuisine on the side of the stove is mainly Jianghu cuisine, and the overall dishes are not as rich as Yang Jilongfu, but they are also authentic and delicious. There are many spicy dishes that stimulate the taste buds, such as boiling fish, spicy chicken, ginger fried duck, Mao Xuewang, and pepper rabbit. Geyue Mountain Spicy Chicken is stir-fried in the most traditional way, and the crispy spicy seeds are slowly covered with diced chicken, which has a sense of looking for meat to eat in the chili pepper. But in fact, the amount of chicken is not a lot, and the moisture of the chicken evaporates, making it even more crispy. The method of boiling fish is similar to that of boiled beef, and the boiled rapeseed oil needs to be poured on the fish fillets before serving, so that the hot oil also feels boiling when served. This dish is spicy and flavorful, but you also need to be careful with the fish bones when eating, and you should also pay attention to the problem of excessive oil temperature. Although there are not many traditional dishes, they also contain the classics of Sichuan cuisine. Kung Pao Chicken, Back to the Pot Pork, Green Pepper Shredded Pork, Stir-fried Liver and Kidney, Mapo Tofu and more are all available, and the restaurant also intimately marks the taste of each dish on the menu.
Located in the Jiefangbei business district, the restaurant has created the style of a folk wooden restaurant in the past, with light-colored wooden tables and chairs, and stone brick partitions in the dining area of the hall to ensure a sense of space for each table. The lamps in the restaurant are all in the form of antique lanterns, which are similar to Yang Kee Long Mansion, but more concise. The open kitchen also allows customers to see the dishes at a glance.
The service by the stove is enthusiastic and proactive, and the serving and changing dishes can also be taken into account during peak periods. If you want to taste the spicy and heavy dishes of Jianghu cuisine, folk dishes by the stove are also a good choice.
