There are a large number of hot pot restaurants in Chongqing, but the homogenization is serious, and the dishes of many old hot pot restaurants have not even increased or decreased for more than ten years. Under this, it is particularly rare to be able to make small innovations in individual dishes.
Self-marinated fat sausage is the basic dish of every hot pot restaurant, and unlike other hot pot restaurants, Xiaobin's fat sausage has an additional degreasing procedure before marinating, and most of the fat inside the fat sausage is manually removed. The defatted fat sausage has a more chewy texture, and the aroma of butter also penetrates into the fat sausage cortex, so it will not feel greasy even if it is dipped in oil. The five-spice hairy terrier is selected from the hairy tripe outside the cow's shutters, and its appearance is different from that of ordinary hairy tripe, more like a belly strip, and the five-spice powder is pre-marinated to make it lightly scalded enough to absorb the flavor, and the taste is soft and tough.
Dried cauliflower and tribute cabbage balls are also rare, the color of dehydrated and dried cauliflower has been brownish-yellow, the taste is tough after blanching, and the sweetness is obvious. Inspired by coriander balls, the innovation of the ingredients not only solves the distress of diners who do not eat coriander, but also gives this classic dish a new taste. The stems and leaves of coriander are soft, and the overall taste is no different from ordinary meatballs after mixing with the meat puree, but the texture of the tribute vegetables is crisp, and the crispness of the tribute vegetables fully dissolves into the softness of the meat after chopping, and the entrance is refreshing and delicious.
Xiaobin's old and new stores are located in Yangjiaping Zhigang Avenue Hot Pot Street, adjacent to well-known hot pot restaurants such as Mine Hot Pot, Dahu, and Yuzong Old Stove. The old store has a simple environment, which is a row of iron sheds, and the new store is more carefully decorated, and the hygiene is more comfortable than the old store. There is not much difference in taste, dishes and service between the two restaurants, and diners can choose according to their own situation.
