Xiaomenkan Sanheyu is one of the most popular restaurants in 2017-2018, and many diners even think that the so-called "Sanheyu" is the original creation of Xiaomenkan, and the popularity can be imagined. The production method claims to integrate the cooking habits of Tai'an fish, Wujiang fish and Beidu fish, but it is similar to the traditional fish hot pot restaurants such as Jiyouzhi Fish Garden (No.5) and Liu Fatwa (No.7).
The taste of the soup is very authentic, which has a lot to do with the owner's experience. Before opening the restaurant, the owner had been in the business for nearly 10 years at his family's traditional hot pot restaurant, Mei Frog Fish Head Restaurant, and had worked as a chef in charge of base ingredients, so he knew the process of making ingredients in detail. The bottom of the sauerkraut pot is made of cabbage, and the middle leaves are selected to ferment, and the bottom of the sauerkraut fish pot is made of this pickled vegetable, and its selection rate is quite high.
In terms of fish, there are three kinds of silver carp, tilapia, yellow and spicy dice, and Hualien will also sell fish heads, as we all know, silver carp is also known as fathead fish, the head accounts for up to 1/3 of the total length of the fish body, and there are many diners who love to eat fish heads, so you may wish to pay attention to this demand. The fish and frogs in the store are made on a first-come, first-served basis, and the buying team is sometimes searched for at night to ensure that the ingredients are fresh, even if they are looking for cost-effective.
The sauerkraut fish pot bottom and triple fish in the store are the most popular, the former has a light taste and is suitable for yellow and spicy dice. Sanhe fish is heavy in oil and salt, dry chili pepper and Sichuan pepper are poured in the final process, although the oil is splashed, the flavor is usually not too deep, and the salty taste of the fish fillet is better after being boiled for a long time, which is suitable for the silver carp with a stronger fishy smell. Interestingly, the small threshold is modeled on the alcohol content of spirits to indicate the spiciness of the bottom of the pot, subdivided into 12° spicy (slightly spicy), 36° spicy (medium spicy), 56° spicy (heavy spicy) three specifications, and it is not difficult to choose 12° when you are not spicy. The phenomenon of lack of catties in the store is rare, and the cost performance is very high, and the price of fish labeling generally does not exceed 30 yuan / catty, which is very friendly.
The frog size of Xiaomenkan is significantly larger than that produced by Liu Fatwa (No.7), which brings a fuller taste, but it is not easy to taste. In terms of side dishes, there are 30 kinds of vegetarian dishes and 8 kinds of meat dishes, all of which are typical categories of Chongqing hot pot, and the quality is not outstanding.
As of the autumn of 2018, Xiaomenkan has been in business for about a year, and the queue size is often at its peak, although it has eased after the establishment of the branch, it is still wise to plan the time in advance. According to the store's business philosophy, consumers who queue for more than 30 minutes will receive discounts, and the intensity will increase with the extension of the waiting time, and the small threshold will show a good cost performance.
