Beijiang Hotel, Loulan and Tianshan Legend (No.6) are the most well-known chain brands in Chongqing, and they are located in popular shopping malls with high customer traffic, which is a window for locals to get in touch with Xinjiang cuisine. Headquartered in Suzhou, Beijiang Hotel has branches in many cities, and has been franchised since 2012. Compared with Loulan and Tianshan Legend, Beijiang Hotel has the best taste, and the performance of each branch is relatively stable, which is worthy of priority.
There are differences in the products of the branches of the North Xinjiang Hotel in different cities. The Chongqing store retains the highly recognizable Dahan grilled lamb chops and cantaloupe yogurt. Dahan roasted lamb chops roasted lamb saddle, with meat on the bones, and the outline resembles a battle axe. A small amount of fat is distributed in the lean meat, which plays an important role in enhancing the flavor, unlike common ribs, the fat is layered and easy to get greasy. In fact, the saddling is very common in Xinjiang restaurants in Shanghai, where it can be eaten with knives and forks in an elegant way, so it is very popular. The Beijiang Hotel wraps tin foil at the end of the bone to prevent scalding and oil leakage, and it is a great meal without losing its dignity. Cantaloupe yogurt is to dig half a fresh cantaloupe pulp into small balls, white yogurt wraps each pulp, and serves it in the cantaloupe skin.
Most of the dishes in the restaurant are similar to traditional Xinjiang restaurants. Mixed with shredded sweet potatoes, northern Xinjiang vegetable soup, teppanyaki, etc., these dishes have nothing to do with Xinjiang cuisine, and are purely used by merchants to enrich the menu and cater to the tastes of diners from all over the world, and are not worth tasting.
The store is clean, the dining area is a certain distance from the kitchen, and there is no smell of oil smoke. In terms of the environment, service and location of the comprehensive shopping mall store, the Beijiang Hotel is a more conservative choice because of the high cost performance. Wanhui Center Store is located in the core business district of Guanyinqiao, which is the most popular, and there are occasional queues.
The founder of Loulan once worked in the Beijiang Hotel, and the cuisine and decoration style are similar to those of the Beijiang Hotel. In Chongqing, the number of its branches is twice that of Beijiang Restaurant, but Loulan has changed its business strategy, and the mutton is distributed to each branch after the original unified acid discharge, and the kitchen of each branch handles it by itself.
