Hongya Cave is one of the must-see attractions in Chongqing, which not only has a breathtaking landscape, but also brings together many local specialties, one of which is Lao Ma Zhaoshou. Although this shop is located in a scenic spot, it has not become a store specializing in tourist business, and its unique flavor has also been recognized by many locals.
In fact, in the early days, "Lao Ma" represented a kind of copyist in Chongqing with hemp as the main flavor, and later it was also registered as a trademark by some businesses, and the "Lao Ma" written in this article is actually a single store, and the name uses homophones.
The flavor of Lao Ma is in the word "hemp", which brings a peculiar experience to diners in a gradual process. At the beginning of the mouth, it does not bring a strong sense of stimulation, but as the bowl of copying hands is sent into the mouth one by one, the taste of peppercorns becomes more and more intense, and the numbness continues to increase, until finally the whole bowl of copying hands is exhausted, and the numbness is also at its peak, and the lips even unconsciously tremble up and down. The numbness of the hands is divided into three levels: micro, medium and old, and for foreign diners, micro hemp is enough. The quality of this bowl is as attractive as its taste, and the large bowl is dipped in a crimson base, and the part that is not submerged in the oil is white and translucent. The skin is wide and tender, with a chewy texture; The meat filling is slightly smaller, and the meat is pink and tender. In addition to Lao Ma Shou, the store also serves raw soup and various small noodles, but these are not the restaurant's specialty dishes, and the production is a little mediocre.
There is only a small shop in the Hongyadong Food Street, and thanks to its conspicuous signboard on a black background and gold letters, it is easy to be found by diners in the labyrinthine food street. The interior of this restaurant is small and can accommodate up to 10 diners, so crowding is the norm for small restaurants. The hygiene of the store is good, and the wooden tables, chairs and benches are neat and clean. The waiters are enthusiastic, beckoning diners to come in, collecting dishes and chopsticks, and sometimes chatting with customers.
