Chongqing's undulating terrain, many air-raid shelters, or catering projects are operated in-house, this category is called "Dongzi" restaurant, which is a major business card of Chongqing. One of the oldest Dongzi restaurants in Tsang Lao Yu Zhuang has a history of more than 20 years, and the owner even claims to be the founder of the category. Although this set of statements cannot be verified, due to the excellent flavor of the cold pot produced, it did not affect the loyalty of gourmets at all, and it also attracted Chen Xiaoqing to make a special visit.
As the name suggests, the fish village is marked by the crucian carp in the post booth, which is a must-eat at any time of the day. This cold pot fish is named because it flourishes in the town of Posting, and the pot material belongs to the flavor of Jianghu cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, but its spicy and hemp taste is not heavy, and the salty fragrance is more abundant; Crucian carp stew without frying pre-treatment, can fully taste the original taste of the fish, although there are many small intermuscular spines, but the meat quality is undeniable. After serving, the crucian carp is served in a small and medium-sized pot, and the diners' plate is "fish-shaped", just the size of a whole crucian carp, and the plate is spread with beans, pickles, diced green onions and other ingredients, suitable for the original soup to taste.
Yuzhuang also produces similar flavors of shrimp, crab, frog, catfish, dragon fish, shrimp, crab taste spicy, very praised, but the freshness is not stable, dragon fish is a more secure choice, it has fewer spines and no fishy smell. The dry pot series includes pork ribs, chicken wings, and phoenix feet, and pork ribs are the most popular among customers and have become a must-eat item. However, it has a dry and hard taste, a strong chewiness, and a heavy flavor, which is not suitable for all diners.
There are also 7 kinds of fruity and meat flying cakes in other supporting roles, and the standard is mediocre. There are nearly 40 kinds of cold dishes, and diners from other places can taste side dishes with local characteristics, such as husband and wife lung slices and flavored beans. More than 10 kinds of hot dishes are also quite home-like, including fried crispy pork, mapo tofu, etc., and the flavor is not faulty.
Don't choose Dongzi Restaurant just for the special flavor, for non-diners, the "Dongzi" environment of the restaurant is more interesting. Chongqing's status as a capital allowed it to have more bomb shelters than any other southwestern city, and by 1942 it had a total capacity of more than 420,000 people. Today's air-raid shelters have lost their original functions and have become the daily life of the locals, a place to enjoy the cool, watch the theater, and eat. Although there is little official publicity, there are not a few tourists who admire and experience the Dongzi restaurant, compared with the "intangible cultural heritage", this kind of daily life is the glory of a city.
The space in the store is meandering, with more than 30 tables distributed in a serpentine shape. The "roof" is made of primitive mountain rock, with a chaotic shape and irregular arrangement, and the wall skirts are paved with white tiles without any superfluous decoration. The mobile phone number of the letter in the cave is poor, and the clerk communicates with the walkie-talkie. Although the space is interesting, it also brings the disadvantages of poor ventilation and hygiene. It should be noted that this situation is more obvious in the evening, when the best time to taste Zeng Laoqi is noon.
