Reading the list of well-known shops in Chengdu, you will find that many famous shops operate in dilapidated residential areas, and Chengdu's 82 mailboxes have become a gathering place for "foreign chefs". The family area of the Tuwan Heavy Cotton Factory in Shapingba, Chongqing, is similar, where long-established fly officials such as Tan Tanyu and Yao Yaoji are located; Almost all the old homes in the area look like dilapidated houses, in stark contrast to the high-rise real estate projects that surround them.
Tan Tan Fish and Fish Hot Pot are somewhat similar, but whether they are classified according to flavor and cooking process, the finished product is different from the mainstream pots on the market. The soup base is spicy red oil, but sauerkraut is added, so it brings a sour taste; When preparing the meal, the fish fillets are first stir-fried with hot oil until they are half-cooked, and after they are stewed in the pot, there is no hot oil topping, which is different from the cooking scheme of common fish hot pot in Chongqing, and has more home-style characteristics.
The owner only serves grass carp, the fillet is not thick, and the taste is fresh and tender after coming out of the pot, but the disadvantage is that the flavor is not too deep. In contrast, the konjac flakes are thicker, and the sauerkraut preparation can be regarded as the highlight, which is a very authentic Chongqing flavor, even more appealing than the fish fillet. The flavor and texture of Tan Tan fish are not first-class in Chongqing, and although the preparation method is unique, there are not many repeat customers. If you are interested in fish hot pot, you may wish to read the relevant list, all of which are better than Tan Tan Fish in terms of fish species, environment, and service.
If you are interested in visiting Tan Tan Yu, it is best to call in advance, and the small shop is a family business model. To avoid overwork, the owner only accepts diners by appointment. It is best to choose to enter from the north side of Poly Real Estate when traveling, which can effectively reduce the "mountaineering" experience.
