There are similarities in the dietary characteristics of the two lakes area, and in Wuhan, there are many locals who love to eat Hunan cuisine. However, there are a large number of Hunan restaurants, but the brands are somewhat mixed, and local brands are often more familiar with the taste habits of the locals than foreign brands. Among them, the performance of the local time-honored brand - Weiweitang is particularly prominent.
Founded in 2002, Taste Hall was a small restaurant with a rugged environment, and after more than ten years of development, Taste Hall has become a well-known Hunan restaurant in Wuhan and has opened a number of branches. Weiweitang focuses on Hunan cuisine, and there is no lack of Hubei cuisine and Cantonese cuisine in the menu. The variety of cuisines does not affect the quality of the products, taking the Huiji Road branch as an example, the restaurant has nearly 40 chefs, and different chefs are in charge of different cuisines, and most of the chefs in charge of Hunan cuisine are from Hunan. The dishes of Weiweitang change from time to time, and the restaurant mainly promotes different series according to the season, and the black goat series in winter and crayfish in summer can be regarded as examples. Each chef's recommended dish on the menu comes with a detailed description of the ingredients, cooking methods, taste characteristics, etc., so that diners can easily understand and order the dishes.
Weiweitang can lead the way in Wuhan Hunan restaurant, and the gold-lettered signature flavor fish head has contributed a lot. The bighead carp used in the taste of the fish head comes from the deep-water reservoir around Wuhan, and the fish weighs 5 catties, with few spines on the side of the fish head, and the meat is tender and smooth. The soy pepper used in the flavor fish head is homemade by the store, blended with a variety of chili peppers such as green peppers and Hainan yellow lanterns, and the pepper is rich in flavor and spicy for most locals. In addition to the above, the surface of the fish head is sprinkled with a powder made by grinding herbs such as angelica, angelica, chuanqiong, and multiflori, and a special fish paste is added to the dishes. The taste of fine powder is not obvious, and it has little effect on the original taste of the fish head. Taste Hall has also launched a dish called "Taste Organic Fish Head", which is an upgraded version of Flavor Fish Head. The taste of organic fish head is made of bighead carp from Wangjiawan, Li County, Hunan Province, the ingredients are different, but the method is similar to the taste of fish head, and the taste of the two is not much different.
Green bean fried eel is also highly praised, but it is slightly less popular than the flavor of fish head. Yellow eel is very common in the two lakes area, and in Hunan cuisine, yellow eel is often eaten with cucumber or garlic moss. The flavor hall is fried with green beans and yellow eel, the yellow eel is delicious, and it is stained with the sweetness of green beans, which is very delicious.
Among all the dishes in Taste Hall, the flavor fish head has stolen too much of the limelight, and although the selection rate of some dishes is not high, the taste can bring surprises, such as wind-blown beef and flavored pig's trotters. Different from the usual practice of beef, wind-blown beef is to cut the yellow beef into thin slices, and the juice is collected during the stir-fry, the beef has a firm taste, full of chewiness, and the seasoning such as dried chili peppers is also more distinct. The taste of the pig's trotters is ruddy and bright, and the size of the pig's trotters is easy to chew. The pig's trotters taste very obvious gelatinous texture, the leather is thick, the entrance is soft and rotten, and it will not produce a greasy taste if you eat too much. In addition, ginger and garlic casserole chicken, stir-fried skirt scallops, and dry pot small beautiful frogs are also dishes worth trying.
Weiweitang has opened three stores in Wuhan, each with its own characteristics. Luoyu Road store is the main store, and there is a children's area in the restaurant, where books and toys are prepared for small diners, so that customers will not be too tired when taking care of children; Huiji Road store has a banquet hall and large and small private rooms, which are more suitable for banquet guests. The stores are all decorated in a unified style, with a simple design and a good dining environment. The quality of the restaurant's service is also worth mentioning, with the waiters treating diners with a warm attitude, detailing the characteristics of each dish and making recommendations according to their tastes. The only fly in the ointment is that the portion of the restaurant is on the small side.
