"From the south gate to the north gate, seven miles and three points." It is a common saying in Changsha, the south gate was the south gate of Changsha earlier, and it is also one of the most lively places in Changsha. There are many local delicacies here, and Alley Pork Knuckle is one of them. Opened in the mid-80s of the last century, its popularity has almost only increased in its 30-year history, and it has been highly praised by both neighbors and diners.
Pork knuckles are naturally one of the store's favorite snacks, with a few pieces of pork trotters served in a dark brown broth and only chopped green onions to accentuate the fragrance. It may seem simple, but it is only when you eat it that you understand its allure, the pig's feet are soft and chewy, and the spicy flavor of the soup is soaked into the pig's feet. The high content of collagen thickens the soup at the bottom, and the whole bowl of pork knuckles is exhausted, and diners will also feel a little sticky lips.
After fire, scraping and tweezers, the pig's feet are blanched and rinsed first, which makes the pig's feet very clean and the taste is more Q-elastic. Cooking is an important part of the sublimation process of this bowl of pork knuckles, which is first simmered in a pressure cooker with several spices, and then simmered in a large pot over low heat. In this way, the pig's feet in the alley are used on hundreds of catties of pig's feet every day.
In addition to pork knuckles, there are many types of snacks in the store, such as red oil chicken feet, white fungus lotus seed porridge, and dried tofu, which have been well received by diners. Chicken feet are softer than pork feet, fresh and spicy, and diners can separate the bones and meat without much effort. White fungus lotus seed porridge is not thickened, the purity is quite high, and it is sweet and most suitable with pig's feet.
Similar to many old shops on the street, Alley Pig's Feet does not have a decent dining environment. There are two storefronts side by side under the simple door number, and the stove is set up to cook snacks, and the smell of fireworks is strong; On one side is a dine-in restaurant, which is small but still transparent. The hygienic environment in the store is average, and the table top is slightly greasy. Due to its overly prosperous business, waiters and bosses often have no time to take care of every diner, and diners need to do their own dishes.
