Penglu Shrimp City - business reviews

Penglu Shrimp City is a legendary brand in the crayfish industry in Changsha. As early as more than ten years ago, Xinge transferred Xinge's local restaurant to Peng Lu, and the restaurant was a great success after Peng Lu launched fried shrimp, and the business was booming. Later, Peng Lu transferred the local restaurant to others, and went to Yuhuating Xinjian East Road to relaunch the "Xinge Shrimp City" brand, which was once again affirmed by many diners. Later, considering that there were too many "new brother" brands in Changsha, Peng Lu directly used his own name as the store name, which also proved his confidence in his crayfish dishes to a certain extent.

The main fried shrimp is that the quality of the shrimp in Penglu Shrimp City is naturally not low. The restaurant buys directly from the fishermen of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, and they are basically more than 1 tael of prawns. Crayfish arrive fresh every day, but you have to rest in water for two days to let the crayfish spit out a little mud and sand in their stomachs. After the diners ordered, the restaurant manually brushed it twice and cleaned the bottom plate of the shrimp.

There are three sizes of crayfish, which are 456 gold, 679 yuan, and prawns with more than 1 tael. 456 money is generally only used to make shrimp tails and marinated shrimp, and prawns are only provided with fried shrimp and steamed shrimp.

More than ten years ago, Changsha was basically the world of shrimp flavors. Penglu Shrimp City is one of the first restaurants to introduce the fried shrimp with a secret sauce to eat fried shrimp, which has attracted the attention of a large number of diners. The crayfish are carefully selected for excellent quality, and diners can find that their gills are white when they break open the shrimp head. Eat it directly without dipping sauce, the meat is full of elasticity, and the rich juice even has a hint of sweetness. The restaurant offers two types of dipping sauces – the traditional chutney and the classic chili sauce. The former has been inherited for more than ten years, and after continuous adjustment, the sauce is sweet and sour, with a very clear ginger, raw garlic, and chopped pepper flavor; The latter is spicy with a strong sauce aroma. Both have good performance when eaten with shrimp meat.

Fried shrimp is the foundation of the restaurant, and the shrimp and eggs are another weapon of Penglu Shrimp City. In addition to "Penglu Shrimp City", the restaurant was also named "Shrimp Egg", which can be seen to some extent the star status of this dish. The shrimp egg is a modification of the traditional shrimp flavor, and in addition to konjac tofu, side dishes such as quail eggs and bean sprouts are added. The shrimp meat is firm and rich, and the rich flavor fully invades it, making it spicy and enjoyable. It is also worth trying the garlic shrimp king, the garlic fragrance is strong, and the shrimp meat is sweet after chewing for a long time.

There are now two stores in Penglu Shrimp City, the decoration is simple and generous, and the appearance is relatively clean. The waiters in the store have a good attitude and are basically responsive.
