On the side of the road, before the small county liver in the fifth district of the steel pipe factory settled in Xi'an, the concave string can be said to be the most concerned string incense shop in Xi'an. This local skewer incense shop in Xi'an, drawing on the taste of the bottom of the Chongqing skewer incense pot and combining the tastes of the locals, has won the affirmation of Xi'an people, and even opened stores in Henan, Shanxi, Gansu and other places.
The pronunciation of "concave" is wā, not aō. Since its opening in 2016, it has five stores in Xi'an, most of which are open 24 hours a day, making it easy for customers to dine at any time.
As a native Sichuan and Chongqing flavor of Xi'an, the bottom of the pot adopts the production method of Chongqing Chuanchuan incense. The red pot is based on butter, the butter flavor is fragrant, and the chili pepper is Henan New Generation, Chongqing Shizhuhong and Tianying pepper, and then added pepper, bean paste and other seasonings to stir-fry, the soup base is dark in color, spicy and strong, but the butter flavor is slightly light. The spicy flavor of the red pot is enough to satisfy the local tastes, but it is a little light for diners who like heavy oil and spicy food. In addition to the standard three-fresh pot, there are also mushroom soup pot bottom and tomato pot bottom tomatoes. If you want to try a variety of flavors of pot base, you can order Mercedes-Benz pot and choose any three pot base flavors.
There are about 160 kinds of skewers and plates, all of which are placed in the freezer to keep them fresh. There are many different flavors of beef, including coriander, mint, fennel, celery, green onions, etc., as well as spicy beef that is served on a plate after being prepared with chili peppers. The beef on the concave skewers is different from the tender beef in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, and although the taste is similar, the beef on the concave skewers is more chewy. There are also many unique skewers such as bitter gourd and quail eggs, onions and fungus, white fungus and radish, etc., which are a bit strange and interested diners may wish to try it. The types of plate dishes are equivalent to those of the stick dishes, and the ingredients such as hairy tripe, mille-feuille belly, yellow throat, crab claw meat and other ingredients are not easy to wear in the sticks, and they need to be directly put into the bottom of the pot to cook, which also feels like eating hot pot.
The traditional sesame oil flavor dish is more like the original standard configuration of Chongqing hot pot, and the sesame oil plus garlic, green onion, coriander, salt, oyster sauce, vinegar and other simple seasonings are all that, not as rich as the seasoning in the fifth district of the steel pipe factory. But the concave skewers have a must-have item for northerners to eat hot pot and spicy hot pot - sesame paste. The sesame sauce is rich in flavor, and the bean curd is added to the sesame paste, which is salty and fragrant, and the hot pot-flavored ingredients are wrapped in a thick sesame sauce, which has a unique flavor.
Although according to the standard skewer flavor, the concave skewers are not really authentic, but the neutralization of their flavors just adapts to the local eating habits of Xi'an, with a spicy taste but no Chongqing's heavy oil and spicy, which is very suitable for diners who have a taste of spicy. The service attitude of the concave strings is good, and the reception, pouring tea, and answering questions are proactive. The concave skewers are open 24 hours a day, and it is recommended to go at a staggered peak during peak hours, but if you go too late, you will easily encounter the situation that some ingredients are sold out.
In addition to the skewers themselves, the activities around the skewers are also one of the reasons for the attraction of diners. Since its opening, it has launched co-branded products with brands such as Pepsi and Converse, and has also cooperated with local music festivals and concerts to give away tickets to diners.
