It's called Flower Boy Chicken
Called flower chicken, also known as "called Hua chicken", is a famous dish in literary masterpieces and local food. Hangzhou commonly uses about a pound of small chickens, different from other practices, wrap the whole chicken with lotus leaves, and add Shaoxing wine feet and mud balls, and the chicken burned out is soaked in the aroma of lotus leaves and wine, which has a unique Hangzhou flavor. In Hangzhou Bang Restaurant, you can basically eat called Huatong Chicken, especially in 1921 Lakeview Restaurant and other large restaurants, there is a ceremony when calling Flower Chicken, after the chef and other people at the table are seated, let the older people personally knock on the mud ball, and say some blessings to the guests, the atmosphere is more festive.
Compared with the freshly made in the restaurant, the flavor of the bagged called Huatong chicken purchased online is inferior. In addition, the chicken is processed and stored for a long time, and the smell of lotus leaves is stronger, and some people are not used to eating it. If conditions permit, the experience of eating in restaurants is much better, and the price is not much different from that of online shopping.
