Hedong Road

Located in the Zhaohui area, Hedong Road is the block with the highest density of restaurants in Hangzhou, and was once named Hangzhou Guijie. Today's Hedong Road is the place with the most complete range of Hangzhou-style dishes, with skewers, shabu-shabu, crayfish, chicken pot, etc., so it is also the most suitable for friends who come to Hangzhou for the first time to eat and supper. In its heyday, there were more than 20 crayfish restaurants on this road, but the elimination rate was also high, so the restaurants that have been in operation to this day have good productions.

Liang Da Ma dish

There are many rivers and lakes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which has always been an important source of freshwater fish, and the Xuyi crayfish that is popular all over the country also originated here. With its geographical advantages, Hangzhou has become a close foothold for the development of crayfish restaurants. Therefore, crayfish can be said to be the best choice for Hangzhou people to have a supper leisure.

 

As the enlightenment shop of high-quality crayfish in Hangzhou, Liangda Mama's dishes are quite famous in the hearts of many old Hangzhou. In 2006, a "superb crayfish" in the store cost 288 yuan, which caused a sensation in the city. The huge Xuyi lobster with one or two dollars is cooked over a high fire with the fragrant secret thirteen-spice base, so that customers can not forget it for a long time. The price is as high as 988 yuan, and the "Liang Da Treasure Lobster" is the top dish of the current store, and the rare crayfish weighing two taels is one finger thicker than the "best crayfish". The tight shrimp body absorbs the mellow broth, which is fresh and spicy, and the aftertaste is sweet, which is impressive. Due to the limited supply of ingredients, customers are required to make reservations in advance with the store. In recent years, with the opening of a large number of crayfish restaurants in Hangzhou, the limelight of Liang Da Mama's cuisine has dropped slightly, and the taste of the low-priced series of "boutique lobster" has been no different from that of other stores.

Ding Kee salt dipped in beef

Speaking of Ding Ji, I have to mention Ding Jintang, the father of the shopkeeper Ding Jun. He used to be the head chef of the city's long-established restaurant "Hangzhou Restaurant", and it is said that he has traveled to Zhongnanhai on behalf of Hangzhou many times to cook Hangzhou food for national leaders, and his skills are highly praised. His son Ding Jun and son-in-law Wang Ping inherited their father's mantle and founded the Ding Kee restaurant brand in 2004, which has become a well-known late-night snack restaurant on Hedong Road. The original flavor of the ingredients is simmered over low heat with only a small amount of cooking wine, spices and secret recipes until the meat turns from red to white, then sliced and served on a plate with white paper. The thinly sliced beef has a clear texture and a crispy texture, and is dipped in the store's special yellowed salt powder, which makes the meat of the beef so delicious that you can't stop chopsticks. It should be noted that the old store on Hedong Road is now closed, and customers only need to move a few dozen meters in the direction of Changban Lane to reach the new store.

There is a king of scallops

Opened just six years ago, it has nearly 40 branches in Hangzhou, Shanghai, Lianyungang and other places in the form of direct sales and franchises, and can be called the largest kebab restaurant in Hangzhou. The brand's store on Hedong Road is conspicuous by the large lighting sign and the refrigerator oven lined up at the entrance. The well-laid out card seats and ceiling lamp wall decorations also add a lot of points to the store's image. Scallops are the shop's signature signature, and the scallops are topped with vermicelli and roasted with garlic over a high fire, and retain the sweet soup that overflows with the ingredients, giving them a smooth and fragrant texture. Classic barbecue dishes such as oysters, wings, lamb skewers and baby abalone also performed well, with a high order rate. Due to the large number of brand stores and the uneven quality of the products produced by each store, it is only recommended that customers go to the Hedong Road store and Shenglihe store to eat.
