In general, the farmhouse attracts diners only with its down-to-earth and delicious farmhouse dishes. However, the Xiwan Tubazao, located in the Wangshan Scenic Area, took out the "Tubazao" as its own gatekeeper. This off-the-beat approach has not only won the attention of many older customers, but also attracted the attention of many gastronomic media, making the restaurant famous and popular.
The "earth eight stoves" mentioned in the restaurant are actually primitive farmhouse stoves. All dishes are made with a firewood fire and an iron pot on a stove, and are said to have the smell of fireworks (鑊qi) that lingers on the palate. In fact, this refers to the use of fierce fire and appropriate cooking time to produce dishes with color, aroma, taste and shape, which are linked to the chef's cooking level, rather than the credit of "Tuhachizao".
It is true that even if the mystery of the earthen stove is solved, it cannot stop the gourmets from making a special trip to it, and the production here also has a good level to match its reputation. The special earthen stove belly wrapped chicken is the restaurant's leading dish. The whole pork belly is stuffed with finely chopped chickens and boiled in a casserole over high heat. The fat rich in belly and chicken is released at high temperature, so that the dishes out of the pot are mellow and yellow, and the meat is tender and the soup is fresh and rich. The braised pig's trotters have a thick sauce and rich color. The large pieces of pig's trotters are wrapped in the crispness of the tendon and the salty flavor of the sauce, which is three points into the flavor and the taste is brilliant.
A large number of Taihu Lake aquatic products and Wangshan wild game have also earned the restaurant a lot of popularity. Taihu white fish, yellow eel, sea bass, and angsting fish are steamed, braised and boiled in soup, each of which can taste the unique taste of the ingredients. Although the price of wild game such as wolf pheasant, wild goose, hare, and old goose is expensive, it can easily win with outstanding taste, and it doesn't hurt to order one or two. The staple food is earthen stove lard and vegetable rice, and the clear lard and vegetable stalks fall into the earthen stove to boil and fry, and the aroma is full of aroma.
The interior of the restaurant is not outstanding, but the exquisite façade with antique plaques and gray brick walls still catches the eye of most people. The indoor environment is bright and tidy, the upstairs landscape is verdant and elegant, and the staff is well-organized and serviced, and the whole dining process can be comfortable and satisfying. The restaurant is located in the Wangshan Scenic Area, and customers who travel by bus can take 552 and 585 routes within a few minutes' walk, and customers arriving by car can simply navigate to the vicinity of the restaurant and park their vehicles in the nearby public parking lot.
