Left Bank shopping street
Located on the left bank of Jinji Lake, the left bank of the commercial street is the center of the Suzhou Industrial Park, which is busy with business and a large number of young white-collar workers. Walking on the street, although it is not as lively as Guanqian Street, there is no shortage of food from all walks of life.
Thumb lobster
Thumb Lobster is a well-known crayfish chain restaurant in Suzhou. It uses local crayfish in Jiangsu, and a batch of crayfish arrives every day during the peak season. The thumb adheres to the operation of manual brushing, cutting hair, removing the shrimp stomach, and removing the shrimp line. In addition to the chilled taste, other crayfish will be simply fried once, which is also the reason why the shell of thumb crayfish is generally crispy, and it is easy to peel the shrimp. In the past, the iced crayfish was soaked and chilled with whole crayfish, but now the thumb may be processed uniformly to improve efficiency, and the crayfish is also cut head, shrimp tail, and shrimp line, which is relatively rare. There are 6 types of crayfish flavors in the restaurant: garlic, thirteen spices, salt and pepper, spicy, chilled, and flamed. The first 4 types are ordered according to the specifications and portions mentioned in the previous paragraph, and the price is the same. The ice and flame only have the specifications of the best and the royal products, and only 2 catties / serving are optional, and the price will be more expensive than the other four.
Rich skewers
If the production is stable, clean and hygienic, Fengmao skewers are definitely the safest choice for Suzhou barbecue. The reason for its success is due to the high level of attention paid to the quality of ingredients and user experience. The practice of building its own sheep ranch, developing its own electric grill, formulating a standardized skewer process, and cultivating the skewer technology of store staff are the open secrets of Fengmao. Now wear mutton skewers, mutton skewers and grilled lamb chops, the meat is fragrant and full, fresh and tender, and the advantages of the ingredients are self-evident. The consistent beef, pig and poultry products are also a testimony of Fengmao's strength, and the high-quality steak skewers are thick and even, and the taste is solid; The pork belly skewers are tough and crispy, and the oil is fragrant in the mouth; The spicy chicken claw bones are crispy and flavorful, fresh and spicy, and there are few minefields. Unfortunately, the restaurant business is too hot, and it is not enough to eat, so it is recommended to go to the wrong peak.
Da Long Yi
Da Long Yi is an authentic Sichuan-style hot pot from Chengdu. It does not improve the taste of the bottom of the pot in order to cater to the local tastes, and only partially reduces the spiciness and numbness, so the taste of Suzhou is not much different from that of Chengdu. In addition to Pixian bean paste, a variety of spices, a lot of Erjingtiao chili peppers are added to the bottom of Dalongyi's red soup pot, although the spiciness of Erjingtiao is not as good as Chaotian pepper and Mantianxing, but the color is red and bright, and the pepper fragrance is strong, which is also a reason why many customers feel that Dalongyi's spicy taste is stronger. However, for Suzhou diners, the pure taste of the red soup pot may be too heavy, it is recommended to order a slightly spicy one, if you want to alleviate the spicy taste, you can also choose two types of pot bottoms: mushroom soup mandarin duck or tomato mandarin duck.
Naughty Beer
Naughty Beer is the largest chain of craft beer bottle stores in Suzhou, offering more than 100 craft bottle beers and six draft beers, six of which are mediocre, with industrial lagers such as Corona and Fujia White. Ayer Apothecary's Saharin Wild Mushroom Al is one of the more niche high-quality bottle beers in the store, which has a unique flavor due to the addition of lactic acid bacteria. This wine has a creamy yellow color and a slightly cloudy appearance. Its aroma is rich in layers, and the flavors of mold, wild mushrooms, and plum are intertwined. The thick body of the wine is very dense in the mouth, and a hint of sweetness is replaced by acidity after passing the tip of the tongue, and various fruit acids are mixed with lactic acid bacteria. The aftertaste is still mainly sweet and sour, with a hint of astringency.
Sheep shrimp will
Shrimp in the summer and sheep in the winter, shrimp and sheep are regulars on the supper menu. Lamb shrimp will be a catering shop specializing in crayfish. The crayfish from Xuyi are first placed in a sink to spit out a certain amount of sediment, then washed and finally put back into clean water until the chef takes them out for cooking. The chef's signature dish, the top-of-the-line chilled lobster, is the chef's specialty, and the cooked crayfish is served in a secret soup sauce for at least 3 hours, with ice cubes that make the shrimp very firm. Although the combination of dry ice and ice cubes may be a little cheesy, the above-standard performance of the dish is still worthy of recognition.
Left and right courts
Jiangnan people's understanding of beef hot pot basically comes from the popularity of Chaoshan restaurants in recent years, and the left and right courtyards are a beef hot pot brand. Its beef supply chain has certain advantages, and it has its own set of standard processes in the several steps of calf acquisition, breeding, processing, distribution and store sales. In addition to the traditional taste of beef bone soup pot, there are also secret beef offal pot, Bama spring water pot, beef bone tomato and mandarin duck pot, fresh beef offal mandarin duck pot, and special beef brisket and mandarin duck pot to choose from. One of the fresh beef and mandarin duck pots is developed by the head chef and is officially suitable for all people, but we recommend new diners to try the traditional taste, and drink a bowl of beef bone soup with a little celery before shabu-shabu, which is both appetizing and satisfies a kind of "Chaoshan ritual". The soup base in the left and right courtyards is full of umami, but the use of too much MSG can easily make diners feel thirsty. It should be mentioned that this Suzhou center store in the left and right courtyards is only open until 10 o'clock in the evening, so night owl diners must pay attention to the time.
