Mingting Hotel is a fly restaurant in the true sense of the word. Like many roadside restaurants, Ming Ting was just a small restaurant run by husband and wife at the beginning, and opened a store just to make ends meet. Mingting has a history of more than 20 years, and it is the choice of locals to go to the restaurant, and the people coming and going on the street do not affect the diners who crowd into the small area to eat.
Mingting's dishes are mostly home-cooked, but because the restaurant is more intense, the taste after cooking is often much more flavorful than that cooked at home. Although it is a fly restaurant, Mingting has been standing for many years and has her own own dishes. The tofu brain flower dish, which combines brain flower and tofu, is quite similar in appearance to mapo tofu, but this dish actually tests the chef's cooking skills more than ordinary mapo tofu. Brain flower is the most taboo smell, and Ming Ting is to water the brain flower and tofu, remove the smell of brain flower and the fishy smell of tofu, drain the water, fry in oil over high heat, add Pixian bean paste, chili, pepper, spicy sauce and other seasonings, and put in chicken fat to ensure the freshness of brain flower and tofu, on this dish of tofu brain flower needs to be thickened three times, and the heat is different, it needs to be fried over high heat, and then changed to medium heat, low heat to collect juice. This is Mingting's main dish. Lotus leaf sauce meat is also featured, the sauce meat is wrapped in lotus leaves, the sauce meat maintains a red and bright color, fragrant and fragrant, and it tastes fat but not greasy.
Mingting, who is hidden in the alley, has now expanded her store and can provide more than 50 tables, even so, this small shop that has long been out of Caojia Lane is still overcrowded, and you can't help but wait in line or share a table when you go to eat. The service is mostly for elderly aunts, and the hands and feet are quite sharp, as a fly restaurant, the service can not be demanding.
Now Chengdu has been renovating the old city one after another, and the market in Caojiaxiang has also been included in the scope of rectification, and Mingting Hotel may also face relocation or redecoration.
