DING AUNT

The environment of the small shop is quite clean. The service of the boss and the waiter is very good and enthusiastic. This pan is so delicious. I highly recommend the beef with skin, tendon, stinky tofu, potato cake, and fruit ice jelly (because it is very fragrant with sesame seeds. I have eaten ice jelly in the snack street several times later, but it is not as delicious as this one). These are all recommended by the store and the taste is very fragrant. It is worth mentioning that the homemade chili in the store is the best chili I have ever eaten after staying in Guizhou for almost a week. I also bought two bottles from the boss and they tasted great. It beats all the night market snack streets I ordered a bowl of fruit ice jelly, and the boss took the initiative to send us a bowl of original ice jelly, which was a surprise. Comments from tourists in Hainan

The ingredients of Laoshi are not only wild game and vegetables, but also local specialties such as tofu and stinky tofu, and they should be dipped in a five-spice chili powder saucer when eating. After the reform and opening up, Laoguo appeared on the streets of Shuicheng in the form of street stalls. Later, people changed the convex black sand pot into a flat-bottomed cast iron pot with edges, and heated it on a gas stove. After 1992, Shuicheng Laoguo moved into the store for the first time, and soon formed a Laoguo food street. At this time, everything was Laoguo - seafood, poultry, chicken, duck, cattle, sheep, wild vegetables and other meat and vegetable ingredients were all put into the pot, and the dipping sauce was much more than the original single five-spice chili powder dipping sauce, such as spicy water for the root of the radish, roasted green pepper dipping sauce, five-spice chili powder, etc.

This restaurant has been open for many years. The taste is very good. I recommend the potato cake and stinky tofu.

Aunt Ding's is a time-honored brand. Whenever I want to eat hotpot, I go there. The stinky tofu and potato cakes are amazing.
