As an old Chengdu person, I ate Chenma Caotang first. This flagship store often has a queue. This time I came mainly to bring foreign friends to eat. The environment is very good, with an ancient flavor. There is also guzheng accompaniment on the second floor, which is quite a feeling. The service is also very good. The dishes are really Sichuan cuisine. It is indeed suitable for bringing friends from other places to eat. Foreign friends like it very much.
"Chen Mapo Tofu" is one of the most local specialties in Chinese tofu dishes, and has become a world-famous Sichuan cuisine. This dish has a history of more than 150 years and is the most representative Sichuan cuisine. This dish is characterized by the "burning" method. On the snow-white and tender tofu, brown-red minced beef and green garlic sprouts are dotted, and a circle of translucent red oil is around, like jade inlaid with amber, with a unique flavor of numbing, spicy, hot, tender, crisp, fragrant and fresh.
I came to visit the Sichuan Museum and happened to eat Chen Mapo across the street. This Chen Mapo Tofu is the flagship store. It is very popular and you have to queue up for dozens of people to eat. The environment inside is very good, and the layout is not cramped. It is very comfortable and cozy. Mapo Tofu is of course a must-order. It is indeed authentic. I didn't finish it because it was too spicy. The garlic pork is also highly recommended. It is difficult to eat authentic this dish in other cities. This is good, large in quantity, and tastes good. In fact, what I want to recommend most is the steamed beef with rice flour. There are a lot of sweet potatoes underneath, and the steamed pork with rice flour on top is very oily. The sweet potatoes absorb the oil, so the beef will not be too greasy. In short, it was a good food experience. It was worth waiting in line for half an hour.
Overall review | The minimum consumption of the box is 800, but there is a very real ten-person package (888 yuan), and ten people have leftovers. It can be said that it is very real! The reason why this store is recommended is because old Chengdu also recommends it. He said that after reading Du Fu Caotang, he must try the Chen Mapo tofu next to it, because several Chengdus count it as the most authentic! The location is also good, from the door of Du Fu Caotang Qinghua Road, go to the right, take a few steps, cross the road! Taste | Introduce each dish below. The first is cold dumplings, cold dishes appetizers, also help to solve spicy. After all, most of the dishes are spicy. The second is pig ears, which are crispy and spicy, which is very enjoyable. The third is glutinous rice sweet dumplings, which also helps to solve spicy and refreshing. I like it. There is the sweet fragrance of glutinous rice and the fragrance of glutinous rice. The fourth is a couple's lung. Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that the couple's lungs should have pig lungs, in fact, they are not, they are all meat. I remember that many English translation misunderstandings before, it was still quite funny. Spice is appropriate, delicious! The fifth is garlic mud white meat, almost the meaning of husband and wife lung slices, the taste of Sichuan cuisine, is more garlic, refreshing! I can't eat spicy, I can pass the water, after all, it tastes good. If you can eat spicy, you can eat it directly. The sixth is fried walnuts with bean seedlings, which is also a refreshing dish, which is spicy! The combination of vegetables and walnuts is wonderful. The seventh is the main show, Mapo tofu. It is very good to make a small portion, everyone can taste it, but not everyone has to call rice to match, this is a great point about the design of the amount of dishes. The taste is great, after all, it is a signboard, the name of the store is Chen Mapo tofu. How can you not try the signboard when you enter the store? The eighth is fried shrimp, which is normal operation. The ninth is a dry pot fat intestine, a very authentic dry pot. Although the fat intestines are fat, the individual does not particularly like the things that are too greasy, but the dry pot is just right to oil, which has a different effect. The tenth is the sour soup fat cow. I remember that I often eat Sichuan cuisine. I have some hair blood, sauerkraut fish, etc., and one of them is the sour soup fat cow. The fat cow is delicious, full of sour taste, but it is still a bit spicy. It tastes good. The eleventh one is the pot bar. This one I took is after the performance. In fact, first the plate of the bottom of the pot, then the hot soup and vegetables are poured on it, and the pot is very crispy, crispy and sweet, especially the twelfth road is a big miscellaneous. There is my favorite yellow throat in it, which is half a hair blood. There are beef and so on. This dish is also spicy, it is more troublesome to fish. The thirteenth road is fish. Steamed salmon, spicy and refreshing, added cardamom. The 14th road is a bullfrog. I like it very much, I feel that bullfrogs will be more fat and meat than field chickens. The fifteenth duck soup. Add mushrooms and stew together, strong mellow! The 16th fried beans, very well equipped with wine, the best wine. The 17th meal package is the same as the outside. The 18th, the finishing touch, the clock dumpling, sweet and spicy and strong garlic, can be said to be my favorite! Very delicious, one two dumplings, endless aftertaste! Service | A little bad is not reminding us of the use of chopsticks. The chopsticks are hollow, and you need to put a disposable bamboo chopstick head on. The waiter did not remind you. We thought it was used directly. This point is not particularly satisfactory!
On the way to the Sichuan Museum, I encountered it. The decoration is very retro and the reputation is very good. I found a place to solve the lunch. The signature Mapo tofu, I ate the feeling of being a small Chinese home, it was so delicious! Spicy and fresh, tofu is not old or tender, the family can't make this taste at all, where is the rice? Pot bar meat slices, toppings sweet and sour, toppings have small fungus, tomato, magnolia slices, pea tip. Pot bar crispy, fried just right. This dish is spicy and appetizing, suitable for all ages. Lotus leaf powder steamed meat, I thought it was the cage powder steamed meat with lotus leaf bottom, the result was a lotus leaf cake, a bit fooled. It tastes good, not sweet, it is a bit spicy, I like it. Spit a groove, the meat of the steamed meat and the white garlic mud meat is the same thick and thin, the steamed meat should have to be thicker to eat. Zhong Shuiyu, my favorite Chengdu snack, was boiled. You must like the transparent kitchen.
It was almost lunch time from Nianhuaxi and found that the style of this store was very elegant, so I entered the store to find food. The waiter dresses very eye-catching and the environment is very good. Because I don't eat spicy, as long as I have the dragon in the feature, I also ordered crispy tofu, chicken shredded cold noodles, and Beijing sauce shredded pork. A total of 100 yuan, three girls can't finish eating, wasting 3 handwriting.
The students who settled overseas returned to China to visit their relatives. We recommended a circle of food, but he himself proposed to eat Chen Mapo tofu, and followed him to this flagship store. The business was booming, and I didn't book a private room 3 days in advance. 14 people finally squeezed 10 people's tables by adding stools. Go at 5 pm, and have to queue up at 6 o'clock. I sat down and started to order. I estimated that the fighting power of our 14 people should be very strong. I ordered 14 dishes and 1 soup. Finally, it proved that I was too overestimated my fighting power. At least half of them were not finished. I should be cautious next time. The signature Chen Mapo tofu has only a small pot, but it is late to the table. The red oil is soaked in, and the seasoning reminds me of the instant noodles I ate when I was a child. It is amazing. It is said that the best thing about it is its own special tofu. Anyway, my mother went to the vegetable market to buy a few times, and I couldn't buy such delicious tofu. Crispy skin-wrapped milk tofu is sour and sweet, and the tomato sauce used is used. I thought it was the practice of bear paw tofu, but it was not. The taste is also OK, compared to a table of spicy dishes, this can be adjusted. Bean curd beef willow is very classic, the beef is very tender, the bean curd water slide, and the dumplings, the whole is hemp and spicy, and the weight is sufficient. Tomato three fresh is more like a soup dish, the content is meat slices, tomato slices and tofu strips, or very delicious, drink a bowl. The taste on the tip of the tongue is the size of the basin. A pot is soaked in a pig house. Each piece is surrounded by a pile of green peppers. This is the best to eat. Although the portion is small, it tastes good and is impressive. Mapo fresh pepper fish is actually fish fillets, similar to the way of boiling fish, with a base of vegetarian dishes, tastes very good, full weight. The dry pot is very chicken and a pot of pointed, but don't be scared by the appearance, potatoes are really enough, chicken is slightly less. The taste is very good, but compared with the dishes made with bean curd, it is not so eye-catching. Pepper rabbit Ding is dried fried rabbit meat. Because of the pepper, it has a charming pepper flavour. I guess it is very suitable for wine. I have eaten a lot of husband and wife lungs with chrysanthemum tea. Typical Sichuan cuisine is not bad. Sweet sweets of sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet Crispy loin flower is the most difficult to see in the dish I ordered. It is not the same as the white sorghum, but more like the taste of the square bamboo shoots used in cold. The fried loin flower is tender and delicious, and there is no smell. This is a treasure dish, I will order it next time. Small fried yellow beef, still very delicious, a dish that meets the standard. Lotus leaf powder steamed meat, this is more general, up to the standard. Healthy bone soup, oversized pot, 14 people did not really kill it... I tried to add soup for the second time, but the first pot was not finished. North Sichuan jelly, this tastes good, but ordering it is really drowned out by a big meal. When we were waiting for dinner, there was also a tea show. Every table of the running brother with the super-grown teapot made sure to pour a cup of tea. His tricks were too much. What white cranes spread wings, bright swords, and back swords, I think super fun, haha. 14 dishes and 1 soup plus dry grain, actually 670 yuan, we ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea 68 is really worthless, I knew that drinking soup or a bowl of dragons for one person. However, the per capita is less than 60, and I feel that the price is really high. Parking here is not convenient, the underground parking lot of Nianhuaxi Park opposite can be parked
Today, my friend came to Chengdu, and we walked into the very familiar Chen Mapo tofu Tsinghua Road store. We booked the card seat in advance, otherwise there would be no seats temporarily. I ordered a few favorite dishes: tea duck, back-pot meat, tofu fish, husband and wife lung slices and vegetables and soup. The per capita consumption is 50 yuan, and the friends are very satisfied with the environment and dishes of Chen Mapo's store.
