西单大叔I can't help wanting to eat Xiaochang Chen again——
To be honest, it's not easy to eat authentic braised pork and fire-baked bread now. Although there are many braised pork restaurants, most people don't want to eat it again after eating it once. Xiaochang Chen is quite famous. It's an old restaurant with many stories. I haven't been to other restaurants, but I love to come to this one on Nanheng Street. The braised pork here is always good, at least I can't find any faults. It's good in every aspect, but there are too many people. It's not easy to eat in the restaurant. Sometimes I will order their takeaway, but the braised pork is only fragrant when it's just out of the pot. The takeaway tastes much worse, so I really can't help it and have to eat in the restaurant.
It opens at 10:30 in the afternoon. I arrived at 10:25 today, but at this time, there were already several tables in the restaurant. The waiter said that we had to wait until 10:30 to order dishes, so everyone was eager to try it while looking at the watch. When the time came, they immediately rushed to the front desk to start queuing. This restaurant gives you a receipt after you order the dishes. The stewed dishes, cold dishes, and hot dishes are separated. You have to queue up and wait for the stewed dishes to be cut, and the cold dishes are served at the front desk. You have to wait for the hot dishes to be served at the front desk. This is the rule of state-owned restaurants in the early years. The disadvantages are very obvious. You have to queue up to order dishes, queue up to wait for stewed dishes, and run to the front desk to get hot dishes when your number is called. As a result, the restaurant is always in a state of coming and going and bustling. In fact, there are only about 20 tables in the restaurant, and they are all full and there are not many people, but it is always messy. I don’t know why it can’t be changed. How much trouble can it take to let the waiter serve the dishes? Isn’t it better than letting the customers run around the store by themselves? And the stewed dishes in their restaurant are not big. Many people carry them around, spilling soup all the way, and the floor is full of oil. Aren’t they afraid of trouble? I really hope it can be changed. It really affects the overall environment. If the business is good, we have to find ways to improve the customer experience, which is also for the store’s own business to be better, right?
Today, as usual, I ordered two fire-baked stewed dishes. In addition, other dishes of this restaurant are also very good, such as mustard pile and mixed radish skin in cold dishes, dry fried meatballs and spicy tofu in hot dishes, fried sausage and fried crunchy in snacks. These are all dishes that I always like to order. Today, I ordered fried sausage and mustard pile. The stewed dishes are waiting to be cut, and you can add garlic juice, chili oil and coriander yourself. You need to add more garlic juice to enhance the flavor and suppress the smell of internal organs; you can also add more chili oil, which is not spicy and very fragrant; I also added more coriander, I love coriander. The stewed dishes are still the same, there is no problem, everything is cooked to the right degree, the most difficult to cook biscuits are very soft and the seasoning is relatively light. If there are chives and fermented tofu, I will definitely add some. Today's fried sausage is a bit of a failure, not as good as the previous ones, mainly because the heat is a bit bad. I know that the heat is too high when I eat the first piece. The inside is soft, and the skin is a bit hard. The mustard pile is two rolls, which is just enough for one person. There is a layer of mustard on the bottom. Today's taste lacks some sweet and sour taste, and the taste is a bit dry, probably because it has been stored for a long time. The three items cost a total of 75 yuan. I spend this much money on a stewed pork. I feel that stewed pork is becoming more and more unaffordable.

It is said to be the head office of Xiaochang Chen. As soon as you enter the store, you will see the sign of the first Beijing Luzhu restaurant. The wall displays the introduction of the Little Great Wall brand. The store is not very large, and the tables are mainly small tables. You order at the counter. You line up with the receipt to pick up the Luzhu and Huoshao. You can take the cold dishes directly at the counter. You can wait for the number to be called before taking the hot dishes at the counter. There was a queue at the counter when I arrived at the store at 11 o'clock. At 11:30, there were many people waiting for the table. Fortunately, the waitress in the store was very diligent and cleared the tables in time, so the queue was not too long. Today, I ordered Luzhu and fried sausage. Luzhu is definitely the signature of Xiaochang Chen. The taste is really good, but it is not cooked enough, especially the sesame cake is a bit hard. The fried sausage is quite large. I feel that people with small appetites will be full with such a sausage. The taste is not bad. The slices are relatively thick, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I have eaten so many sausages in Beijing, and this one should be ranked first. Luzhu Huoshao and sausage are both snacks. They used to be eaten for fun and were cheap, not worth much money. But now a Huoshao and sausage cost more than 50 yuan, and snacks are almost unaffordable. And the original snacks in my memory tasted authentic, and now I feel that there are not many authentic ones.
If you want to buy a Niu electric bike, you should come to this Xiaochangchen restaurant and order two bowls of offal and a few dishes of common side dishes. I never thought that after not coming here for more than ten years, the old soup in front of me has become much lighter than it was back then. My friend asked, what is this food? I said, this is stewed pork with fire. However, my friend said that compared with the stewed pig intestines that the old society loved the most, he liked the boiled pork with fire more.
Located on Nanheng Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, Beijing Xiaochang Chen Restaurant has convenient transportation and can be reached by bus or subway. Xiaochang Chen is also a famous snack. Although the environment is very ordinary, what you eat is the taste, not the high-end environment!
"Xiaochang Chen Restaurant" (Nanheng Street Store), the best braised pork in Beijing. {Environment} The store is not big, clean and bright. The kitchen is bright and the stove is heated on a low fire. The ingredients for braised pork are bubbling in the big pot: small intestines, pig lungs, chicken sauce tofu, and sesame cakes. To be honest, as soon as you walk into the store, you can smell the faint smell of pig offal. It makes sense when you think about it, after all, you are walking into the world of pig offal. {Braised pork} Seasoning: chili, minced garlic, chopped coriander, vinegar, unlimited supply. Take a bite of the small intestine without any seasoning, only salty, no peculiar smell, soft and chewy, chew a few times, the fat fragrance begins to overflow, and the aftertaste is long. The more you chew, the more fragrant it is, and the more you eat, the more you want to eat. Unfortunately, there are not many small intestines in a small bowl of braised pork. The pig lung has a soft texture and seems to have a slight bad smell. The soup tastes salty. [Evaluation] Luzhu is delicious but not greedy, 26 yuan for a small bowl, 1 yuan for a sesame seed cake, small quantity and high price, not cost-effective. Personally, I feel that as a time-honored Chinese brand, today "Xiaochang Chen"'s Luzhu has become a popular snack for gourmets and tourists.
"Luzhu Huoshao" is the signature dish of this restaurant, and it is also the reason why everyone comes to Xiaochangchen, because of the long history of Luzhu Huoshao, the old soup is bubbling, and diners come and start ordering things according to their needs. "1 base 2 Huoshao" means ordering several bases and several Huoshao. The base is the intestines, lungs, and tofu we eat. Generally, it is the same base, and the Huoshao depends on your needs. Personally, I think 2 is more suitable for boys. "Corncoated cucumber" goes well with Luzhu, the stewed soup is strong and the refreshing cucumber is just right. "Smacking tofu" is a traditional snack in Old Beijing, and it tastes very fragrant. "Scorched meatballs" taste very good, the skin is burnt and fragrant, and it is delicious wrapped in soup. [Mint] Environment: General, the feeling of an old brand, go at 1:30 in the afternoon, and there is a waiting seat. [Service bell] Service: Order at the front desk, pick up the Luzhu by yourself, and other dishes are also ready and called at the front desk
