Ren Ji Lao ShaGuo (ZhongHua Xiang)

To be honest, this is the correct way to enjoy Chongqing cuisine! The Renji casserole dish is characterized by heavy oil and spicy taste, and the spiciness is the key to a good meal! The weather in Chongqing has been a bit fierce recently. It has reached 36 degrees after the beginning of autumn. My friend insisted that I eat bowl after bowl of casserole dishes that would scald people to death. I really didn’t want to, but I couldn’t argue with him, so I had to eat! Needless to say, the taste is amazing. As a restaurant that has been open for more than 20 years, it must have been able to survive to this day without some skills? ! But it is true that eating such a hot dish in this weather is too intense! The most recommended dish is the rotten meat peas, which is really a great way to eat. As long as you are not afraid of getting fat, you can eat as many bowls as you want! There is actually no comment on this old shop. It is really just about eating! Because it is not meal time, there are not too many diners, and it is also the least number of people I have ever seen. The usual business is really crowded, and you have to shout at the top of your throat to call the ladies! But there is something funny. My friend said that this restaurant directly provides each table with a thermos bucket for us to serve rice. Is it to call us "gluttons" [naughty] I smiled but didn't say anything. I guess it's my own guess! Haha

Chongqing is one of the places where hotpot is eaten, so it is a good thing that clay pot can gain a foothold here.

If it weren't for my friend's introduction, I wouldn't have found such an authentic clay pot dish. It's only 20+ per person💰 You'll be stuffed... The food is served quickly and the portions are generous! Every time I eat there, I always finish three bowls of rice🍚 The braised pork with pickled mustard greens🥩 is a must-try! I love the braised pork with a nice balance of fat and lean meat, cooked to a tender, melt-in-your-mouth consistency! The sour pickled greens are refreshing and greasy, and I can't stop eating it with rice; it goes so well with rice~ The baked zucchini in a clay pot🍈 is gigantic! Tender! It has a refreshing sweetness that even my girlfriend, who doesn't usually eat vegetables, is eager to grab a bite. The new potato slices with scallions🥔 are fried to a crispy crisp on the outside~ The inside is still the original soft potato! So fragrant!!! The sour and spicy golden soup with bean curd is simply divine! The bean curd soaked up the broth and had a wonderfully smooth texture. #FoodFestival #RomanticDateRestaurant #DeliciousSnacks #LocalFood #MyMidnightDiner
