曾记重庆麻辣烫(原华丰老店)

🍃Environment:
The store is very big. I thought it was a small store before I came, but after I came, I found that I was misled by the name. It is not &quot;small&quot; at all. It is a large store in the entire ancient city. The store is very spacious and clean. Three rows of dining tables are placed to make full use of the space, which can accommodate 50+ guests at the same time. The overall decoration has also been carefully considered. The embellishment of green plants 🎍 flowers and murals ✍️ enhances the beauty of the entire restaurant. Two rows of specialty racks are cleverly hung above the ordering area, and the specialty of the store is hung high, which is clear at a glance. The two calligraphy books on the back wall add some humanistic atmosphere to the store. The food preparation area is adjacent to the ordering area, and you can see the whole process of the store clerk 🧑&zwj;🍳 preparing the food. It is clean and reliable.

🍴Taste:
The best meal combination here is 1 big bowl of jelly + 1 meat sandwich + 1 bottle of sea buckthorn juice, which basically covers all the characteristics of the store. The jelly is generous in portion, soft but not falling apart, paired with lotus beans, dried tofu and smoked eggs🥚, and topped with a secret spicy sauce, it is delicious; the Roujiamo bread is not thick, and the ratio of noodles to meat is just right; Sea buckthorn juice🍹 is a local specialty drink in Datong, tasting like juice, sour, refreshing and greasy.

💁Service:
During the peak season of holidays, there are many customers, but the staff takes care of them in an orderly manner, and they are very efficient in cleaning the table and serving the dishes. The boss🧑&zwj;💼 is very friendly, and he will introduce us to interesting places and delicious specialties in the ancient city in his spare time, which is very nice.

📍Location &amp; Transportation: This store is located in the core area of ​​Datong Ancient City, very close to the Nine Dragon Wall, Drum Tower and some popular online stores. It is very convenient to take the bus🚌 or drive. If you drive🚗, you can consider parking at the Nine Dragon Wall parking lot🅿️ and walk🚶 over. It is still easy to park in the ancient city during non-holidays.

The navigation led us to Fengling Pavilion next to Huayan Temple. Perhaps because it was winter, there were fewer people and no need to queue. The copper hot pot we ordered was more suitable for the general public&#39;s taste. The yellow millet cake was surprisingly delicious. The overall decoration was nice, with the feel of a miniature royal courtyard. What I want to write the most about is the service staff. They were warm, friendly, and attentive, yet still had a good sense of propriety, which made us feel very comfortable.

October 7, the last day of the National Day holiday, there were relatively few people. The holiday was connected at noon and in the evening. I took a number at 4:30. There were not many people in front. I waited for more than a dozen tables in an hour. I went shopping. Because I had eaten at the opposite side at noon, I didn&rsquo;t order the repeated dishes in the evening. I ordered some dishes that were not available. Overall, it was okay, not amazing.

[Service]
Although there were many people, the service was not affected at all. The enthusiastic girl was always helping. She also gave three bottles of vinegar when I checked in.

💯Wangfu secret chicken, this is average, nothing special
💯Old soup rabbit head, except spicy, nothing special
💯Fragrant fried Datong fresh yellow flower, a little salty
💯💯💯Cheese oatmeal eggplant box, my mother and I love it very much, sweet.

【Service】Come to get a number at around 9am, so you can eat in the first wave after the meal starts. However, I didn&#39;t arrive at 10:30, and when I arrived at 10:45, my number had already passed. Fortunately, the service was flexible and arranged a shared table. Four groups of 2-3 people were arranged for a large table in the private room. The old lady at home thought this arrangement was quite interesting. The service of the lady in the private room was also very good, and she didn&#39;t delay the serving of dishes and refilling of water. Thumbs up for the flexible service.

【Taste】
If you can only choose one from the opposite side. I recommend this restaurant. Every dish is delicious.
💯💯Yellow rice jelly, delicious. Even my dad who doesn&#39;t like sweets ate half of it.
💯💯Signature eggplant, the caramel part is a bit sticky, but overall it&#39;s good.
💯💯💯Hunyuan jelly (large portion)^, my mom made it, refreshing and not greasy, not spicy at all.
💯💯Sand scallion oil splashed oat noodles, my favorite, delicious.
💯💯Dufu chopping board lamb chops, although the wait time is a bit long, but it&#39;s worth it, grilled just right.

Environment: The place has a classic, antique feel, but it&#39;s crowded, a bit hot, and a little chaotic. You order first and then pick up your food yourself according to your number; the service is quite fast.

Taste: The classic Liangfen (cold mung bean jelly) is 12 yuan. Now I understand why it&#39;s called &quot;drinking Liangfen&quot; in Shanxi&mdash;it&#39;s a large block that you have to cut out yourself to eat. It&#39;s similar to Liangfen made by mixing hot water; it doesn&#39;t have much flavor on its own, relying mainly on the aroma of chili oil and the broth. It comes with dried tofu, dried broad beans, and an egg. Actually, I think it would taste better without them, especially since I don&#39;t like the dried broad beans.

The classic Fenpi (rice noodle sheet) is also 12 yuan. It&#39;s smoother than Liangfen and is similar to Liangfen in many other places. The other side dishes are the same.

The roujiamo (meat sandwich) is 8 yuan. In Shaanxi, it&#39;s called Roujiamo, and in northern Shanxi, it&#39;s called Jiaroubing&mdash;the meaning is the same. The meat inside is very fragrant but a bit salty. The bread itself is a bit lacking; it feels like it was repeatedly baked and made too dry.

The restaurant of Datong Huamao Hotel is downstairs. I didn&#39;t expect the hotel I stayed in today was so high-end, it is definitely a landmark building in the city. Unfortunately, the special room can only be arranged in the annex building on the 5th floor, which was a false alarm. It is located outside the west gate of the ancient city, which is very convenient for visiting the ancient city.
