LAO CHANG SPRING PANCAKE

Harbin has seen a big drop in temperature, minus 20 degrees, colder than the snow town, so I quickly ordered takeout. I eat Laochang spring pancakes every time I come to Harbin. This time I ordered the Beijing-style shredded pork set meal, which definitely exceeded my expectations. The spring pancakes are rolled and individually wrapped, and the chopped green onion, egg, shredded potato, shredded pork, scallion strips, and coriander in the rolls are all cooked to perfection. The sauce can be put in less, it is salty enough, and the millet porridge warms the stomach. Overall, it is highly recommended

This is a time-honored spring pancake shop with many branches in Harbin. There are two kinds of pancakes, gluten pancakes and spring pancakes. The gluten pancakes are thin but not broken, while the spring pancakes are thick but not hard. Spring pancakes are rolled with shredded pork in Beijing sauce, tender fried eggs, shredded potatoes and other stir-fried vegetables. The aroma is overflowing when you take a bite. The dishes are large in quantity, affordable in price, and the service is attentive and the dishes are served quickly.

I came here to eat twice, ten years later, and the food tasted good. The vegetable prices in Northeast China are still very cheap. I personally feel it is very good. The only difference is that Lao Chang Spring Pancakes is not as popular as before, and there are not as many people as before.

[Food * Theme * Experience] Harbin Central Street Laochang Spring Pancake. When I passed by, it showed closed, but when I returned, it was still closed. I went inside to have a look, and found it was packed; the price-performance ratio was high, and the food was comfortable; the waiter who took the order was so quick that I was confused; I left quickly after eating, and saw that there were 40 or 50 guests waiting outside. If I had entered later, I would have become one of them; there were many people in the hall, it was very chaotic, but there was a good taste and feeling; there were also many service staff, but they were well organized.

It was already evening when we arrived in Harbin on the first day, and we were ready for a midnight snack. We happened to arrive there and it was still open. The Central Street store is on the basement floor. Based on recommendations from netizens and the waiter, four of us ordered eight sets of 16 pieces of gluten cakes, tender scrambled eggs, stir-fried mixed vegetables, Beijing-style pork shreds, cabbage vermicelli, corn paste, and Harbin beer. I was very puzzled by the comment that the portions were small. Dear southerners, you must be prepared. The first characteristic of Northeastern cuisine is that it is so generous that you can never finish it... Even though the gluten cakes are very delicious... Fortunately, the bacon was out at the time...

As a person from Northeast China, I was very confused after reading the comments. How could 2 pancakes be enough? The main reason was that the fish-flavored pork shreds I ordered were too salty. I ordered 12 pancakes and there were leftovers. My husband didn't ask clearly and ordered a spring roll seasoning for 10 yuan, which was not worth it at all. The service desk didn't tell me that the fish-flavored pork shreds were for spring rolls. Who was going to be killed by the saltiness? I ordered a soup that I had never eaten before. It tasted like French fries. This is not the best spring roll I have ever eaten.

I really recommend the tender scrambled eggs here, which taste great when rolled in a pancake! The bacon tastes great! I think the pancakes are a little expensive, and I personally recommend not ordering gluten pancakes, which are not cost-effective, super thin, and hard to get full. I also recommend the duck rack tofu soup, which is very light and delicious, and is a very good soup dish! The environment is very comfortable, the waiter's attitude is also very good, and it is a time-honored brand, it is worth a try!

In Northeast China, Laochang spring pancakes are still easy to find. There are many shops in my hometown Changchun. Later, I searched on Baidu and found that Laochang Food originated in Changchun, not Harbin. But I also ate Laochang spring pancakes on Central Street, just for fun. There are two types of spring pancakes and tendon pancakes to choose from. I don’t like tendon pancakes very much because I think they are too oily and thin, and not satisfying enough. Among the rolls, I must order spicy shredded pork every time. The spicy shredded pork here is separated from the pepper and the pork. The pepper is fried, not spicy, and very fragrant. The spicy shredded pork can be eaten by babies. Stir-fried mixed vegetables, stir-fried bean sprouts, and scrambled eggs are also very suitable for rolls. There are also Laochang’s homemade smoked sauce series such as intestines, tripe, and smoked meat, which are all delicious. And the amount of food is not small, very affordable. Except for the relatively expensive pancakes, the prices of other dishes are moderate.
