Yaoji Chaogan Restaurant （Gulou） Review

From Houhai, I went straight to the old brand along the small road. The navigation was still easier to find. It was on the side of the road. The door was also eye-catching and there were stories. After ordering the food, I went to serve it myself. There are not many people, but I want to have a taste, even the bean juice that I have not dared to order has also come. Fried liver and our side of the soup with the same feeling, is to use more internal organs, soup sticky hanging throat, eating without chopsticks without spoon, but hand holding the bottom of the bowl, lifting to the mouth to suck and drink. The dishes are still good, that is, the bean juice can't be controlled, I didn't dare to come to two, and the focal circle is fine. The fried noodles are relatively light and refreshing, the noodles are smooth and smooth, and the overall gentle entrance with cucumbers. The restaurant environment in old Beijing feels similar, and they are more pragmatic and not fancy. Looking at the surrounding uncle, the aunt slowly drank fried liver, we also experienced it in detail, just like the old street of Macau, the uncle and aunt ordered a cup of milk tea and the next pineapple bag, every place has local characteristics.

The Bell and Drum Tower is open. Today, I came to the building to watch the scenery. After I came down, I caught up with the meal and just ate this Yao Ji. The location can be said to be under the root of the Drum Tower wall. It is the blessing of the imperial city. The store’s propaganda slogan is “If you want to eat fried liver, the Drum Tower will turn around.” Yao Ji's signature is very famous. It is naturally appeared after paying more attention to the controversy. There are good things and bad things. I think it is actually OK. The main reason for the ups and downs of the word of mouth is that the level is unstable. Compared with today, I eat four pork onion buns, three are one drawer, one is another drawer, The taste is not the same, the first three are good, the latter one is slightly worse. The same is true for fried livers. I have eaten a few times. Sometimes it is thick and sometimes thin. It is not good to see luck. However, this bowl of fried livers is good today, the ingredients are sufficient, the consistency is right, the taste is authentic, the price of 18 yuan is matched with this amount. It is normal in various old-fashioned fried liver stores. To be honest, the bean juice is not good, it is too thin, it may be to adapt to the taste of foreign tourists, but this is at most soy milk compared to traditional bean juice.

A hundred-year history to see Tianjin, a thousand-year history to see Beijing - summer, the 12th day of the storm to Beijing 14-Yao Ji fried liver 5 popularity is very strong, always so many people, very crowded. It is best to go together, one person goes to the queue to buy, the other is responsible for finding a seat, occupy a seat, otherwise it may wait for a long time to sit down to eat. It is not that old Beijingers have some things that are not used to eating. Even if you order food, you are likely to eat two, and you will not eat it. For example, bean juice, the two women opposite me are like this, and they didn't drink a mouthful, and they didn't want to drink it if they smelled it.

We went to Liuyin Street, where we used to live, when the father's unit allocated a house in the large yard on the north side of the campus of the 13th Middle School today, which is part of the Qingwang Mansion, which is estimated to be the place where the housekeepers live, and the side door is facing the Prince Gong Mansion. After watching Liuyin Street, he continued to bring his father to his long-lost Yao Ji fried liver, a small bowl of fried liver, a braised boiled fire, three buns, a plate of drying cucumber, a plate of fried enema. Sleeves, neck stretched, big mouth, big fast. Fried liver and buns will not say, this is the signature of Yao Ji, only said that this braised boiling fire. From the perspective of modern human health, braised cooking does not meet this trend, and only exists in Beijing and limited surrounding areas, regardless of taste or material, it is difficult to impress the deep accumulation of food in the south, especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang. In the eyes of Beijingers, Yao Ji, Xiaochang Chen, Beixinqiao are the most authentic "pig sewer" snack bars, and a door frame alley has risen in the past few years. And attractions such as Qianmen Dashilan Wangfujing Luguxiang along the street of the braised boiling shop, no matter how eye-catching the store label, the old Beijingers will never enter, even when they walk to the door, they frown. The so-called braised boiling fire is simply to cut the fried tofu, fire spoon into a wedge-shaped block, and then pour into the long-term boiling of the strong fragrant raw soup, so that the small intestine and pig lungs like a sponge to suck the juice, creating a unique taste. Braised boiling fire, pay attention to the taste is thick but not greasy. (It can't be greasy at all, but with the green mouth greasy drying cucumber or mustard pier will greatly improve the uncomfortable taste.) Fire, pay attention to the transparent but not sticky, soaked by the thick old soup, taste but can not have tenacity, so-called non-stick mouth, non-stick teeth. Small intestine, pay attention to fat but not greasy, the entrance smooth and instant, chewing teeth and cheeks left incense.

Yao Ji fried liver shop is very famous in Beijing, and it is also one of the specialty snacks in Beijing. It should open a lot of chain stores in Beijing. I don't know if it has a century-old history. Anyway, I heard from Beijingers that it is an old brand. This Yaoji fried liver shop is near Gulou Street in Dongcheng District, just next to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. It feels right under the building. The store is decorated in an antique style and a bit old-fashioned. There is always a long queue at the door. The first time you eat fried liver, you may not be able to stand it. I didn't come for the second time. Old Beijingers are used to eating this taste, and foreigners really can't. Have time to come and see

The taste is not bad, the taste is suitable for the masses and most people can accept it.
