LAO KAI LI

Excellent food , friendly service and it comes with a performance too! Very good recommendation from Trip.com in relation to this restaurant!

A famous local restaurant, it's a chain. The sour soup fish is delicious. Three of us chose a river grouper weighing more than 3 kilograms. There are also other fish to choose from, depending on your preference. There are many local specialties, it's worth a try.

Sour is a very unique taste in Guizhou. In fact, it doesn't taste sour, but delicious and attractive. Lao Kaili Sour Soup Fish is the most famous restaurant in Guiyang. Many local residents also eat here. It is very large, with several floors. The kitchen is open and the live fish are picked, weighed and killed on the spot. There is also a large steamer with several layers. Every dish is very tempting.

On the first day in Guiyang, we went to Lao Kaili for the sour soup fish. The three of us ordered wild Wujiang fish, which was tender and delicious. The sour soup was appetizing and softened the fish meat, making the fish meat more delicious. Following the comments of other foodies, we ordered two dim sum, silk dolls and wine rats. Silk dolls are various shredded vegetables wrapped in dough with dipping sauce, but the dipping sauce is really tasteless and I can't get used to it. Wine rats are rice dumplings with fermented rice wine, which the children like very much.

Lao Kaili sour soup fish comes from the simple Miao diet. Because Guizhou is the gathering place of the Miao people, and Guizhou has a humid climate and ingredients are not easy to preserve, in the long-term life practice, the ancestors invented sour soup, which extended the shelf life of food and gradually developed the habit of making and eating sour soup. The environment of Lao Kaili sour soup fish is also very distinctive, and the layout is very ethnic, allowing diners to fully integrate into the living habits of the Miao people. [Address]: No. 55, Shiban Street, Shengfu Road, Yunyan District, Guiyang (near Guishan Hotel) [Per capita consumption]: 80-100 yuan. We ordered a fish for 68 yuan/jin, and we also need to pay for the sauce. The sauce contains chili, fermented bean curd and chives. We ordered a 2.8-jin fish. Because we were afraid that we couldn't finish it, we didn't dare to order too many other things. We ordered a vegetable for 10 yuan. Compared with other hot pot restaurants, this pot of ingredients is not too expensive and the variety is relatively rich. The cost performance is high. We also ordered a fried tofu. 【Dining environment】: After choosing the fish, I sat quietly in my seat and admired the decoration inside the store. The lights above my head were also very distinctive. The red and yellow lampshades gave people a festive feeling. In addition, the service staff's clothes were special. They all wore the ethnic costumes of the Miao village, with silver ornaments on their heads, shaking and making crisp collision sounds. The store also played songs sung by Miao girls. The atmosphere in the whole store was very strong, and I was also immersed in the ethnic atmosphere. Looking carefully at the promotional photos around, it turned out that the popular singers Leo Ku and Charlene Choi had visited this store to try the taste and took photos with the employees here. The idols have come to eat here, so it can be imagined that the taste here must be good. The more I think about it, the more I look forward to the taste of sour soup fish. I remember a TV program once reported that the secret of the Miao people's longevity is related to eating sour soup. The Miao people have many long-lived people, which is closely related to their hardworking, optimistic, good at singing and dancing, harmonious and helpful living habits. It is also found that almost all the centenarians of the Miao people are sour soup makers and fans. The taste of sour soup is inseparable from almost every meal of the Miao people, and it has penetrated into the hearts of the Miao people.

The taste is quite suitable, very sour and refreshing. The environment is not bad, but the tables and chairs are not antique enough. In addition, the service really needs to be improved. For those of us who are from other places and eat for the first time, we must give some tips. When we ate today, it was served directly without anything. We could only ask questions one by one to find people, and then we knew that we could eat it ten minutes after the water boiled, and then add some sour soup to the ingredients as a dipping sauce. If necessary, you can order some side dishes. The side dishes are served when the fish is almost eaten. I almost forgot to recommend the rice flower candy, which is especially crispy.

I went there very early, the first one to go at noon, around 11 o'clock, there were a lot of people, and there was a queue at 12 o'clock or 1 o'clock. It is recommended not to go too early, otherwise many dishes cannot be prepared. It is enough to go around 11:30. The rose ice jelly is delicious, the silk doll is just an ordinary pancake roll, and the sour soup fish depends on personal taste. I am not particularly accustomed to this taste, but it should be more authentic in the local area. After all, many locals are eating it. You can try it.

The sour soup fish here is more in line with the public's taste. You must try it when you go to Guiyang. You must also order a glutinous rice cake as a snack. The sour soup fish is very generous, and you can choose different fish. The tofu balls are also very special and delicious when eaten with the dipping sauce.
