A MAO RESTAURANT

I have a rest today and have to go to work again tomorrow, so I came to Amao Restaurant with my friends to have dinner in the evening. The grilled wings tasted very good today, I give it a thumbs up.

Overall, I am very satisfied. The dishes here are very tasty and go well with rice. I ordered a few dishes and they were all delicious. The vegetables were refreshing and the chicken was tender and meaty. I will try other dishes next time.

Vietnamese cuisine is a food culture originating from Vietnam and has a distinct Southeast Asian style. Traditional cooking techniques include stewing, cold dressing, grilling and frying, and adding a large number of vegetables. The taste is sour, spicy, sweet and fresh. Fish sauce, soy sauce and chutney are often used for seasoning.

They are all home-cooked dishes with Ningbo flavor. The so-called Ningbo people like salty food, which is clearly reflected here. The most representative one is the "steamed cuttlefish eggs with white crab", which is said to be a specialty dish that has been made for nearly 20 years. Dry pot roasted mixed seafood is also my personal favorite. The seafood is roasted dry, salty and fresh. The third floor of the restaurant includes a small and fresh hall and various private rooms named after dynasties with different styles, allowing you to travel through different eras.

Amao Restaurant (Cultural Plaza Branch) is located at Building 4, Cultural Plaza, No. 1999, Zhongshan East Road, Jiangdong District. A well-known local restaurant, it has slowly changed its style and is famous for its affordability. It also provides employee meals to nearby merchants at noon, so the quality of the dishes can only be said to be average. Recently, the business has been very hot, and the word "good" cannot be described. There are a lot of people waiting for tables at the door every day. Now you have to find a table by yourself and then order dishes. Friends who don't have an empty table can only rely on their eyes. In case you choose to wait and eat very slowly, hahaha, congratulations, you have lost weight. The area is quite large, and there are two floors with N areas. It is said that there are really many people who like to eat here. The order is at the entrance. The old-fashioned ordering method is to look at the actual product and place an order. After ordering, it comes up one after another. The best two hairy crabs are indeed a bit slow, and I urged them several times. Salted live shrimp, RMB 38, it is considered fresh, this price is a food stall Beef vermicelli pot, RMB 38, a large portion, but the taste is really bad, not to mention the tastelessness, the ingredients are also "average", this level, drunk. Steamed egg with minced meat, RMB 18, affordable, large quantity, taste is so-so, eat until full. Ark shell, RMB 28, the price is still cheap, the quantity seems to be a little less. Stir-fried yam with black fungus, RMB 18, children eat, so-so. Hairy crab, RMB 28, finally packed, originally dine-in still has some taste. . . In general, the famous restaurant has basically become a food stall, affordable is affordable, but the taste of the dishes is a bit worse than before, after all, they are used to making employee meals, and sacrifice some quality for the speed of serving dishes, or maybe I have too high expectations of them.

I have been eyeing this restaurant for a long time. I heard that it is a small restaurant that makes people feel happy like going home for dinner. The facade is low-key. It really looks like a hidden alley shop or treasure canteen. However, probably because of the off-season fishing moratorium, I felt bad when I walked in. The store was deserted and the aunt was indifferent. She didn't want to introduce the dishes when I ordered them. Roasted vegetables are not in season. I ordered kaodaidou. Eel shreds with fried bean paste, passed. The addition of leeks, bean sprouts, and bean paste made this heavy and greasy dish refreshing instantly. The hot oil stimulated the aroma of white pepper and it was very good with rice. Sweet and sour spare ribs, the sauce was thin and the vinegar taste was too weak. It became a layer of "soup with oil floating" at the bottom of the plate. I guess it was a mistake that day. Taro spare ribs, Fenghua taro and spare ribs were stewed together until they were sticky and sticky. The meat aroma was completely infiltrated into the taro paste. Occasionally, I bit into the crispy and fragrant lard residue. (Affordable Yongfu oil residue taro soup! And Ningbo cuisine really loves white pepper and thickening White crab fried rice cake, Ningbo rice cake are all fried well. They can always control the best taste. Soft, smooth, elastic, not sticky or burnt Although I know that crabs at this price must be frozen, but the crab meat has become slightly sour. In the end, I can only abandon the crab and eat the rice cake The local friends who crazily recommended this store also think that the quality is not as good as before. You can see the obvious difference by comparing the photos. It’s a pity... I really don’t want the old store to end in legend

The small building in the Cultural Square is his, with a total of 4 floors, which is quite domineering. When we arrived, there were already quite a few customers eating, which is rare in such a deserted place as the Cultural Square. The first floor is for ordering dishes, a bit like an old grandmother. The second floor has scattered seats and private rooms. The third and fourth floors are private rooms. The private rooms here are named after dynasties. Our private rooms are named after the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The decoration also took some thought. The cement wall was made into some patterns when the wall was built. The walls and ceilings were decorated with various decorations in different styles. It's dazzling. The dining table and chairs are highly saturated red, bright and colorful, and are matched with small fresh Japanese-style tableware. There are many varieties of dishes, and the prices are very affordable. It's no wonder that there are so many customers following the route of the grandmother's house. The appetizer kelp is a little sour, the kelp is good, and the price of 3 yuan a plate, the boss will lose money The secret crab is an authentic Ningbo dish. I haven't eaten it for a long time. It tastes very familiar. Ningbo roasted food, roasted well, is also a representative of Ningbo cuisine Big roasted squid, the squid is very tender and tastes good Smoked fish, the fish meat is good, but too sweet Pickled radish, very crispy, tastes good, but also too sweet Celery seafood soup, a lighter soup Stir-fried okra, the okra looks a bit old, but tastes okay, a healthy dish Russin crab, made with white crab, potatoes, and tomatoes, the potatoes are too hard and not cooked soft, the taste is average White crab steamed fish eggs, this dish must be served with rice, the rice hammer is salty and fresh, Of course it is very salty if eaten alone Dry pot roasted assorted seafood, I have eaten something similar before at the old grandmother fishing village, but the method is a little different, clams, round clams, razor clams, small crabs, and mantis shrimps are roasted in a dry pot, which retains the freshness, but is a little salty, and the salt is not dissolved Snail roasted chicken feet, a mixed dish, the chicken feet are delicious, and the snails are a little sandy A large plate of minced croaker meat, a super large plate, the croaker is very fresh, and the minced meat tastes very good, not bad Braised squid with paste, the squid with paste and green onions are braised, the squid is very tender and roasted well Stone pot beans Tofu, exclusive secret recipe, one side of the tofu is black, similar to stinky tofu, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the sauce tastes very good, a bit special, recommended Eggplant rice cake, the eggplant is well cooked, the rice cake can be softer, maybe I like to eat soft Pepper and salt potato cake, this dish must be recommended, the potato tastes very good, the outer layer of pepper and salt is very delicious, you can't make it at home, ate 3 or 4, it's so delicious, if you go there yourself, you will order it Special steamed egg, the characteristic is that the steamed egg is topped with a layer of fried salted egg yolk , the egg was steamed tender and tasted good Amao fish head, the fish was quite fresh, those who can't eat chopped pepper fish head can try this Three fresh soup, a very substantial big bowl, the soup was very fresh, the meatballs and cabbage were good Freshly ground soy milk, this soy milk is quite special, the production method seems to be different, the soy milk is a bit like tofu pudding, the taste is between sweet and salty, I don't know whether to say it is special or strange Beauty braised pork, also a signature dish, the meat is cut into small pieces, cooked very tasty, tastes good and not greasy, just a little sweet

We arrived around 6:30. The business is very good. It is near Starbucks in the Cultural Square. It is very big and easy to find. It is on this side of the river. We walked in and found a seat. The place is big, so there are a lot of tables and chairs. There are all kinds of people, which can meet your needs. There are only two of us, so a small table is enough. The first dish I want to complain about is the first one. Ningbo's speciality: Ningbo roasted vegetables are not delicious. This one is made of old green vegetables. It is hard and difficult to eat. It is okay to taste, but I still like the sweet and soft kohlrabi. It is delicious. The third hot dish, I still want to complain about. Today's green vegetables are old and not sweet, but it is indeed not the season to eat green vegetables. The small green vegetables hit by frost taste the best. This one is a bit old and hard. Anyway, the taste is not good. How good is it? Sizzling shrimp with garlic sauce￥29.00 Yes, it is indeed sizzling But the taste is a bit too light, I added soy sauce and vinegar later, and it was much better when I dipped it in it The shrimp is definitely very fresh, and the price is very good. If you like it, you can order 2 servings~ I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes I also want to eat minced meat and eggplant Then if you order enough, just order one serving This tomato is probably a local tomato, not very delicious, sticky and chewy, bland, but the egg is delicious Today, these dishes are eaten by 2 little girls, it seems that there are a few too many But if you like it and want to eat it, don't be restrained Amao Restaurant is still good Iced beer is so strong!
