Recently, the Hangzhou Foodie Backstage received reports. Xiasha There is a small restaurant that has been open for more than a year. Going to eat is like opening a blind box. You can't order, you can only order the food in the store, and the steamed buns cost 5 yuan each.

There are very few restaurants that serve local dishes in Hangzhou. They are usually established private restaurants or niche high-end restaurants. Restaurants that have just been open for more than a year are very rare. So I am very curious and must go and take a look.

This restaurant is called "Wugou Restaurant" and is located on Jinqiao Street in Xiasha. It is easy to find.

There are many small restaurants in this area, and many people drive here to eat at meal time.

From the outside, the decoration of Wugou Restaurant is very new, but the business is very prosperous, and it can be full at noon on weekdays. Just after 11:30, there were customers waiting for a table.

This is my first time here, so naturally I don’t know what to eat. The uncle in the store confidently recommended a few dishes, wrote them down in a small notebook, and went into the kitchen.

White-cut chicken

Although the presentation is not pretty, judging from the cross-section of the chicken bones and the fat under the skin, it is a pretty good chicken. It's delicious simply dipped in a little soy sauce. The chicken is very fresh and has a chicken flavor.

Dried vegetables and river shrimps

This dish is salty and appetizing, with a combination of meat and vegetables. It is very down-to-earth. It is also a classic home-cooked dish for people in Xiaoshan, Shaoxing and other places to spend their summers. The soup made with dried vegetables, bamboo shoots, and river shrimps is very fresh, and it is a tried and tested combination that cannot go wrong.

The ingredients in the dishes are also very good, and the large river shrimps are very enjoyable to eat.

Gourd-roasted bacon

Although this dish is paired with bacon, it still has a fresh taste. You can enjoy the delicious flavor of bacon and the sweetness of gourd.

Wugou Big Meat Buns. The meat buns here are larger than those made in many stores. The skin is very thin and you can bite into the fillings in one bite.

The meat filling is very big, juicy and full of sauce flavor. The meat is also elastic, slightly chewy and has a perfect texture.

During lunch, the whole store was very busy. The proprietress said that she was only free after 9:30 p.m., so she made an appointment with her to chat in the evening and also checked some information about Wugou Restaurant online.

Xiong Li, the proprietress of Wugou Restaurant, is a native of Xiasha. Wugou Restaurant was once a famous restaurant on Xiasha Old Street, as everyone among the locals knew. It opened in 1994 and was moved to Jinqiao Street after demolition more than a year ago.

Because there are so many old customers, the customers also trust the store very much and have formed a tacit understanding with each other. Therefore, as long as you tell the store the consumption limit, the store will arrange the menu based on the purchase situation and the number of guests that day.

Xiong Li's father is from Xiasha Wannan Village. Before opening a restaurant, Master Xiong worked in a canteen with thousands of people in a factory in Xiasha, and also cooked in the canteen of Xiasha Middle School. He started his own business in the 1990s and became a well-known local chef. He has more than 40 years of kitchen experience.

Wu Dog Big Meat Bun is a new variety that Master Xiong added to the store last year. It costs 5 yuan each and can sell more than 200 pieces a day.

At Wugou Restaurant, you can also eat Shadi Shiwantou, an intangible cultural heritage delicacy in Qiantang District. "Ten bowls of head" is a unique local folk culture of banquets, specifically referring to nine dishes and one soup, namely, white catfish with chicken, stir-fried pork skin, winter vegetables vermicelli, stir-fried celery with shredded pork, and fish with vinegar. , three delicacies soup, "Dongpo" in the front, "Dongpo" in the back, and mustard shredded pork and egg drop soup.

Shiwantou has been popular in the local area for more than a hundred years. Xiong Li said that the ingredients for "Shiwantou" need to be prepared in advance, and if you want to eat it, you must make a reservation.

Xiong Li told me that Wugou Restaurant has always been cooking authentic Xiasha local dishes. Speaking of the characteristics of Xiasha vegetables, she said that the water and soil support each person, and there are many vegetable growers in Xiasha. If they are close to the place of production, the vegetables will be fresh and delicious. And Xiasha is close to the river, so you can eat by the river. The fresh fish in the store is very special, and you can eat all kinds of fish produced by the Qiantang River.

Recently, the Qiantang River has just started fishing after the fishing ban ended. Many regular customers have come to try it. mullet , saury , seabass are all the best-selling varieties in the store.
