& shy; One’s lifetimehonored brand the “resurrection” of the traditional cuisine of Fuzhou in Antai tower. & shy; Citizens and tourists who like authentic Fuzhou cuisine can not only taste Fuzhou’s famous “Eight King Kong” pan edge, meat swallow, fish ball, one’s lifetimehonored brand, pancakes, oyster cake, rice, taro, meatball and so on, you can also taste more than 20 kinds of Fuzhou specialties that have just been revived. After more than ten years of excavation and rescue by people in Fuzhou’s catering industry, these “new dishes” were reboarded to the Antai tower and Juchunyuan dining table. & shy; Huang Yingbin, the former general manager of Antai building, who has retired, introduced that with the passage of time, many old Fuzhou people will lose their inheritance of the characteristic Fujian cuisine. In recent years, they searched for the taste of these delicacies from memory, the recipes left by the late master of Fujian cuisine, the folk search, and then restored by chefs according to traditional production techniques. & shy; Huang Tongbin said that in the process of exploring and rescuing dishes, they also discovered many stories behind the food. For example, there is a dish called “Manmin tea Xixi”, which is mainly cooked by the pasta “sprinkling” of Manchu people and “Haizhong” of Fuzhou coastal areas. According to folklore, this was a special dish cooked by Manchu in combination with Fuzhou’s local eating habits during the period when the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty were stationed in Fuzhou. Later, this dish developed into a big dish at the banquet in Fuzhou folk. “Sa Zi” is the fried pasta that Manchu people are used to eating. It is crispy and delicious, and the fresh seafood soup that Fuzhou people like to drink has made this Manmin dish. & shy; In Huang Zuobin’s childhood memory, once he was unwell, his grandfather would bring a dish called “ramming fans” in Fuzhou to recuperate him. The smooth and delicious taste of this dish has always been remembered by him. He remembered that before the 1970 s, this was a delicious food made by every family in Fuzhou, but it was almost lost later. The chefs of Huang Yingbin and Antai Tower visited the folk old people with memories, and finally recovered the dish completely and named it “Phoenix fans”. This dish requires carefully mashing cooked fans and egg flower, and then mixing them into hot soup. It is required that it should not be caked, and it must be completely mash to see what ingredients it is, become a nourishing food suitable for all ages. & shy; At the same time, there are also dishes such as “ancient early thousands of Li Xiang”, “spring bamboo shoots and shrimp cooking and selling”, which can make old Fuzhou people find the good memory on the tip of their tongue.
