This restaurant specializes in sour fish and Guilin rice noodles. The soup base and rice noodles initially taste bland, but over time, the sourness of the pickled cabbage seeps in, making it suitable for those who enjoy sour flavors.
The meal was served very quickly.
Seeing the name of this restaurant, I guessed that it specializes in pickled fish, and after glancing at the menu, my guess was confirmed.
This place offers two main dishes: the individual hot pot and Guilin rice noodles. If you like both, you can have them all—it's really a choice only a child would make.
Since I don't usually eat spicy food, many items weren't suitable for me. In the end, I chose the Northeast pickled cabbage Guilin rice noodles, which seems to be a recent addition.
The meal was prepared quickly, and I immediately took a bite of the Guilin rice noodles, which was quite bland. As I ate more, I realized that the broth itself had very little flavor; because the cabbage was really sour, the broth might only develop its sourness as the flavor from the cabbage gradually seeps in.
The Guilin rice noodles were similar; after eating for a while, the sourness of the cabbage seeped into the noodles.
To be honest, as I continued eating, it became really sour, so for those who enjoy sour flavors, it’s best to wait a bit before eating.
