Along with xiaolongbao, yellow croaker noodles is one of the most famous and iconic shanghai dishes. I tried it for the first time with my good friend ‪@maikelaoshi‬ and had the best time learning about this dish with the boss of the restaurant. Such a legend!!!

The passionate owners are usually grumpy because most customers actually don't understand the effort put into making a dish. Making a dish from scratch is definitely difficult. Kudos to the gentleman for insisting on doing his dish this way.

I grew up around chefs,you can tell they are by how passionately they talk about food. The one's I know are just very passionate people in general and usually really friendly too, really fun to be around. Most I know don't even make a living from it only 3 of the people in my family own restaurants.

@user-tj6ot7tw8g 2 года назад

"半成品" means processed products. In this context, it means they always use fresh fish meat as ingredients (not frozen, not preserved, probably they buy live fish from the wet market at early morning and make dishes from them) .

@shinagenbu679 2 года назад

Also the sign only applies to those Vloggers who leave negative reviews to gain views and subscribers. Because those people always go to small family restaurants to describe their foods tasting like crap. Which doesn't make any sense in itself because the restaurants would have ran out of business long ago and they wouldn't have the chance to eat there.

@dale841123 2 года назад

Being a former chef I have to say “半成品” means pre-cooked food. May be half way may be already fully cooked. So when customer order this dish we simply just heat and go with a little bit garnish finish. I’m not fully disagreed with you, I know what you try to say is more like pre processed food that will be different meaning for the boss wanna to delivery
