Speaking of Tianjin Lishunde Hotel, it should be said that everyone knows it. Lishunde Hotel is the first foreign-funded hotel in China, which was founded in the second year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. Over the years, Lishunde Hotel has received hundreds of Chinese and foreign celebrities for its high-end positioning and witnessed many historical events in modern China. It was even once called an important place for China's modern diplomatic and political activities.
Since it is a high-end hotel that receives Chinese and foreign celebrities, it is of course necessary to pay attention to personalization and personal tailor. At Lishunde Hotel, the room arrangement was different at first. For example, room 288 was the "presidential suite" of that year; Room 320 is the "Lanfang Suite" where Mr. Mei once lived; And in Room 388, Hoover, the 3rd1President of the United States, once lived for five years.
In addition to the special layout of the rooms, Lishunde Hotel has formulated and reserved many private menus for different celebrities according to different tastes.
Some of the exclusive menus of these celebrities belong to Mr. Mei, a famous Peking Opera performer. In his early years, Mr. Mei performed in Tianjin many times and stayed at Lishunde Hotel every time. The hotel quickly mastered Mr. Mei's relatively light eating habits and customized a special menu for him. On the menu, there are fried chicken balls with ginkgo and chestnuts, sweet and sour mandarin fish, auricularia gold placer white, moo Shu pork, roasted melon with laver and so on.
Among them, sweet and sour mandarin fish is Miss Mei's favorite. Its practice is to fry the best mandarin fish first, and immediately pour the steaming gravy on the table. Under the action of marinade, the whole fish will squeak, like a squirrel. Sweet and sour mandarin fish is the best, not only with beautiful knife flowers, but also with golden color, crisp and lasting mouth and moderate sweetness and sourness.
And Zhang Shaoshuai's private menu. At that time, Zhang Shaoshuai liked the dishes of Lishunde Hotel: French oxtail clear soup, thyme mini jiaozi, roasted veal with cherry juice and chocolate. Among them, the French oxtail broth is very particular about cooking: first brush the oxtail with butter, and then fry it on the fire until it is half cooked. Put it in a soup pot, add water, and cook over low heat until crisp and rotten. Then, add the fried seasonal vegetables until the soup thickens and serve.
There is also a private menu, which belongs to the last emperor Puyi. The emperor often goes to restaurants, which is an impossible task. But at that time, the last emperor Puyi fled from Beijing to Tianjin, that is, he was no longer the emperor of the empire, and he was supported by countless Qing elders and even warlords. It is said that Zhang once gave Puyi100,000 yuan in exchange for having a meal with Puyi. Seven years in Tianjin is the most carefree years of Puyi, and there is a very westernized grace around him. So, driving, eating out, these fashionable things have been done by Puyi.
What are the private kitchens of the last emperor Puyi? This is a classic English set meal, including: grilled scallops in red wine sauce, lamb chops in red wine sauce and peaches. Here, we focus on combing peaches. Comb-off is a transliteration of English souffle, which can also be translated into SOUFFLE, comb-off and so on.
It was originally a dessert originated in France, and there are two kinds of cold food and hot food. Among them, protein is hot, and egg yolk and cream are cold. The best taste of this dessert is very time-sensitive. The hot comb was round when it was first baked, but it collapsed after a while and the taste was greatly inferior. The cold comb will melt when heated, and it can't be kept at room temperature for a long time even in summer. Therefore, if you want to taste the best comb, you must do it now and enjoy it immediately.
Fortunately, today, if you come to Lishunde Hotel, you can still taste the menus of seven famous historical figures in the hotel's 1863 western restaurant. But at the same time, the restaurant only provides the menus of two historical celebrities for people to experience. But I think, in this way, while we are tasting delicious food, we can also experience the history of that stormy encounter.
