Many netizens say that every time you go to a place in Chongqing, it may be a scene that has appeared in a movie. Indeed, as of now, More than 300 movies have been shot in Chongqing as the filming location (including the period before liberation when it was the capital), and as long as you have the heart, almost all movie scenes are scattered throughout Chongqing.

Recently, many seemingly ordinary places such as Chongqing Railway Middle School, Toy Star City, Crown Escalator, Tongyuan Bureau Subway Station, Caiyuanba Overpass, Huangjueping South Railway Station, Kuixing Building, Nanbin Road, Zhongshan Fourth Road, Haitang Creek, etc. have become popular again, just because of the movie "Young You", which has made many netizens crazy to check in at these places.

Chongqing is a beautiful internet celebrity city and a true culinary capital. However, compared to other internet celebrity attractions, Chongqing's cuisine is much more low-key. Hot pot, small noodles, and Jianghu cuisine are the three main dishes that most people come to Chongqing to enjoy; As for what to buy, Fried Dough Twists, Hu Dou (odd flavor Hu Dou), rice candy, peach slices... It seems that there is nothing new. In fact, Chongqing's cuisine is also very diverse. In addition to the influential local hot pot brands and Chongqing style Sichuan cuisine in China, a large number of excellent restaurants in other cities are accelerating to gather in Chongqing. For example, the well-known Haidilao, which has been wandering outside Chongqing for many years, has finally summoned the courage to open a shop in Raffles Chongqing recently, and so is the "Chang'an No.1", which Yufan will introduce to you in this article.

Internet celebrity dish: Beijing vintage Guomu roasted duck

The "Chang'an No.1" restaurant originated in Beijing, so its most famous signature dish - Beijing roast duck, is also a signature dish of "Chang'an No.1". The restaurant has a "Chang'an No.1" chef with rich cooking experience. The young man in the picture comes from a roast duck family, and his grandfather, father, and uncle are all professional roast duck chefs who have been in the industry for many years, and they all work as chefs in international five-star hotels.

He was also influenced by the family's roast duck culture when he was young. His eyes and ears were affected. He fell in love with the Beijing roast duck skill when he was young. Later, he was deeply inherited by his parents. Before he came to Chongqing, he had been working in Beijing for more than 8 years, so Chongqing became a star chef in the store, and even had the reputation of "Chen Xiaodong" in Monument to the people's Liberation. Many Internet celebrities came to the store to take pictures with him.

He told us that the old-fashioned Guomu roast duck from Chang'an No.1 not only comes from Beijing's technology, but the duck is also a high-quality Beijing white duck. In addition, there are cooperative farms in Beijing that only use 2.3-2.5 kilograms of white duck. The duck base needs to go through three manual processes and be paired with Chang'an No.1's secret recipe roast duck sauce, which is then roasted in a hanging oven for about an hour.

The young man told us that their roast duck is not directly roasted on the fire, but is roasted through the reflection of the flame. However, the duck is regularly roasted on the fire, and all the wood used is fruit wood transported by air from Beijing, mainly jujube wood. The roasted duck made from this type of wood is more fragrant, crispy, and crunchy.

The young man said that the roasted duck should be immediately skinned and the meat should be removed. If we wait too long, it will affect the taste. Therefore, he immediately brought it to our table after roasting and sliced the roasted duck into three plates.

These three dishes are different, one is duck skin, one is duck meat, and one is duck meat with skin. The taste is completely different when eaten. In addition, there is a leftover duck rack, which is another way of eating.

The duck skin is very crispy, very crispy, and melts in the mouth. Dip it in some white sugar for a better taste.

Moreover, it is best to eat duck meat wrapped in a noodle bag, wrapped with secret sauce, jumping candy, shredded scallions and other side dishes, wrapped in a long strip with one side sealed and the other side open. Eating it in the mouth is both crispy, fragrant and crispy, and the jumping candy keeps jumping in the mouth, leaving a lasting impression. Cucumber strips must be eaten alone, as they will not overpower the delicious taste of ducks and can also be refreshing.

After the duck rack is sliced, the chef takes it back to the kitchen for processing. After serving it later, it can also be made into clear duck soup. Friends with strong or light flavors can choose their preferred way.
