HONG RI RESTAURANT

I went on a business trip to Zhongshan with my colleagues and stopped by to eat this crispy carp fillet. It was my first time eating this kind of fish and I was fascinated by the crispy fish meat. "Steamed fish belly with black bean sauce" The fish belly is relatively fat, crispy and delicious. "Fish bones with pepper and salt" The fish bones are fried very fragrant, and the taste of pepper and salt is also good. "Fresh crispy meat Anhui fish fillet" The fish fillet is really delicious, crispy, not fishy at all. Super delicious. "Crispy meat carp balls" Relatively speaking, the fish balls are average. "Shiqi pigeon" The pigeon is also very delicious. I thought two were too many at first, but after a bite, I felt that I could finish two by myself. Overall, the environment of this restaurant is average, but the food is really delicious.

The restaurant is located in Dongsheng Town, Zhongshan City, the hometown of crispy grass carp in China. We came here because of its reputation. The environment is good. The hall is almost full of people. We sat in the room to avoid the noise. I recommend the one fish four dishes set meal. The steamed fish belly with black bean sauce is crispy and sweet, the salt and pepper fish bones are crispy and delicious, the boiled fish fillet and fish balls are sweet and refreshing, and finally a bowl of fish intestines and fish oil fried rice, which is really delicious.

My favorite is the crispy meat grass carp, which can be eaten in several ways, including steamed fish belly with black bean sauce; fish bones with pepper and salt; crispy meat grass carp belly with sand ginger; crispy meat grass carp fillet; fried fish fillet with ginger and scallion; crispy meat grass carp balls; fish intestine fried rice; fresh crispy meat Wan fish fillet; ginger and scallion fish belly; Shiqi pigeon, a crispy taste

The price/performance ratio is really high! I tried almost every dish. It is very suitable for a large family gathering. The room can fit two large tables. But I ordered too many dishes. I packed 10 lunch boxes. I will come again next time!

Zhongshan not only has baby pigeons, but also crispy grass carp. I went to Shiqi for a baby pigeon. I came to Dongsheng just to have a bite of crispy grass carp. Following the navigation through an industrial area, we found this one-story Chinese restaurant with an ordinary factory-style environment, but the front door was full of cars. The simple and bold signboard with large characters is particularly eye-catching, and the signature dishes are clearly visible at a glance. The four big characters of Hongri Restaurant all have a full-fledged food stall style, and it can be seen that the owner of the restaurant pays attention to the connotation rather than the superficial decoration. Although we arrived at the restaurant at 1:20 pm, more than half of the lunch hour had passed and diners were paying their bills and leaving one after another, the lobby was still bustling. Rooms had been booked in advance, and all the rooms along the corridor were full, so business was indeed booming. The store’s specialty is crispy grass carp. I ordered half a fish, which weighed about five pounds, and got four free dishes. Steamed fish belly with black bean sauce, fish bones with salt and pepper, fried rice with fish intestines, and the rest can be used for hot pot. I ordered some crispy grass carp balls and mulberry leaves soaked in broth, as well as the store's signature squab. It's nothing special, I just wanted to compare it with another famous squab. "Steamed Fish Belly with Black Bean Sauce" 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 is definitely worthy of five stars. Or maybe it was because the texture and taste of the first dish amazed me. The fish belly is cut into square strips and steamed with the simplest black bean sauce method. It has just the right degree of doneness, a crisp and chewy texture, the most original flavor, and is boneless and clean. It is most suitable for someone like me who cannot eat fish. It is definitely a plus for me. "Salt and pepper fish bones" is undoubtedly a first-class side dish for drinking. The fish bones are fried until crispy, crispy when eaten, oily but not greasy, and golden in color. It can be said to be full of color, aroma and taste. "Fish Intestine Fried Rice" is a dish with rich connotation. It doesn't look very good, and I didn't even know it was fish intestine fried rice until I paid the bill. The rice grains are plump and beautifully colored. The rice grains exude a strong aroma of fish intestines, a unique fragrance that is a bit fishy and a bit sweet, which attracts the fanatical pursuit of offal lovers. "Crispy Grass Carp Balls" may be a result of your habit of eating the sweet and fragrant Xiansha fish balls with tangerine peel, so you may feel that they have no taste or texture, and do not highlight the crispy characteristics of the crispy grass carp. It's pretty standard. The "grilled pork ribs" was a rather disappointing dish. It was dry and woody, far from what I had imagined roasted pork ribs to be. No juice, no texture when bitten. It tastes even worse when it’s cold. "Mulberry leaves soaked in broth" is generous in portion, the mulberry leaves are tender, and the broth is sweet, making the simple mulberry leaves more flavorful, which can be said to be the icing on the cake. [Fresh Crispy Anhui Fish Slices] Take out a large plate of fish meat from half a five-pound fish and pour it directly into a pot with only water and ginger slices. Cook for a dozen seconds and then eat with soy sauce. It’s even better with hot sauce or shredded cilantro. All the crispy grass carp are raised by the boss himself and shipped fresh from the fish farm every day. They are cut into slices upon order, without any oil or additives such as baking soda. The clerk proudly explained to us why the fish is so crispy. It’s not that the “braised pigeon” is bad, the taste is pretty good. I just want to say that it is better to eat crispy grass carp when you come to Hongri. We ordered so many dishes, but the bill was only around 100 per person, which is really a great value for money. The dishes are excellent, the prices are reasonable and fair, and it is worth recommending.
