Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, Japan｜Kowloon

The owner/chef apparently trained at a restaurant in Chinatown long ago, so he knows the basics of authentic Chinese cuisine, so whatever he eats is delicious! When I was young, I had a part-time job at a long-established, very famous, large restaurant in Chinatown that closed last year, and I continued to go there as a customer for many years. did! ! Delicious food is delicious no matter who eats it, without any logic, but if I may say so, the way it uses condiments (garlic, etc.) and the way it cooks is fundamentally different from that of street Chinese food, which is just stir-fried. The restaurant is run by the chef and a part-time worker, so you can't expect long serving times or attentive service, and the dimly lit atmosphere makes it suitable for hanging out with family and friends, rather than entertaining or going on a date. One plate is a lot, so for two middle-aged people, 2 plates + 1 bowl of noodles is a lot.

Lunch here...Spicy mapo noodles, spicy but really good. Finally, the leftover mapo rice with rice is also delicious 😋 Once you taste it, the deep taste and texture will be burned into your memory. Closed every Tuesday and third Wednesday Lunch time 12:00-13:45 (L.O 13:30) The night is from 17:00.

I used to go there often when I was a student more than 10 years ago. I'm happy that I'm still doing it, and I miss it. It has long been supported by people in the city, and above all, it is proof that it is delicious. Honestly, no matter what I eat, it's all delicious. Since it is a memory from the past, it could be beautifully dramatized, but In my memory, the interior of the store is wooden and has a calm atmosphere, but somehow the sophisticated urban atmosphere reminds me of jazz. Since I was a student, I didn't have a lot of money to spend on food and drink, but this place was delicious, and I was happy to find a hidden famous restaurant, and I felt like I was a little more grown-up, so I often went there for lunch and dinner. I think refreshing jazz goes perfectly with Chinese food, which is high in protein and calories. I forgot if the background music in the store was jazz because it was 10 years ago. I still feel warm when I remember that the father of the restaurant owner, who was tough and taciturn, was cooking while babysitting his daughter who played DS during lunchtime. When I spoke with him to thank him for the meal, I found him to be a very friendly and smiling person. At that time, I think I was eating fried rice with jackfruit and cheese, and sweet and sour pork with black vinegar. The sweet and sour pork here is so delicious that I still try to imitate this flavor when I make it at home. The aroma of the batter is unique. Do you add crushed rice or something? It felt like the two textures coexisted together. I will definitely visit again to make some memories.
