The boss is also very nice. The hotel has a special car to pick you up, and only charges gas. If you go to a farther place (such as the ski resort), the boss will wait patiently. If I forget to take something, he will help me get it back from the car. The store also sells local specialties, which are basically sold at wholesale prices. The boss doesn't make money from this, but just for the convenience of tourists. When I ask questions at the specialty counter, he will explain to me patiently.
The boss said that the local rainbow trout tastes good when steamed, and that it only takes two and a half minutes to make the fish delicious. I was really curious, so I pestered him to make it for me. The boss was also responsive and immediately ordered fresh fish from his old friend. As soon as he got back to the hotel, he started cooking. I watched him cook. He was very skillful when handling the fish, and he didn't follow the rules when cooking. He seemed to add ingredients casually. The fish he steamed was indeed fresh and tender. There was no hard meat on the whole fish. Moreover, because there was not much added ingredients, the fish meat showed a natural sweetness, which tasted much better than the fish in the restaurant. I couldn't stop eating with my chopsticks. When I looked up, I saw that there was only the skeleton of the fish. (I even wanted to have another one...)
Next, there was chicken stewed with mushrooms. I had heard of this name, but I had never tried it before. The boss said that the chicken should be raised in the countryside for more than a year, so that the chicken would have flavor - the most important thing about food is the ingredients themselves, and the best ingredients can make the most delicious dishes. Facts have proved that the chef's words are indeed very accurate. The boss added mushrooms picked from the mountain to the stewed chicken. The stewed chicken is flavorful and tender, with a strong and tender taste, and a bit of the salty flavor of the soup. The mushrooms are also very delicious, so fresh that you can tell that it is a good thing that is full of the spiritual energy of the mountain. Although the portion is a bit too large to finish, I am satisfied to be able to eat a bite.
However, the boss is usually very busy and has no time to cook, so it is good to come in the off-season and eat the chef's dishes!
In short, I highly recommend everyone to stay in this hotel! It's really super good. I am very happy in Changbai Mountain because of this homestay!
