The aroma of garlic and shrimp meat blend together, and the shrimp meat is plump and delicious, making people unable to stop. Braised Lamb Leg The lamb leg has no smell at all, the tendons are soft and crispy, covered with amber jelly, and exudes an enticing aroma. When you take a bite, the meat is delicious and your taste buds are greatly satisfied. Green pepper lobster When it is served steaming hot, you can smell the refreshing spicy aroma, the spiciness of green peppercorns and the sweetness of lobsters are intertwined, and the Sichuan pepper oil brings out a rich sense of layering.

I often eat red soup bullfrog fish hot pot, but green pepper hot pot fish is rare. I became a regular customer after eating it once, it's so addictive! For me, a heavy bullfrog fish lover, this small shop is simply a treasure, and I can't bear to leave once I go! Before entering the door, you can smell the pepper and numbness, just like doing a top-level olfactory SPA, it's so cool! They all use disposable pots, which are clean and hygienic. There is a thick layer of green pepper on the bottom of the pot, which makes me drool! The bullfrog is big, the meat is delicate, and the meat on the legs is full of elasticity! The crucian carp is tender and flavorful, and there is also yellow spicy ding, which is very nutritious and healthy, and can't stop eating. There is also fresh brine fat sausage, which is very domineering! Such a pot is super suitable, no one can resist! The boss is very honest, the frog fish is fresh and weighed, and there is no shortage of two! And if you can't eat too much numbness, you can communicate with the boss in advance to reduce the pepper, which is really considerate! Only this kind of real bullfrog fish hot pot is worth going often! 🏠: Bayutang Green Pepper Fish·Bullfrog Fish Head·Fat Sausage Fish Hot Pot (Longtousi Main Store) 📍: 4-8 Lilac Road
