Picking up another piece of fatty intestine and putting it into his mouth, Wang Fan couldn’t help but nod at the soft and chewy texture.

Even without mentioning taste and texture, the choice of ingredients is remarkable.

It’s not just about preserving the original flavor, but the texture of this fatty intestine shows that it’s fresh, not the imported frozen kind.

There’s a significant price difference between fresh and frozen intestines, so many vendors will often use lower-quality ones while heavy seasoning and long cooking times hide the difference, and they can make more profit.

The approach of this restaurant leaves a favorable impression on Wang Fan.

Eating out, first you seek taste, second cleanliness, and third convenience. A lackluster taste can be tolerated, but unclean food is absolutely intolerable.

The platter also includes pig stomach and kidney slices. The pig stomach is fresh and crunchy with a sweet taste, using fresh ingredients. The kidney slices, meanwhile, retain a bit of their raw flavor and taste slightly pungent when eaten.

The third dish is warm beef salad, similar in preparation to the platter, but the beef flavor is strong and clearly fresh, not frozen. However, as Wang Fan continued eating, he suddenly felt his mouth was on fire.

Oh no, this chili has a kick!

Feeling the fiery sensation in his mouth, Wang Fan inhaled deeply and reached for Zhuo Qianqian’s yogurt. Yogurt and milk are good for alleviating spiciness, and Wang Fan drank up all the yogurt that Zhuo Qianqian had only managed to drink half of on their way.

Zhuo Qianqian handles spiciness better than Wang Fan, as Southern Border’s chilies are no joke. The spiciness of these two dishes is just mild drizzle to her; she can devour the meat in large bites and perfectly savor the fresh taste of the ingredients.

Once the spiciness in his mouth eased a bit, Wang Fan picked up the rice and ate with the dishes. Although eating the chilies alone is spicy, they are perfect for accompanying rice, with one bite of chili meat followed by a large mouthful of rice, eating with great gusto.

The local favorite restaurant for traditional dishes, much more authentic than online rankings, at least this meal didn’t disappoint Wang Fan, and the price was very reasonable, with the two of them spending less than a hundred yuan for the meal.

As they left, the two moved on to another shop until Wang Fan had ticked off everything on his list of recommended traditional dishes, finally ending the day’s restaurant exploration journey satisfied.

"Renhe Waterborne, 99 Beef House, Mountain City Homemade Dishes, Tang Rabbit’s Family, Yuling Hot Pot, Happy Lamb, Drunken Eight Immortals, Lei Lei Stir Fried, Stove Dongjia Folk Dishes..." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The list includes recommendations from netizens and discoveries Wang Fan made himself. Some places he doesn’t even need to taste, just smelling the aroma in the shop or glancing at the dishes on other tables tells him if the food is good.

Once Wang Fan’s recommendation list was shared, the Wudu netizens couldn’t sit still as they were astonished to find many of the recommended places weren’t even in their own collections!

"I’ve lived in Wudu my whole life, yet I didn’t know we have so many great restaurants..."

"Are you telling me, a local, to bookmark a food guide from someone who’s been here for just two days?"

"Though embarrassing, it seems that way... I just came out of Happy Lamb, and honestly the taste was excellent, and the ingredients really fresh."

"Wow, as expected of a professional, Boss Wang explored so many places in one day."

"This is just the recommendation list he shared. If he included the ones that didn’t meet expectations, how many places must he have visited?"

"The point is, not only did he visit many, but the places he found are exceptional. There’s one near our home, which doesn’t even offer takeout or have any online reputation, only the nearby residents go, yet Boss Wang discovered it."

"If you go to the place mentioned above again, you might need a reservation now that it’s on Boss Wang’s inaugural recommendation list..."

Reading this, many locals were suddenly startled.

Indeed, Boss Wang’s first recommendation list, anyone visiting Wudu in the future will likely consult it!

Given Boss Wang’s stature in the culinary world, these establishments are bound to see doubled turnovers from today, unless he’s hidden them well!

"Locals have plenty of chances to try them later, I just want to know when Boss Wang will set up his stall. I can’t wait to taste it myself!"

"According to usual practice, it should be Monday, which is the day after tomorrow."

"Let Boss Wang’s delicacies come even stronger! Tomorrow, I’ll first feast at one of his recommended places, then eagerly await the dishes crafted by Boss Wang himself!"
