When it comes to fried chicken legs, maybe everyone will first think of the major fast food chains, or a few fried legs specialty shops that have already been introduced by netizens. Recently, a new takeaway shop “Liu Tiao” has opened in Wan Chai. In addition to offering ready-to-order raw fried chicken thighs and a variety of cheap local snacks, it also focuses on the theme of the Three Kingdoms. The owner of the shop will wear Guan Yu’s attire to attract attention, and passers-by who pass by the shop will also be attracted by his exotic clothes. Maybe everyone will think that the owner is a fan of the Three Kingdoms, but it turns out that this is a selling point, and there is a mission related to generations behind it.
“Liu Tiao” is jointly worked by “Second Brother Guan” and his friend Natalie. “Second Brother Guan” is the main force on the front line, while Natalie is at the helm of everything in the kitchen. The store space is not big, and it can only do takeaway business. If you pass by the small shop, you will first be attracted by “Second Brother Guan” and the non-stop playing cock crowing music. “Second Brother Guan” would wear green Guan Yu clothes every day, put on sunglasses and sell behind the counter. On the day of the reporter’s visit, he also noticed that many pedestrians stopped and looked around, and some foreigners even raised their mobile phones to take pictures.
Regarding the reason for using the Three Kingdoms as the theme, Natalie said: “Isn’t the Three Kingdoms a good story? The story in history is a classic, and Liu Bei is just one of the stories in the Three Kingdoms. There are many stories left to us in this world. The world is changing too fast, and the second brother Guan represents benevolence and righteousness. In fact, how much of the meaning of the story left behind is what everyone remembers? The story of the Three Kingdoms is a story left to us by history, and our “Liu Tiao” is It’s something we want to leave behind for our peers.”
Natalie continued: “Central fermented bean curd restaurant “Liu” is actually something left to us by our parents. “Liu” represents the past, and “Leave” represents the present. We will all open a shop about the future in the future.”
“Er Ge Guan” is an overseas Chinese in Indonesia. His family runs a seafood restaurant. Every two to three months, he goes to Indonesia to buy spices for marinating the signature food of “Liu Tiao” – raw fried chicken legs (Liu Tiao). After the fried chicken is marinated to taste, it will be deep-fried once in hot oil. After the customer places an order, it will be fried in high-temperature boiling oil for several times. Natalie said that this can make the chicken skin more crispy and delicious. Customers can choose to order Liu Tiao a la carte, or serve it with rice, salad dishes and meals cooked in chicken soup. The price is quite affordable in Wanchai District, and it is really a gift for wage earners.
In addition to raw fried pork belly, the shop also offers instant fried salted pork knuckle. Natalie cooks the salted pork knuckle for two hours every day, then burns the skin and removes the hair with a gun, and then boils for 40 minutes for later use. Before serving, the salted pork knuckle will be deep-fried for 8 minutes, the taste is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
In addition, the store also provides snacks such as fried chicken cartilage dumplings and beer pulp French fries, which are most suitable for afternoon tea. If you want to taste street food and Hong Kong-style pastries, there are Hong Kong people’s favorite fish balls, siu mai, pudding cakes, sugar onion pancakes, and rice rolls that are only available for breakfast. What caught the reporter’s attention the most was the “unlimited curry” on the menu. Natalie revealed that customers can really add any curry sauce, curry fans must try it!
