Food quest with Mr.Dan

June 8, 2021, Shanghai China
Mr Dan(30 years old) ,he is an excellent chef and has served in a variety of middle- and high-class restaurants, but now he is working in Jointown Group in Shanghai. I can cook Guangdong cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and even desserts, western and Japanese cuisine, he said. From his actions, he shows that he is an experienced cook. He seems to be quite skilled in the control of seasoning, heat and toppings, and his series of operations seem to be very consistent. I've been working in this industry for 12 years now, when I first started, I was most interested in desserts and Japanese cuisine. Now that I'm not young, I find it very satisfying to work for personal service, Mr Dan said.

It is the first time for me to eat dishes cooked by him, but these three dishes and the soup are not make me feel strange. With perfect combination of color, aroma and taste, these three dishes and one soup, including Fried Mater Convolvulus, He Tang San Bao, Pork Chop with Bone and pork bones soup with kelp are very enjoyable for the diners. The soup is green with a tinge of yellow, which looks really fresh. He Tang San Bao is a combination of lotus seed, water chestnut and lotus root tip, which is full of summer flavor. For every meal, I will go out the day before or in the morning to shop for ingredients, because only good ingredients make good taste, Mr Dan said.

This is a Yakitori restaurant. But, what really attracts me is not the barbecue but the novelty of the egg-packed rice. The egg white and yolk on the egg-packed rice look like the sun on a cloud. And its color is bright and appetizing. Under the skin of a delicate egg is plump rice. Different from the usual sauce for egg-packed rice, the sauce that is neither curry nor ketchup, has a distinctive sweet and spicy taste. I chose to come here on the recommendation of a friend, I didn't expect to get so much. I would try to cook it if I had the chance, Mr Dan said. There are many restaurants in Metro City, but most people choose Yakitori.
June 9, 2021, Beijing China
With Mr Dan's words and recommendations, I invite him to join me on our food quest. Sitting on the roof of a building in a Beijing hutong in the morning sun, drinking coffee and eating desserts while reading a book, this kind of leisure can not be missed. In this impetuous society and noisy city, such a place can be counted as an urban paradise. This is one of the sweet shops where Mr. Dan worked. This dessert named Napoleon has a unique flavor. Waffles don't taste greasy with the lightly cooled cream and fruit on top. The Berry Beans is also developing into a web celebrity location.

Mr. Dan said, YUANGU is one of my relatively favorite places to work in Beijing. Their menu is very original. Many desserts in this shop are themed by the four seasons, so people can enjoy the changes of the four seasons through food here. This dessert that looks like an ice cream is not an ice cream. It's made from cream and has just the right sweetness, so even if you eat too much of it, it won't make you feel greasy or nauseous. This winter theme dessert can make people feel a little cool in the heat of summer.
June 10, 2021, Wuhan China
Yingdai Liaoli, the Japanese cuisine restaurant is the one Mr. Dan used to work in Wuhan. While these sushi look so earthy that other restaurants can make the same, they taste superb. Each piece of caviar are very plump, and every one looks crystal clear. By pairing their exclusive soy sauce with their sushi, the restaurant gives their sushi its own flavor, without being overwhelmed by other Japanese food restaurants. Fresh ingredients are the significant thing in sushi, which can determine the taste of it. The taste of their food and the selection of ingredients can show the restaurant's serious attitude towards food.

The restaurant specializes in foie gras and crab. In particular, when you eat foie gras with bread, you can feel it melting in your mouth. The taste is fine and smooth, and it's full of foie gras but not fishy. The mist from the little pot makes me enjoying the food in peace. It is my pleasure to serve such delicious foie gras at this Japanese food restaurant. It's a success for me to be able to serve that kind of food, Mr. Dan said. His words also show his attitude towards food, that is, he doesn't just work for the sake of work.
June 10, 2021, Wuhan China
This restaurant is kind of a pity for me. I thought about working in it, but it was fully staffed, Mr Dan said, laughing. This dessert shop is located beside the Yangzi rive. Eating dessert while enjoying the river view is the charm of this restaurant. The chocolate cake and the coconut cake are very delicate. The scent of coconut and chocolate is overwhelming. A bite into the cake, the delicious burst out. It's a salty, sweet taste of coconut mixed with a smooth but not bitter, chocolate flavor. But having a cake like this, I don't have any regrets anymore,he said.

This Japanese dessert for afternoon tea in this Wuhan restaurant is also a standout. This fish-shaped jelly is really great. It's very lifelike, elastic and attractive, making you want to bite into it. Such delicacies seem like a handicraft, and people can not bear to eat it and to destroy it. Its whole flavor is of delicious cherry blossom. That's why chefs are also called culinary artists, Mr. Dan said. The pursuit of food has nothing to do with age, but with a heart for good food. There are a a lot of people who come here for this fish-shaped jelly. The little red book App has a strong propaganda effect.
June 11, 2021, Hebei China

The hotel is in his hometown, in Baoding, Hebei. This is the beginning of his cooking, he used to be a master in the this kitchen, said Ms. Ye (33 years old), who is the hotel manager. I've never seen a guy cook so carefully in a hotel, Ms. Ye also said, Before he left his job, he had received unanimous praise from customers and had never received complaints or negative comments. When all the other cooks were off duty, he tried dishes alone in the back kitchen. This attitude and spirit can be said to be the greatest respect for cooking.
