Shanhetun Iron Pot Stew in Harbin

#chinatravel Restaurant : Shanhetun Iron Pot Stew山河屯铁锅炖 Address : Outlet in Zhongyang Pedestrian Walking Street My friend brought me to this restaurant 山河屯铁锅炖. We selected the pork ribs and the savoury pot was made fresh and cooked at the table. Took around 30 mins to be ready and we tossed in 娃娃菜 and a chewy dough on the sides of the metal pot. The broth was rich and flavourful but can be a bit overwhelming and filling so I couldn't really eat a lot. You pair the stew with the dough, fresh greens and can also offset the richness by chewing on crunchy cucumber, Toufu skin and small red radish with a meat dip etc Also, portions in North East China tend to be huge. The dough was nice though when dipped in the broth and eaten together with the meaty ribs. While waiting for the pot to cook, we feasted on corn porridge, ice cream and fresh cut vege snack with meat dip xoxo. Overall : Interesting and very unique North Eastern way of eating , a first for me and a must try , but only when you have the patience for the meal to be cooked xoxo #harbin #哈爾濱中央大街 #山河屯铁锅炖
