Dine with me in Shenzhen : Da Long Yi Hot Pot & HeyTea🌞 吃在深圳

Hello Steemit friends ,

Hope you are doing good today! 🌞 Today I would like to share a restaurant and a tea shop in Shenzhen with you. Shenzhen is a major city in Guangdong Province, China and it is connected north of Hong Kong. There are multiple ways of getting from Hong Kong to ShenZhen which include bus, train and ferry. Normally, my family will drive to ShenZhen from China, which takes around 1 hour only. It's a perfect weekend getaway or a short trip to relax during short weekend with many high quality restaurants and massage place. Without further ado, let's begin explore these two places~😋

Steemit的朋友大家好。昨天香港十號風球，剛好整理一下前陣子跟家人北上去深圳遊記的照片。我跟家人常常都會週末去深圳發掘一些新的餐廳，今天想跟大家分享一家四川火鍋店: 大龍燚和一家茶店: 喜茶。😋

1. 喜茶 HEEKCAA/HEYTEA

HEYTEA is originated in Guangdong Jiangmen in 2012, mainly selling cheese cap tea (Chinese: 奶蓋茶naigaicha) and seasonal fruit tea. It's gone from a small street-side shop to a chain tea shop with more than 50 stores all over Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhongshan and other places all over China in just a few years. What's more, it had convinced thousands of residents to line up for at least three hours queuing up for their cheese-topped tea and fruit tea when the first Shanghai branch opened in the mid-February in 2017. Let's have a look what special about this tea shop.

喜茶在2012年起始於廣東江門，是奶蓋茶的首創者。在短短幾年內，從小型街邊商店走到連鎖茶館遍布全國各地的50多家門店，深圳，上海，廣州，中山等地。更誇張的事，當第一家上海分行於今年2月中旬開幕時，數以千計的人排隊為了一嘗這一家網紅飲品店的奶蓋茶，排了至少三個小時排隊。是怎樣的飲品才能掀起這樣的排隊熱潮呢？我們一起來看看吧。

When we arrived, there are no crazy lines to get a taste of the tea. I guess it's probably because there are many branches in ShenZhen. The branch that I went is located in Futian's Coco Park.

深圳有不少喜茶的分店，我們去了福田區Coco Park分店。

Lining up for around 10 minutes, it's our turn to order. We ordered four different types of cheese cap teas.

我們很幸運，到達目的地時排隊的人並沒有很多，排了差不多10分鐘就可以點單了。

While waiting, I take a photo of this tea shop. Many people are waiting for their tea, and the shop are packed with people.

茶店的環境還不錯，只是店裏都坐滿了人，大家都在等叫號呢～

After 15 minutes wait, we finally get our hands on a cool cup of HeyTea. One the left we have a seasonal fresh melon green tea with a whipped cheese-flavour cream on top (Chinese:芝芝蜜瓜)and on the right we have the most popular flavour, Jinfeng Tea King (Chinese:金鳳茶王), a red tea with a full cheese cap.

15分鐘後，我們終於可以試試這杯網紅奶蓋茶了。左邊是芝芝蜜瓜，屬於季節性限定，用上新鮮蜜瓜，非常足料，喝起來還嘗到蜜瓜果肉。右邊側是金鳳茶王，打開杯蓋已經有很香的芝士香氣，綿密濃郁的芝士配上香濃的金鳳茶，真的好好喝~

One the left, we have Mocha latte with a whipped cheese-flavour cream on top (Chinese:靜冈抹茶), and a green tea with a whipped cheese-flavour cream on top (Chinese:四季春) on the right.

左邊這杯是芝士靜岡抺茶，大家都知道靜岡抹茶很有名，被稱為世界上最濃厚的抹茶，抺茶鮮奶好喝回甘，個人認為把芝士奶泡和抺茶鮮奶混合好再喝，口味更獨特更有風味。右邊這杯是芝士四季春，四季春獨特的香氣配上香滑的芝士，真的很棒～

It is recommended that open the top flag to taste the salty cheese and tea at the same time. One of the reason why HeyTea is so popular is they use high-quality tea leaves as ingredients and the tea is undoubtedly one of the best I ever had and the lightly salted cheese is a perfect complement to the tea. My favourite is Jinfeng Chawang (Chinese:金鳳茶王) and I will visit it again in the coming future 😋

店員建議我們喝的時候打開杯蓋一邊喝奶蓋一邊喝茶，一口品嚐兩種滋味。我想喜茶受歡迎的主要原因是他們的堅持，他們堅持用高品質的茶葉和新鮮芝士作為材料。比起香港的茶店，喜茶是我喝過最好喝的奶蓋茶，香濃獨特的茶配上香滑的芝士，很推薦給大家～

2. 大龍燚 Da Long Yi Hot Pot 🍴🍴

DaLong Yi is one of the most popular chain hotpot restaurant among the locals. It originated from Chengdu and famous for its spicy Sichuan style broths and a large variety quality ingredients. The owner has opened more than 20 chain restaurants in Chengdu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Lijiang, Xi'an, Harbin, Mianyang and other cities all over China. Sichuan food is renowned for being spicy and hot flavour and the traditional hotpot has no exception. I would only recommend this restaurant for those who love spicy food. Even they have two spicy level for customer to choose from, slightly hot broth is still extremely hot.

大龍燚源於成都，當深圳其中一間最受歡迎的傳統連鎖火鍋店，全國開設了20多間的連鎖店鋪，遍佈了全國各地：包括成都，上海，麗江，西安等。火鍋湯底越煮越濃，辣味也會跟著提升，蘸上秘製小料，真的很過癮，這間火鍋店我很推薦喜歡辣的朋友，不喜歡辣最好不要嘗試啦，因為他們的微辣湯底也是可以讓你噴火的喔 lol。

We arrive at the restaurant around 8:00 and the worker told us it takes around an hour wait. We decided to walk around instead of sitting at the front door. You can check the wait time and numbers of table in front of you by scanning the QR code on the queueing ticket with Wechat, a popular app among Chinese. What's more, you can just get a ticket with the app above, Meiwei buyong deng (Chinese: 美味不用等).

我們大概8:00左右到達了餐廳，很多户客坐在餐廳外等待入座，接待我們的員工說我們還需要等大概一個小時，排隊取號後我們決定在附近逛逛再回來。原來現在可以加他們店鋪的微信，掃描取號票上的QR Code來看前面還有多少桌和大約的等候時間。另外，我還發現可以用上面這個應用美味不用等來取號，可以在網上提前排隊取號，那就不用本人親身等待入座，真的超級方便的。

The interior design is in traditional Chinese Style.

餐廳以中式設計風格為主，有大量傳統圖案裝飾。

Long Spout Teapot Tea-Making Performance

店內有四川長嘴銅壺功夫摻茶表演，我也是第一次看，很獨特的體驗。把水壺設計成這樣是有實際的用途喔，熱水從長嘴流過，可以降低水的溫度，更適合泡茶。

Let's see what we order today~😋😋😋 我們來看看今天點了什麼食材吧 ~😋😋😋

In order to see their menu and place an order, you have to scan the QR code on the table with these three apps. If you don't have any of these app, you can download them with their free wifi.

店內並沒有紙質的菜單，只可以用微信，美團或大眾點評掃描桌上這個QR Code下單。

We ordered a spicy soup base with many Sichuan peppers, chillies and red chilli oil. We should have ordered the half spicy and half clear broth so we can put the veggies into the clear broth.

我們首先點了個微辣鍋底，我看到隔離桌的客人點了鍋中鍋，就是外圈紅湯，內圈是清湯，看到鍋底的辣油用量和上面漂浮的辣椒和底部各種辣椒🌶🌶🌶🌶天啊，早知道就應該點個鍋中鍋，只怪自己沒看清楚⋯

You can create your own dipping sauce, which is what you dip your cooked ingredients into before eating.

每個人都配有一罐特調芝麻油，可以增強風味和解辣，把芝麻油加入伴油碟再加上蒜蓉，葱，芫荽等配料。

After selecting the broth, we order the things we want to cook in it. There are many options include a wide range of meat, vegetables, tofu and noodles etc.
