many chinese restaurants offering local cuisine claim to offer "genuine" local food.but who can tell if that claim is correct?most of their customers would not know what"genuine"food tastes like, anyway,the secret to making a genuine plate of local grub is to make it with ingredients from the erea.Yuguifei(literally,imperial fish concubine),a restaurant offering Guizhou-style boiled fish in tomato soup and other Guizhou specialities,claims to do exactly that.the wild tomatoes used to make their hot pot soup are said to be transported from Guizhou. Wujiang River fish,a speciality of the region,is shipped to the capital,along with a number of other ingredients and seasonings.the sour tomato soup is served in a stainless steel basin on an electric-magnetic stove.First,the staff will get you a bowl of the soup to try before putting the pre-boiled fish in it.As well as Wujiagn River fish, they offer catfish,grass carp, black fish,and sea bass.the restaurant offers a special sauce to dip the fish in,which is a tasty mixture of preserved soy beans,preserved bean curd,and fried red chili and pieces of peanut.when you finish the fish,you can add the vegetables,beef and mushrooms into the tomato soup,as with an ordinary hot pot. other Guizhou specialities worth trying include the rice bean curd with chili sauce,Guizhou-style preserved pork and sausage and Guizhou rice noodles with beef.Steamed rice soup with eight treasures is a good mildly sweet dessert,with ingredients such as sunflower seeds and red beans.the sour sweet plum drinks and corn juice are also worth a try.
