斌哥烧腊(罗定店)

I took my family to a soup restaurant the other day, and the owner specially scooped two pork bones out of the pot for me, saying he'd simmered them all afternoon and the broth was full of meaty flavor. The slow-cooked soup was indeed flavorful; you could taste the real ingredients in the meat and bone broth, not the artificially flavored kind. I suggest you tell the owner you want pork bones when you order soup; he usually will give them to you, at least he did that time.

I saw it while passing by the Luoding bus station; the window was full of roasted meats, so I went in to try it. The owner was quite friendly, asking if I wanted to try this or that. The roast duck was alright; the skin wasn't particularly crispy, but the meat wasn't dry. The accompanying plum sauce was interesting. Anyway, it's fine for a quick meal on the way, but not worth making a special trip for.

Someone offered me soup as soon as I entered, which was quite heartwarming. It was a bit chilly that day, and a sip made me feel much better. The food was just average; nothing bad, but nothing particularly surprising either, probably because I ordered mostly home-style dishes. The ambiance was okay, not too noisy, suitable for a casual meal. The prices were also reasonable, not expensive at all; I, being a fairly easy-going person, thought it was acceptable.
