There is no trivial matter in people's livelihood, and the branches and leaves are always related. Pension services are related to people's livelihood and people's hearts, and Yangpu has always taken pension services as an important livelihood project to grasp, from pension to "enjoy the old", weaving a dense pension "service network".
In order to show the achievements of the development of elderly care services in the urban area, the Yangpu District Civil Affairs Bureau and the Yangpu District Financial Media Center jointly launched the column "Taste Walk: Happy Elderly Care on the Tip of the Tongue", taking everyone into the elderly canteen in the district and telling about the happy pension life on the "tip of the tongue".
When it comes to eating, places with a lot of "repeat customers" are generally not wrong. Located at No. 521 Longchang Road, Longchang Road Good Neighbor Kitchen, Dinghai Road Street, opened in January 2021 and was transformed from the Dinghai Road Street Life Service Center. Open the food review software, this community elderly canteen was praised by diners as "affordable price", "good taste" and "first choice for the elderly...... Walking into the store, the residents who ate also praised it, "I don't get tired of eating every day!" ”
The store serves breakfast, lunch and dinner three meals a day, with nearly 40 kinds of dishes in each meal. Large meat, pork chops, sea bass...... Everything is delicious and inexpensive, and there are countless repeat customers.

Specialties grab the taste buds
Braised pork and "palm-sized" pork cutlet
The meat dishes of Longchang Road Good Neighbor Chef focus on a "real". One of the signature products, braised pork, is biased towards the south of the milk meat in color, and the taste is sweet, one piece is one serving, about 3.5 taels to 4 taels, which is solid and square. Such a delicacy is priced at 12 yuan per serving, and the price is 10.56 yuan after swiping the senior card.
Every day when this dish is put on the shelves, at 7 o'clock in the morning, the kitchen starts to make it: bone-in pork belly is selected, manually cut, washed with water and "fried". After frying, the meat pieces are then fired with soy sauce, sugar, star anise, cinnamon, thirteen spices and other seasonings, and finally poured red bean curd juice to color and remove from the pot, which is full of color, flavor and flavor. "The meat eaten by the elderly should not be too hard to bite, but it should not be too bad to eat. For this reason, we fry the meat pieces first and then burn them, which can achieve crispy, soft and glutinous in the mouth, and will not be soft and tumble. Chef Zhang introduced.
The sales of braised pork are quite high, and many residents love this affordable and delicious mouthful, and often need to "replenish" in a basin of rice. "The meat is solid, sweet, and we are used to it. Every time I serve this dish, I have to take a portion. Mr. Wang, a resident, praised.
Another popular meat dish is tonkatsu. A piece of pork chop is the size of a palm, thin and firm, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. "The pork chops are marinated in a secret sauce and then fried with breadcrumbs so that they will taste like a sauce." Chef Zhang said, "This is an improvement from the old Shanghai pork cutlet. ”
Chef Zhang has been engaged in the catering industry in Shanghai for more than 20 years. During this period, the tastes of Shanghainese diners are constantly changing. "At first, everyone preferred sweet and salty and spicy food, but now it is a fusion of flavors from all over the world. And our menu must be constantly updated to keep up with everyone's preferences. ”
"Small but fine" is constantly fresh
Freshly cooked and freshly cooked deliciousness is constantly "rotating"
Longchang Road Good Neighbor Kitchen covers an area of 237 square meters, although it is not large, but it has a unique "small but fine" beauty. Every day at 11 p.m., the food is fragrant behind the transparent glass windows. The neat two rows of dishes are classified into meat and vegetables, freshly roasted and cooked, and steamed.
And at breakfast, the menu features dozens of dim sum items to kick off your day. Snacks such as fried dough sticks, flatbreads, open smiles, and hair cakes can be sold until the evening, and business is still good.
According to Manager Wang, the person in charge, the kitchen "contracted" the supply of three meals a day, but because the supply window was small and the dishes that could be put out at the same time were limited, the "rotation mechanism" was adopted. According to experience, before 12 noon every day, it belongs to the concentrated dining period for the elderly, which is mainly open to serve the local dishes that the elderly love to eat, and at the same time, the kitchen continues to cook new dishes. After 12 noon, young office workers start to eat at the restaurant, and salty and spicy dishes such as spicy stir-fried pork and chopped pepper fish head can be put on the shelves.
In addition, in order to keep the public fresh, the canteen's menu is constantly "refreshed" and new dishes are constantly being made. "We have a small number of classics that are served almost every day, but many more are changed every day." Manager Wang said, "Although the food supply window is small, our original intention of providing high-quality service to diners remains the same. ”
In order to do a good job in serving the elderly, Longchang Road Good Neighbor Kitchen adheres to the price of being close to the people. Seasonal vegetables are 5 yuan a serving, small meat such as fried shredded pork and shredded pork with rotten paste are between 5-8 yuan, and large meat such as steamed pork, braised meat, pineapple guru meat and other pieces are between 12-18 yuan. Elderly people can enjoy an 8.8% discount when they consume with a senior card. "We have calculated that if the elderly eat a large meat, a small meat stir-fry, a free soup, and a bowl of rice for a meal, it is basically within 20 yuan after the discount of the senior card." Manager Wang said.
"Create a reassuring restaurant for the elderly", this sentence posted on the glass outside the kitchen, is a reflection of the purpose of serving the elderly. The happiness on the tip of the tongue is at the "doorstep" of Yangpu people......
