Background
About He Cheng
The Story
He Cheng is a Chinese restaurant established in Barcelona in 1997. The menu is built around the traditional cuisine of Qingtian, a small county on the Oujiang River in eastern China, where the family's roots lie. Typical Qingtian dishes such as noodle soups, wonton soup, and marinated chicken-foot salad sit alongside house specialties like Qingtian-style braised pork trotter and star-shaped raviolis.
The Cuisine
The kitchen makes its noodles, dumplings, and raviolis by hand every day, following family recipes. The house raviolis are prepared with a potato-starch dough that gives them a distinctive texture rarely found outside Qingtian, and the 'pata de cerdo al estilo Qingtian' is marinated for more than 24 hours before being slow-cooked.
The Team
He Cheng is family-run, with the family's Qingtian recipes guiding the kitchen since 1997.
