It's not just about dining; I watched a gourmet show at the Lijing Robbins

Besides the hotel, the restaurant at Chongqing Lijing is also renowned, with Robbins Western Restaurant being listed in the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide for four consecutive years, the only Western cuisine restaurant in the Chongqing area to make the list. Guests come to dine before noon, and many tables are already set with balloons and petals, as people choose this place to celebrate their anniversaries. The restaurant hall has 50 seats and also offers a teppanyaki private room. The decor retains classic Chinese style while incorporating elements of Chongqing. The windows feature a unique design made of metal wires that depict scenes of life, recreating the past and present of Chongqing, with its closely packed small houses, hotpot restaurants, and teahouses. 🥗 Before dining, start with the self-service salad bar Create your own plate of favorite sides. The colorful presentation is appetizing, with corn shoots, chicken head rice, lotus seeds, chestnuts, taro, king prawns, matsutake slices, fresh seafood, and exquisite desserts. It's recommended not to be greedy and take too much at once! The main course is the highlight. 🔥 In the private room, everyone sits together Listening to the chef's personal explanation and watching the live cooking of dishes, this has already become an immersive dining experience that goes beyond the food itself. The chef will prepare the day's dishes based on the different weather and environment. When it rains in Chongqing, he stewed old hen soup for us, and before the main course, a refreshing sweet dessert with a sweet orange flavor to restore the taste buds. The main course makes a grand entrance, with fresh sapphire shrimp, lively prawns, the chef's pride and joy bone-in Rossini beef, and small tomahawk steaks... The steak is charred on the outside and tender inside. The chef loves cooking and enthusiastically shares with everyone the ingredients he uses, the seasonings he chooses, and proudly shares the process of his hands-on development and blending. He says the salt used for the steak is called 'pre-Qingming salt,' made from tea leaves harvested before Qingming. The food brings us enjoyment, and the chef's passionate process of creating food touches our hearts even more. 🎂 Robbins surprise moment A waiter suddenly pushes in a cart and makes a chestnut cake on the spot, bringing a birthday surprise to little Mo who is about to have a birthday.
