活力的维维Ningbo Shangri-La Hotel enjoys an excellent geographical location and an unparalleled river view of Sanjiangkou. The Xiang Palace is located on the first and second floors of the hotel. The restaurant perfectly combines classic and modern, simple and fashionable with elegant and gorgeous. It is luxurious and elegant. There are 16 private rooms on the second floor. Each private room has an independent entrance and unique design. They are all named after flowers, such as "Peony Hall", "Lilac Hall" and "Hibiscus Hall". Xiang Palace combines Ningbo cuisine with Cantonese cuisine, and launches new dishes every season. The dishes are fresh and original, such as steak stewed with Fenghua taro: This dish uses taro heads from Qiange Village, Fenghua, because there is a yellow mud layer in the soil, and the taro grown here is the softest and most glutinous. When the yellow steak and taro heads are stewed, there is a fragrance. While the taro heads have a glutinous texture, they are very delicious because they absorb the gravy of the steak, which also reduces the greasiness of the steak. The steak is very large. Handmade Ningbo glutinous rice balls. His glutinous rice balls are different from other restaurants. No water is used during the whole process of kneading the dough, but milk and coconut milk are used. The sesame filling of the glutinous rice balls is sweet but not greasy, and the taste is smooth, especially the layer of osmanthus sprinkled on the surface, which is fragrant. The waiters speak softly and smile, and will actively recommend special dishes and change the bone dish in time.

The price is very small, you will be fooled if you don't look carefully, 48 each, you don't pay attention and think it is 48 per serving🤣 The fruit sent is actually a piece of sugar cane🤭 Two people ate 268, basically the price is not dared to order

D了个YThe breakfast restaurant of Park Hyatt Ningbo is located on the central axis behind the hotel lobby. There is a large terrace outside, facing the outdoor swimming pool and Dongqian Lake. The scenery is excellent. In spring and autumn, dining on the terrace is probably the most ideal way to have breakfast. Park Hyatt's quality control has always been good, and breakfast is no exception. There are many varieties and diverse choices. Chinese and Western styles, staples and snacks are all good. I have said before that usually there are two best ways to measure whether a hotel breakfast restaurant is attentive. 1. Is the fruit and vegetable juice freshly squeezed? There are several options. 2. How to cook eggs. Regardless of steaming, boiling, tea or pancakes, the more varieties the better. In addition, as a Ningbo specialty, the restaurant also provides glutinous rice balls and freshly made pancakes. Are there more choices? However, the recent peak season is estimated to be the peak season. This year's special situation, everyone knows, so there are more people in the restaurant, a little noisy, and the experience will be lacking in comfort.

饭醉分子闫涛Or so-called small seafood Jiangnan is really the place with the deepest cultural heritage. Before the fishing moratorium, I was invited to the Hilton Ningbo Dongqian Lake Huamao Hotel on the coast of the East China Sea. Qianhu Pavilion Chinese Restaurant had already prepared a dinner, and the theme was: or so-called spring. This was originally a poem by Mr. Yu Guangzhong describing Xiamen, but it did not prevent the restaurant's chef, Fenghua chef Wang Pingjie, who was from the same hometown as Jiang Gong, from cooking the local flavor that made him talk about it in detail with the proud small seafood of the East China Sea. From the South China Sea to the East China Sea, many seafood products have had "promotions in academic qualifications" and leaps in value. As a "mountain man" who has lived in Lingnan for a long time, I have been a bystander in the dispute over the flavor of the sea. In fact, it is a consensus in the circle that the hairtail and yellow plum head in the East China Sea are better than those in the South China Sea, but the complex nurtured by the taste always makes people look forward to and watch. I thought that the most magnificent seafood wave in the last century was the fresh seafood led by Cantonese cuisine, but in the new century, the new seafood trend is the small seafood fashion led by Zhejiang catering. After watching the food documentary "Small Seafood" shot by a local TV station, I couldn't help but sigh: It seems that I have to try a new way of eating. Before Master Wang's delicacies were served, the menu alone made me daydream - Grilled cuttlefish, chopped crab, jumping shrimp, monkfish, flower seed fish, hairtail jelly, yellow clam crab, moldy fish, Qianhu snails and sixteen pieces, just the introduction of the ingredients is enough to arouse my imagination, which is completely different from the two sides of the Pearl River where I often linger and drink. I once had a kind of river shrimp with huge claws in Nansha District, Guangzhou. Locals call it "drum shrimp". The cooking method is the common Cantonese cuisine of blanching. This evening, I ate this kind of shrimp again at the Dongqian Lake. It was renamed "jumping shrimp" and the cooking method was home-cooked with rich soup. When the soup was served, I wondered if it was the pepper pork tripe soup common in Cantonese cuisine? After a few sips, I found that the pepper pork tripe soup base was indeed fake, but there was also monkfish fish belly in it. Looking back on the past, the monkfish I ate in Shanwei area was mostly stewed with pickled cabbage. It is also common in Guangdong to steam fresh fish with salted fish, which is called "life and death love" or "human ghost love". There was a saying in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River that "the shad comes and the bream goes". Now that wild shad is nowhere to be found, bream has become a rare commodity. It is hard to say who borrowed from whose method to steam fresh bream with plum-flavored salted fish made by three exposures to the sun. I just think that the ancients thought bream was a low-grade product. It is really not as good as it used to be! The family-inherited dish that Master Wang personally performed in front of the opposite sex is called "flower seed fish". After listening to the introduction, I finally realized that it was actually the horse friend fish that I photographed and tasted many times this year. Shandong Laozhang's Spanish mackerel took advantage of the spring to swim into the Sichuan Wu on the banks of the Huangpu River, and then became pregnant and became a once-in-a-lifetime flower seed fish on the banks of Dongqian Lake. The method of home-cooking should come from Master Wang's muscle memory. The so-called "sixteen pieces" is a kind of bream similar to the golden drum fish on the coast of Guangdong. I have eaten many steamed tangerine peel methods, and it is naturally home-cooked when it falls into Master Wang's hands. This is not "Silent Spring", but a joyous feast. Even Mr. Jin Yong's son and a world-class pianist were invited to the scene. The so-called small seafood is ambitious. I wish Dongqian Lake a fortune.

If you don’t know much, it is recommended to ask the waiter to help you design the dishes. Recommended: 🥣Mushroom cream soup: a standard Western cream soup flavor, relatively diluted, and delicate taste. 🍶Sake-soaked abalone: a new product of the season, just the right fusion, the sake flavor is just soaked, the wine aroma is charming but not choking at all, the abalone is very fresh, and the meat is very tender. 🥭Mango pudding: a complimentary dessert, in the shape of egg yolk, very surprising, the smooth skin is filled with sweet and sour mango juice, very appetizing.

拖延小姐I have always wanted to come to this restaurant in Rihu. It is quiet in the bustling city. The restaurant is a bit old and the environment is very good. It was summer when I went to eat there. Fresh lychees were prepared as pre-meal fruits. The potato beef paste was very large and there was a lot of beef. The home-cooked day lily is a dish that is not usually made at home. The squid fried rice cake with squid ink and fish fried vermicelli are also the signature dishes of the old brand. The thick conch slices in soup are quite good. I have never liked things like soup. This conch slice has the thick feeling of conch meat, but it is still crispy and tender. Xiangsi large intestine is a must-order every time. I, who don’t like large intestines, can eat it very happily. I also ordered a few side dishes, Ninghai stir-fried and white water tofu, which are more homely. The tofu is delicious. Ninghai is naturally famous for its good tofu. The service is impeccable. Generally, if you have a banquet for Chinese food, Ninghai Restaurant is the first choice.
