椒爱-水煮鱼川菜

Came here on January 11, 2025.

This restaurant is a local home-style restaurant on the Nantong Must-Eat List, and it was on the way back to Shanghai, so I naturally stopped by. It can be said that it is worth a visit.

As soon as I arrived at the store, the &quot;old-fashioned&quot; style decoration inside and outside the store made people feel immersed in the drama in a second. The whole store restored the street scene of Nantong in the 1980s, which was very old-fashioned.

The dishes on the menu are mostly based on Nantong&#39;s traditional classic home-style dishes. Of course, there are also many new cooking methods, and the taste is very delicious. The most impressive ones are the 99-second yellow croaker and the mountain spring water original juice clams, which just proves the saying that &quot;good ingredients often only need simple cooking.&quot; Some other dishes are also very good. Nantong&#39;s dishes are very similar to Shanghai, but here you can taste the characteristics of Nantong.

The service of this restaurant is also very good. Although the store is busy, the waiters can still respond to customers&#39; needs in the first time. You don&#39;t have to worry about parking when dining at this restaurant. There are plenty of parking spaces where the restaurant is located, and you can enjoy 3 hours of free parking when dining in the restaurant. Just take care of it at the cashier before leaving.

The lamb shank pilaf is a true delicacy! The lamb shank is braised until tender and boneless, and the meat separates with a gentle tug. The meat is tender, juicy, and fragrant, and even the cracks between the bones are soaked with the essence of the spices. Served atop a bed of distinct long-grain rice, the golden, glossy rice is coated with the sweetness of carrots and onions, blending with the unique aroma of the lamb. Every bite is incredibly flavorful!

Let&#39;s talk about the service first. Did we disturb the staff by coming to eat in the middle of the night? We couldn&#39;t get them to come, and we had to find everything by ourselves, just like at home. This is not good... Did I come to a fake Haidilao...

[Pork Tripe and Chicken Hotpot]
I didn&#39;t expect the pork tripe here to be so delicious. It&#39;s not as soft as the ones stewed at home, but a little crispy, so we ordered another serving of pork tripe.

[Flaked Pork Slices]
It actually has the taste and texture of fat beef, without any greasy pork, which is amazing!

[Fish Cake]
This is similar to the tempura I had in Japan. It&#39;s delicious. I can eat two servings!

The environment is very good, the service of the lady is very thoughtful, the braised pork is delicious, the dishes ordered are very good, good reviews~

(You can also get a 50-yuan voucher by searching &quot;一序&quot; with the green software and completing the information) Unlimited M-grade Australian wagyu
Seafood, sashimi, foie gras, unlimited imported drinks
Super considerate and high-quality service
There are 4 packages to choose from (all member prices) Basic package: 129/person
Value package: 169/person and beef all-you-can-eat package: 209/person
M9 wagyu double flavor package: 239/person
The O239 package has one more Kansai M9 and snow crab than the 209 package, and the snow crab is limited to 5 portions per day, so the 209 package has the highest order rate.
Let me tell you about my true feelings about the Zone 9 set meal. Pot base ☆☆☆☆☆
The 6-person VIP box where the four of us sat had two induction cookers. We ordered two double pots, which means 4 flavors: [Sukiyaki pot] [Tom Yum soup base J [Fish maw chicken pot [Yellow curry pot Jo 
According to my preferences, I recommend Sukiyaki pot the most, with beef and wrapped in Chaoyi&#39;s egg liquid, which is the most mellow.
My best friend said that Tom Yum seafood hot pot is also a must! The fish maw chicken is also very delicious, but it can&#39;t be compared with the specialty store.
M-grade beef ☆☆☆☆
The most recommended is of course [M8 Australian Wagyu beef all-you-can-eat J, the color and texture of the meat are very beautiful, and it is still large and thick after blanching.
Because they are all freshly cut, the serving speed will not be very fast. The plate in the picture has 20 slices of meat, which is the amount of 5 servings.
We were arrogant at first, saying we would order 100 portions of meat, but we ended up eating about 30 portions, so we quickly told the waiter to stop!
For those who love meat, it&rsquo;s best not to order other meats, just go for the M8 all-you-can-eat! Because after eating the M8, other meats are inferior.
[Superb Sashimi Platter] ☆☆☆☆
One pot is limited to one per table, and the quantity is very large! Arctic scallops, salmon, sweet shrimp, the ingredients are of high quality!
[Big Kinwan Seafood Hotpot ☆☆☆☆☆
The hot special seafood is placed on the &quot;boat&quot;! Big abalone, black tiger shrimp, mussels, basa fish, oysters... As a seafood lover, I feel satisfied as if I went out to sea!
Special dishes ☆☆☆☆
[Must order beef tongue! The presentation and taste are very nice! [A large piece of caramelized foie gras with hawthorn sauce, fat and delicate. [Lamb chops] The roasting temperature is just right. I don&rsquo;t usually like to eat lamb, but this one is marinated with spices and has no smell at all.
Desserts☆☆☆☆
[Jasmine White Peach Daifuku] A good choice for everyone, but not too outstanding.
[Golden Rat with Mango and Sago J The shape looks a bit weird. I thought it was pudding, but it tasted like mango and sago. The texture of ice cream is very special! Highly recommended! [Caramel pudding is just so-so, not much different from the ones outside.
[Ice cream] There are five flavors, caramel and egg yolk are must-order! Super rich, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth after eating.

[Location]
On the first floor of Zhongnan Century City, near the southeast corner, opposite Coco

[Environment]
The hall is very bright, one side faces the interior, there are many seats, there are tables for two and four, there are also glass &quot;viewing seats&quot; facing the interior of the mall, the kitchen is open

[Service]
You can order at the front desk, or you can order on your mobile phone and pick up the food by calling your number

[Dishes]
It&#39;s average, not outstanding, but there are no shortcomings. Maybe the amount of braised pork rice is a little less, and the rice cools down quickly when it&#39;s cold. The soy milk is still good, and the 25 yuan set meal is still very cost-effective
