The main branch of the Meilong Town Restaurant on Nanjing West Road is the unchanging sentiment of the old Shanghainese. The traditional dishes have been passed down from generation to generation. Although the chefs have changed, the cuisine has been preserved and has become the favorite of the old Shanghainese. The archway at the door is also in traditional style. Located in the city center, it welcomes diners from all over the country. The taste of various dishes will make you linger. The environment in the restaurant is also traditional, and the service is very thoughtful and meticulous. I have to eat there every time I go to Shanghai.
In addition to some drinks, there are fruit platters, rice flowers, and dried fruits such as melon seeds, pistachios, squid tentacles, fish fillets, bayberries, banana chips, etc. It's awesome.
I haven't been to this restaurant for a long time. I always feel different when I go there occasionally. The environment is very good and I like it! Meilongzhen Restaurant is named after the anecdote of Emperor Zhengde's private visit to the "Meilongzhen Tavern" in the classical Peking Opera "Dragon and Phoenix". It was founded in 1938. It mainly sells Yangbang snacks such as braised pork, boiled dried silk, soup dumplings, and stewed noodles. The founder of the restaurant is a Peking Opera lover, and the name of the restaurant is taken from a place name in the classical Peking Opera "Dragon and Phoenix". Meilongzhen Restaurant, opened in 1938, was originally located on Weihaiwei Road. It only had a storefront and a hall of about 60 square meters. With 70 years of careful grinding and refined tempering, Meilongzhen Restaurant has formed a unique style of "fragrant, tender and smooth, fragrant and mellow, one dish with one style, and hundreds of dishes with hundreds of flavors". With investment and funding from more than one hundred progressive figures in the literary and art circles, the business was continued by Wu Mei, a patriotic lady in the drama industry. In the winter of 1942, the business moved to its current location on Nanjing West Road. The business area expanded to more than 130 square meters and the number of employees increased to more than 60.
Meilong Town Restaurant, a real time-honored brand. The bustling Nanjing Road, the consistent Meilong Town. Private customization of Shi Meilin ~ Chef Zhou Xiaomin's private customized banquet. The banquet is for big guys. There are Yang in Sichuan, Sichuan cuisine Yang points, Sichuan and Yang merge. These twelve words are the truth. Recalling the foreign land of the past ~ Butterflies are also privately customized here ~ ~ Cold dishes: Foie liver is delicate, fragrant and not greasy, a thin slice is just right, appetizing without burden. Smoked fish. The smoked fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and crispy, and the heat is just right. One more point is too much, one less point is too little. Spring white abalone, the egg white is cut into thin petals, and at first glance it is also a shellfish. The abalone is crispy and delicious, without a trace of fishy smell. The hot and sour soup is used as the soup base, the taste is sour and slightly spicy, and the pepper powder seasoning plays a finishing touch. Once the appetite is opened, you can eat the next dish. Crab roe and river shrimp. The freshness of crab roe and the sweetness of shrimp are superimposed, and the taste of one plus one is greater than two. Now is the season for eating crabs. The crab roe is particularly full and the proportion is just right. It is so fresh that eyebrows fall down~ Wine-flavored crab legs Freshly peeled whole crab legs, with fresh crisp asparagus, refreshing and original flavor. The best fish in Shanghai is probably Meilong Town. It looks beautiful and tastes sweet. The fish meat is firm and elastic, and it is very tasty. The vegetables next to it are greasy and refreshing. It is just right to dip the noodles in the fish sauce. The meaning is also auspicious. The deliciousness of the fried river eel slices depends on the temperature and time of frying. Chef Zhou's skills are indeed well-deserved. Jujube paste pot cake The delicate jujube paste is wrapped in a crispy cake skin, and the surface is dotted with sesame seeds fried to overflowing with fragrance. It is sweet but not greasy. It is very suitable as a snack, after three rounds of wine, or as a dessert after dinner. The service attitude is also very good. The waiter changes the bone plates diligently without disturbing the guests.
Located in Meilong Town Square, it is the main store's own place, spacious and bright, with a high-end atmosphere and attentive service. Of course, the price is also very good, a little expensive. Stir-fried river shrimp, crab meat lion head, Yangzhou dried silk, Shanbei, large prawns, pine nut mandarin fish, crab meat steamed buns, crab meat shark's fin, which is really authentic and worth recommending for a full meal!
Located on Nanjing West Road, it is a good location. It is very famous in Shanghai. It was first established in 1938 by Peking Opera enthusiasts. It became a staff canteen during the Cultural Revolution. That was a dark period in China's history! It was later expanded! As for the food, let me introduce it: Sauce-flavored beef, the beef is very tender and well-seasoned. This cold dish is quite delicious. Shunfeng, I used to like their Xiangxi Shunfeng, but this time I felt that it was not as crispy as before. Smoked fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with moderate sweetness, even friends from other places can get used to it. Twice-cooked pork with pancake, this is both a dish and a staple food, the taste is relatively rich, and it is just right to eat with pancake. Yangzhou dried shredded silk, a Kung Fu dish, the dried shredded silk is cut very finely. Crystal shrimp, it really looks "crystal", the shrimp is very fresh, great! The red bean paste pot pancake is also a specialty. The pancake is quite crispy and the red bean paste inside is very fine.
The luxurious decoration style of Chinese classical style is extraordinary and suitable for business banquets. The price is not cheap, suitable for public spending and thoughtful service. Crab meat lion head, fried eel shreds, stinky tofu, stir-fried shrimp, braised pork, beef cubes and other local dishes are a good choice!
