Qian XiangGe (BiYun)

Qianxiang Pavilion, as the name suggests, is a restaurant featuring Guizhou culture and food. There are several chain restaurants in Shanghai, each with its own characteristics. This one in Biyun has moved the structure of the old house as it is, and there are also Miao silver jewelry on display. The dishes are as fresh as ever, and the cooking shows the Guizhou flavor.

Qianxiangge is the most famous Guizhou restaurant in Shanghai. It has several branches, and this one is located in the Biyun community in Jinqiao, Pudong. The restaurant is quite large, with 3 floors, and the large private rooms are mainly on the 3rd floor. The private room for 10 people is not big, and the lighting is a bit dim. The minimum consumption is 2,000 yuan. Our group of 9 people chose the 2,600 yuan set meal for 6-8 people. The set meal includes 6 cold dishes + 8 hot dishes + 1 soup + 1 staple food. The set meal includes Guizhou's famous dishes such as Wujiang fish, Guizhou soft-shelled turtle, fried crab, braised chicken, Guizhou black bean pepper fried prawns, etc., as well as millet residue. Frankly speaking, this set meal is a bit expensive. If you are just eating with family and friends, there is no need to order a set meal.

Today I went to the Qianxiang Pavilion in Biyun Mega to eat. This Qianxiang Pavilion is a relatively good hotel in Biyun, and it is relatively crowded. Qianxiang Pavilion serves Guizhou cuisine, but many dishes are also Shanghai-style. Guizhou cuisine does not have seafood, but Qianxiang Pavilion does. Guizhou cuisine has dried chili peppers, which Qianxiang Pavilion does not provide and are not that spicy. In addition, the Guizhou characteristics are retained, but they are more Shanghai-style, so that people will eat them. Overall, it's okay. Today I ordered mutton soup, braised meat platter, sweating chicken, etc.

The only Chinese restaurant in the Biyun Foreign Affairs Community that is the most stylish and rich in the characteristics of the Miao people in the southwest. Several traditional Miao costumes and silver jewelry are placed on one side of the hall. The dining table and guest seats are made of Huanghuali wood in the Ming Dynasty classical style. The layout is very grand and luxurious, and the lighting is elegant. I ordered the recommended night sweat chicken and tripe with lettuce on the menu. The chicken is tender and smooth, and the taste is quite unique.

I ate it at Qianxiang Pavilion on Huaihai Middle Road many years ago, and this time I tried this one in Biyun Community, Pudong. The night sweat chicken is said to be steamed without water. The chicken is very tender, and it is all legs and wings, no other parts. The chicken soup is very fresh, I think it can be given 85 points. The pepper and sesame sea bass should be fried and then poured with sauce. The taste is crispy, but it is a bit salty if you eat too much. The shredded chicken fried with dried shreds, rice noodles and spicy bullfrog are just average. The spring water lettuce tastes slightly bitter, but it is very greasy. The lighting in the store is dim, and the service is good. 150 yuan per person.
