YANG ZHOU YAN

I always thought that the specialty of Yangzhou Banquet was Huaiyang cuisine, and the "Wang Zengqi Family Banquet" was the most impressive. But I didn't expect that the morning tea of ​​Yangzhou Banquet was also quite good, comparable to Quyuan Tea House. Needless to say, the environment of Yangzhou Banquet is naturally good by the bank of Slender West Lake. The atmosphere of the morning tea here is simple and grand, without any extra decorations, and everything is based on the scenery. In addition to the classic hot dried silk, five-shaped buns, bean paste buns, siomai, and crab roe buns, a few cold dishes are also delicious. The portion looks small, but it is just right. It is worth mentioning that the morning tea here also incorporates Cantonese tea snacks, the most eye-catching of which are black bean sauce chicken feet and swan cakes.

How can you not come to Yangzhou for a Yangzhou banquet? It happened that my trip to Yangzhou coincided with my father's birthday, so I had to arrange a Yangzhou banquet. I booked a private room in advance. There is a minimum consumption for the private room, and it is a set meal. (I found that all Yangzhou restaurants are in the form of set meals) And the restaurant charges 300 yuan per person, and the store provides side dishes. A staff member added WeChat in advance to contact the dining arrangements. The environment of the private room is still good, antique, and there are refreshments and snacks for people in the room. The service is still OK. Serving the dishes is equivalent to opening a blind box, and local specialties will be added. The dishes are OK and the food is still good. It would be even better if guests could be given the opportunity to order by themselves.

Tourism has recovered, and Yangzhou's famous restaurants have to queue up for meals! I came to get a number for Yangzhou Banquet at 16:40 yesterday, but I couldn't get a number. The staff said that the number would be issued at 16:30, and I came to queue up at 3:30, and successfully got a small table number 9, the first batch to enter for dinner. Yangzhou fried rice is well-deserved, it is really delicious, the rice grains are distinct, there are shrimps, scallops, fish, peas, etc., it is not dry or oily when eaten, and the taste is quite good. Boiled dried silk I have only eaten their family, so there is no way to compare, but the taste is really good. Rice cake yellow croaker The yellow croaker is average, the rice cake is delicious at the first bite, glutinous, and the sauce is rich, but the more you chew, the more greasy it is, and it tastes like coconut at the end. The key is that the waiting time is still relatively long. There is no need to order if there are few people, you can change to other dishes.

It is right opposite the Slender West Lake, next to the hotel I stayed in. It is also quite famous, with antique Chinese-style building signs, which are very charming. However, the service needs to be improved. I walked to the second building, and there was no one in the lobby outside. Then I walked through this and walked inside. Only a passing waiter found me and led me to my seat. The attitude is really average, and the price is a bit expensive, especially the Yangzhou fried rice, which is 58 yuan per portion, which is too expensive. It is either a small stir-fry or a large pot of stir-fry, and each person scoops a portion. In general, the taste of the dishes is average and the price is expensive, but there is nothing to eat around, so I can only make do with it.

A relatively high-end restaurant in Yangzhou, located at the east gate of Slender West Lake, suitable for dinner after shopping. The courtyard is antique and has a lot of style. The dishes are quite satisfactory. The famous Huaiyang dish, fried eel shreds, is very good. Maybe because there are good restaurants in remote areas of Yangzhou, most of them are not so amazing, but the environment is really good!
