Wei Ding Xuan

We happened to pass by this place when we were in Tianjin City Walk at night. We thought it was just a place, but later we found it was a place similar to a tourist attraction. There is also a restaurant inside where you can eat, but the price seems not cheap~ We happened to meet someone who was drunk and came out, and found a designated driver. It seems that eating inside is not cheap. I checked the menu and it seems not cheap!

This is a high-end restaurant serving Tianjin private dishes. It is located on Chengxiang Middle Road in Tianjin. It was originally the residence of Cao Kun and is a garden house. The food here tastes good and the service is also very good. It is worth tasting.

Located at No. 36 Gulou North Street, it is a ceiling of private dishes, a restaurant with history, culture and flavor. It is a very good experience. You can take a walk in the garden, not only to eat, but also to taste history!

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were virtuous, and their achievements were great. The Five Hegemons made history in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their rise and fall happened in an instant! There are a few names in the history books, and countless barren hills in Beimang; the fields of the ancestors are harvested by the descendants, so what is the point of talking about the fight between dragons and tigers? ——Feng Menglong, Records of the Warring States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Everyone, please keep silent and listen to me carefully. Tianjin is located at the junction of nine rivers and connected by boats and vehicles to seven provinces. It has always been the seaport and eastern gate of the capital Beijing. Therefore, in modern China, no city has suffered as many foreign invasions as Tianjin; no city has so closely linked its fate with the fate of the country as Tianjin. Every major event in China's modern history has to be performed in the Haihe River and demonstrated through Tianjin. The changing situation in Tianjin and the ebb and flow of the tides on both sides of the Haihe River are actually a microcosm of modern Chinese history. As the saying goes, “A century of China can be seen in Tianjin.” This is the former residence of Cao Kun's fourth concubine. In just a hundred years, it has become a landmark food symbol in Tianjin. It is true that "the swallows in front of the halls of the Wang and Xie families in the old days have flown into the homes of ordinary people." Let's get back to the story. Today, my old man is meeting with old friends. I chose Wei Dingxuan. Cao Mansion on his behalf. The location is quiet and unconventional in the bustling city. The dishes are traditional and keep up with the times. The scene is integrated. There is a poem to prove it: A pot of old wine to meet old friends, meeting old friends, old friends are like old wine. Old friend sighs about good wine! The Cao Mansion is one of the former residences of Beiyang warlord Cao Kun, where he and his last concubine lived for a long time. It is a typical courtyard-style building that combines Chinese and Western styles. The main building is the three-story European-style brick and wood structure building facing you. Cao Kun was fond of making friends, so his home was rarely crowded with people. Every time a distinguished guest came to visit, the fourth concubine would always cook and prepare a banquet herself. Among them, the Mansion's Four Happiness Bowl was made with the finest duck, beef, and braised pork. It was not greasy, and was delicious and beautiful. It was one of the must-have dishes for Cao Kun and his fourth concubine to entertain relatives and friends; the crispy lin river fish has a rich taste that penetrates the meat, and it has a unique flavor when eaten with the scales; the Tianjin-style old mixed dishes make people feel like they are back in their childhood...; In addition, let’s talk about Tianjin’s "vegetarian stew", there is a very famous vegetarian dish in Wuqing, Tianjin - vegetarian stew. Vegetarian stew is a dish suitable for people of all ages. In Wuqing, every household makes it, but the taste of each one is different. Use seven out of ten of your intelligence, leaving three for your children and grandchildren. If you use all ten, your children and grandchildren will all be inferior to others. It is better to leave behind the spirit of hard work than to leave behind money and property; it is better to leave behind the confidence to start a business than to leave behind a house and land.

The Cao Mansion next to the Drum Tower has a good environment, clean and tidy, and the architectural style is particularly suitable for taking pictures. After entering, I happened to encounter a wedding, and the layout was very good. I am a foodie. I thought the dishes would be small from the pictures, but when I actually came up, I found that there were quite a lot of dishes. I had a party with friends and ate in Room A3. The waiter was very good and introduced the dishes to us in detail. It is worth a thumbs up

This is my second time to taste the food in this restaurant, which is located at the intersection of Gulou Chengxiang Middle Road, close to Chonghua Middle School. This used to be Cao Kun’s villa, with pavilions and towers, and an elegant environment. The restaurant mainly serves Tianjin local dishes, such as Laobao San Layer Jumping Carp, Three Fresh Pot Stickers, etc., which are all authentic Tianjin dishes with authentic taste and traditional flavor. There are also several special dishes of this restaurant that are very good.
