First Meal Back in Shanghai at Jinmao · Jinjiang Hotel Jinjiang Hotel is still as stunning as ever! The restaurant is right next to Yongfu. The meal started with four beautifully plated appetizers: the smoked fish had an incredibly crispy outer layer with perfectly balanced sauce, the salted chicken was packed with flavor, the jellyfish head was super crunchy and refreshing, and the dish was garnished with cucumber for an extra touch. There was also tofu skin stuffed with mushrooms and carrots—light and delicious!

Classic cars at the door, new or old old western-style buildings, Bougainvillea in the fitness center, The small waterfall at the corner of the red wall, Visible through the skylight, the green parasol trees on Changle Road, And every afternoon tea time, There is no background music on the stairs or in the elevator. Guys and Dolls who can also dance to their own beats... It all shows that this century-old brand Still charming…

Jinjiang Hotel's British Gothic-style Jinbei Building was built in 1925. The 13-story building combines the excellent architecture of the 1920s with the decorative style of the 1980s. Whether it's the crab leg staircase, copper door iron decoration, or the unique floor indicator clock in the elevator hall, it still exudes a classic and perfect temperament after more than 70 years of wind and rain. Jinjiang Hotel, founded by Ms. Dong Zhujun, a pioneer of the Chinese women's rights movement from Nantong, is located on Maoming Road in the city center and is a garden-style hotel. It has received nearly 300 heads of state and government from more than 100 countries, as well as many merchants and tycoons. The hotel's north building was built in 1929, and its architectural features integrate European traditional style and modern facilities. In July 1999, the newly renovated North Building reopened, with facilities configured to five-star standards. The reopening also included a Jinjiang Small Auditorium that once witnessed the Sino-US Joint Shanghai Communique. The renovated Jinjiang North Building not only retains some of the styles of the past, but also adds modern facilities and decorations, becoming a luxury hotel building in Shanghai.

Tokyo Miji Yakitori, hidden on Maoming South Road, is indeed worthy of its reputation. Even the strong wind and heavy rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of the diners, and the seats were quickly filled during meal time. It is said that the chef worked in a Michelin restaurant in Tokyo for many years. Although local ingredients are used, the ritual of roasting the bird on the spot satisfies the diners' stomachs, bodies and minds. It is also a joy to quietly enjoy the full set of dishes prepared by the autumn chef alone. I am full of anticipation just by looking at the menu before eating. Skewers are their signature dish. Ordinary ingredients, simple presentation, but whether it’s meat or vegetables, you can feel the chef’s great cooking skills with just one bite. Personally, I prefer chicken meatballs, which are first brushed with sauce and then grilled. The meat is plump and juicy, and fresh lotus roots and green onions are added. The skin of the chicken thighs with skin is very crispy, and the chicken is tender and juicy. It can be said that it is delicious even when eaten alone. The chicken wing roots are full of fat and flavor, with a solid texture, and green peppers and mushrooms added to enhance the flavor. Eel is also my favorite. The fish skin is covered with sauce, and the meat is tender, firm and elastic. Eggplant, shredded cabbage and other refreshing side dishes are interspersed throughout the meal, and their attentiveness can be seen in the details. "Wasabi Chicken Breast" is grilled chicken tenderloin with celery and seaweed, and the seasoning is just right. The "Bamboo Fungus Wrapped Crab Zhenzhang Bowl" is suitable for drinking the soup first, which is so fresh that the whole body is crispy, and then eating the smooth bamboo fungus wrapped crab. The "Mushroom Chicken Rice" not only uses minced chicken, but also uses matsutake, oyster mushrooms, chanterelles, and king oyster mushrooms. I thought I was full and just wanted to try a little, but unfortunately I couldn't control myself after one bite and finished the whole bowl. The "Autumn Moon Pear" before the meal and the ice cream after the meal were the finishing touches. I would give full marks to this taste bud journey accompanied by the curling smoke.

| Black Pearl Three Diamond Restaurant - Enjoy authentic Ningbo cuisine.- I decided to treat myself to a good meal for my upcoming birthday, so I booked a table at the Black Pearl Three Diamond Restaurant, which was recommended by a friend, to try some traditional Ningbo cuisine - Yongfu. 📍【Location】12F, Jinbei Building, Jinjiang Hotel, 59 Maoming South Road. You can take subway line 13 to Huaihai Middle Road🚇 and walk to the restaurant. If you drive, there is a parking lot inside, which is very convenient. 🌱【Environment】The overall decoration and environment have a retro taste of old Shanghai, low-key and elegant. Most of the seats in the hall are 4-6 person round tables, and there are also private rooms for group meals. 💓【Dishes】 Chilled crayfish🦞, the crayfish are large, with the original fresh taste of crayfish and a hint of wine. They will ask if you need help peeling the shells. Pan-fried hairtail🐟, the selected hairtail is golden in color, with crispy skin and tender and fat meat. The service is so considerate that they can even help you remove the fish bones. White crab bone sauce🦀️, I love to eat crabs, but I am usually troubled by the process of shelling crabs. The crabs here are cut according to the texture, and the thickening makes the taste softer. You can easily eat the meat when you bite it. The salty and fresh taste is my favorite. Yellow croaker lion's head🍥, a delicate small bowl of soup, the lion's head made of yellow croaker meat is tender and smooth, and the soup base is delicious. 🎈【Service】Each table has corresponding service staff. In addition to the introduction of dishes during the meal, they also pay attention to other needs. They are really meticulous and it is a very pleasant dining experience.
