拖延小姐Before coming here, I had the impression that Haiwei Shijia was a good high-end Ningbo restaurant. After coming here, I had to change my impression to "excellent"
The single-family building of Mingzhouli Store is full of low-key luxury. The Maotai collection on the walls alone is worth a lot of money
The cold dishes served first are quite exquisite
[Grilled Yellow Beef with Sauce]
Although this is the least attractive among the cold dishes, it can't stop the excellent taste. The texture of the beef is clear, and the taste of the grilled sauce is also infiltrated into the beef. It is very delicious
[Single-headed Garlic Crab Jelly]
A little creative, crab sticks It tastes very refreshing when eaten frozen
[Stir-fried bamboo clams]
Change the usual way of eating bamboo clams, cut them into small pieces, add seasoning to taste, easy to eat, and the shape is also beautiful
Salmon sashimi, seafood red crab, seafood crab pieces
A very impressive cold dish. On the table of Ningbo people, no meal is complete without salted crab. 2 plates of different crabs, one plate is more traditional, and the other plate is more sweet. Both are very good crabs
French foie gras, celibate beef tripe
The shape is quite attractive, the foie gras is made into a mousse texture, and the beef tripe tastes good
Hot dishes are the main focus Drama
[Wild yellow croaker in an open oven]
Not only is it eye-catching, a wild yellow croaker weighing 3 jin is already very rare. Cooking it with fish bone soup and traditional pickles is indescribably delicious and unforgettable. I hope it can be passed down
[Shad with fermented rice wine]
Shad is steamed with scales, the juice underneath is rich in flavor, and fermented rice wine is added, which is very interesting
[Crab bone sauce, boiling grouper]
These two dishes can be seen in many restaurants in Ningbo in recent years, and Haiwei Shijia is the first to make them, so they can be said to be the original
[ Honey Sweet Potato]
At first glance, the sweet potato looks like an enlarged version of the red date core. The sweet potato itself is very sweet, and it also has the sweetness of honey.
The fried tofu barbecue, the tradition is still not lost, using the fried tofu from Ninghai
The oil residue taro soup, also has the familiar old taste
One acre of land, small green vegetables planted in flower pots, the most tender part in the middle is selected, sweet and crispy, knowing these, the "stir-fried greens" at 98 yuan is still reasonable
Glutinous rice blocks, the first time to eat such glutinous rice blocks, the lard sesame filling is really great, it is hard to resist

✈️: Ningbo·Zhejiang In the Xia and Shang dynasties, Ningbo was called "Yin". In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the territory of Yue State. In the Qin Dynasty, there were four counties in the present territory: Yin, Yan, Juzhang, and Yuyao (one said it was established in the early Western Han Dynasty). In the Tang Dynasty, it was called "Mingzhou". In the first year of Tang Changqing (821), the government of Mingzhou was moved to Sanjiangkou and the inner city was built, marking the beginning of the construction of Ningbo. In the 14th year of Ming Hongwu (1381), it was renamed Ningbo with the meaning of "the sea is calm and the waves are peaceful", and it has been used till now. In the 15th year of Qing Shunzhi (1658), Ningshaotai Road was established and stationed in Ningbo. 📖Language: Wu dialect Taihu dialect-Yongjiang dialect ——— 🍽Recommended restaurants: 1️⃣ Xinrongji (Zhongshan East Road) —Picture 3 💰Average consumption: 998 yuan 🕐Business hours: 11:00-14:00 17:30-21:30 👍Recommended dishes: Crispy pigeon, golden crispy hairtail, fried bean noodles with sand garlic 📌Address: 2nd floor, Huarong Building, No. 223 Songxia Street ——— 2️⃣ Haiwei Shijia·Benwei Restaurant (Mingzhou Branch) —Picture 3 💰Average consumption: 750 yuan 🕐Business hours: 11:00-13:30 17:00-20:30 👍Recommended dishes: seafood, boiling grouper, pickled crab 📌Address: No. 7 Villa, Huamao Yuefeng, No. 98 Zhongwang Road ——— 3️⃣ Sushi Kappoman —Figure 3 💰Average consumption: 1667 yuan 🕐Business hours: 11:00-14:00 17:30-22:00 👍Recommended dishes: Wagyu wrapped sea urchin, sashimi, prawns and sea urchin Sushi 📌Address: Building 5, Cultural Plaza, No. 1999 Zhongshan East Road ——— 4️⃣ Best Hotpot Fresh Bar (Heyi Road Store) —Figure 5 💰Average consumption: 1270 yuan 🕐Business hours: 11:00-13:30 17:00-21:30 👍Recommended dishes: Chicken fish maw soup base, Angus beef, Hong Kong-style fried bell 📌Address: 3F3015B, Zone C, Heyi Shopping Center, No. 66, Heyi Road ——— 5️⃣ cherie Flower Kitchen —Figure 6 💰Average consumption: 855 yuan 🕐Business hours: 10:00-21:00 Recommended dishes: salmon, Australian lamb chops, hairy crabs 📌Address: D4, No. 22, Lane 12, Liangzhu Cultural Park, Liangzhu Road ——— 📝Tips: Although the food is good, the consumption is relatively expensive.

#Local delicacies Of course you have to try seafood when you come to Ningbo. I chose the Black Pearl Restaurant, which serves dishes in the open stall. The dining environment and service awareness are good. The variety of seafood is comparable to that of Laobian Restaurant in Taizhou, but the quality is slightly inferior and the price is slightly higher [covering face] The female swimming crab is very plump. The crab bone sauce I chose is sour and salty. I personally feel that it somewhat covers the original taste of seafood. I still prefer steaming or scallion oil. The bean curd skin yellow croaker roll is quite good. I finished it all on one plate and still felt a little unsatisfied [strong] This special big plum fish really didn’t taste delicious [covering face] Abalone soup is fresh and tender, and the soup is rich. It is worth recommending [strong] The overall seafood quality is guaranteed, and the price is not low, but considering the local consumption level, it is also reasonable [snickering] Thank you for another wonderful encounter [love] [rose]
