Gui Hua Lou

One of the restaurant week check-ins, good value for money. Although the decoration of the restaurant is a bit old, the overall environment is still quite comfortable, the service is also very good, and you can park for free when dining, which is quite convenient. I have tried a lot of Huaiyang cuisine recently, and the level of Guihualou is [strong][strong]. The dishes are traditional, without too many fancy plating, but the taste is very satisfactory, the overall taste is light, and it is fresh. In addition, I ordered the pepper and sesame Wenchang chicken, which is very good, with a thin outer layer, a crispy texture, and a light pepper and sesame flavor.

At noon on a weekday, I ordered a set meal for China Restaurant Week for 148. |Double-flavor platter^ Crispy eel and braised pork. The crispy eel tastes sweeter and is over-fried. It tastes a bit like softened puffed food. The braised pork is quite normal. |Crab roe stewed lion head^ Lion head is a specialty of Huaiyang cuisine. It is very soft and sticky, and the seasoning is also excellent. The green vegetables can also neutralize the greasiness of the meat. However, there is less crab roe and it is basically not tasted. |Crab roe pumpkin chicken head rice^ The chicken head tastes chewy and chewy. It tastes fresh when eaten with crab roe. There should be egg shreds in it to enrich the taste. Of course, the cost is controlled, and the crab roe is also less, so the freshness is slightly worse. |XO sauce shrimp balls^ The shrimp balls taste chewy and have no fishy smell. The XO sauce is well seasoned. There are a few slightly bitter asparagus at the bottom. | Stir-fried seasonal vegetables^ It was stir-fried spinach, with the old roots removed, and astringent, slightly wok-fried flavor, reflecting the standard of a large restaurant |Yangchun noodles^ The seasoning was slightly light, the noodles were soft and not chewy, average. Restaurant Week is still an attractive marketing method. With limited costs, businesses will not display their signs. You can try nearby, but there is no need to go there specifically.

I took my mom to Guihualou for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. The set meal for two included drunken crab and crab roe lotus. It was also a good time to eat crab. The portion was very good. The female crab was more than 300 grams, and the crab roe was enough to fill you up. The stewed lion head and scallops were also very good. The scallops were very large, and the lion head was fragrant and tasted like it was hand-made. The only bad thing was that the waiting time was too long. Almost the whole meal was rushed out, which was a less than perfect experience. If the restaurant manager and waiter hadn't been nice, I would have really wanted to give a bad review for the repeated waiting in a five-star hotel... Forget it, forgive others when you can😊

Taking advantage of the "Smell the Fragrance, Know the Taste" discount coupon, I invited my parents to eat at Guihualou, and made an appointment at 12:30 noon. Guihualou is not as crowded as on weekdays on weekends, but the business is still good. There are several tables around us with families of three~ Crab Roe Stewed Lion's Head/68, real chicken soup, definitely not made with MSG! The lion's head inherits the virtues of Yangzhou lion's head and melts in the mouth. Well, Guihualou is Huaiyang cuisine~ Huaiyang Soup Dumpling/36, not the one my dad had in mind, the meat filling continues the style of lion's head, not firm enough. Three Fresh Frozen Tofu/138, a small bowl on the menu, I was shocked by how gorgeous it was when it came up, the amount was too much! Broth, bacon, bamboo shoots, frozen tofu, even I, who don't usually eat bacon, think it's very delicious! Yangzhou Jinxiu Fried Rice/138, the most expensive Yangzhou fried rice in history! Mainly because it contains shrimp and sea cucumber, and the quantity is also shockingly large. . . Three people each had a small bowl, and half a plate was packed. . . But I think the chrysanthemum fried rice ordered at the company dinner tastes better. Rice cake and yellow croaker/398, first of all, the price is much spicier than Jiangnan Stove in Nanjing Shangri-La. This dish in Jiangnan Stove is only 138, and there is no service charge and tax; secondly, the rice cake is so-so, far inferior to the rice cake in Jiangnan Stove, which is really the best rice cake I have ever eaten, no doubt! But the yellow croaker in Guihualou is still good, the fish meat is very tender, the taste is great, and it is slightly spicy. "Smell the fragrance and know the taste" can get a 30% discount on the whole order (10% service charge and 6% tax are charged at the original price, no discount!), if the price of the dish is higher than 900 after the discount, you can also use a coupon of 900 minus 300. Of course, with such a useless stomach as we are now, we naturally can't eat it. After a 30% discount, I ended up paying 635. It's really expensive, but it's delicious! It won unanimous praise from my parents, and my mother said she would come again before the New Year!

New Year's Eve dinner should be served at a warm place like home. Today, I came to Xiangjia Osmanthus House to eat New Year's Eve dishes. Every dish was delicious and comfortable! The chef made the radishes look like macarons. The family portrait is an authentic Jiangnan flavor, which is different from other family portraits. It is soft and salty. I like the dessert made of chestnuts the most. It is refreshing, sweet and dense. I feel that spring is coming soon.
