Westfield Villa

I like this restaurant very much. There are many Shanghai dishes that I like, and the taste is very authentic. The cooked vegetables are fried to perfection and the fish is marinated very well. I like it. The waiters are also very enthusiastic. It is worth a try.

Their New Year dishes are specially customized, from cold dishes to fruits, the butler service is quite good. The cold dishes are quite exquisite, I especially like the four-happiness roasted gluten, the home-cooked dishes are very delicious, and there are sweet and sour spare ribs, which can't be cooked at home, very thick oil and red sauce. The most New Year-flavored dish among the main dishes is the New Year's Family Portrait, a steaming pot, very local flavor, abalone, prawns, fish balls, meatballs, egg dumplings, etc., the soup is so fresh that it makes eyebrows drop, and the quantity is also large. Li's Alaskan crab is great, the meat is fresh and chewy. The fried snowflake beef with dry onions is very tender, the beef is of excellent quality and especially fragrant. There are also grouper, etc., chicken, duck, fish and meat are all available, which is satisfying. Finally, there are bird's nest dumplings, which are very nourishing, delicious and stylish. I like their floor tiles and the style of Lao Kele. It is still cost-effective to eat like this.

Hongqiao No. 1, exquisite Cantonese cuisine, Emerald Truffle Dumplings, the appearance is transparent, the fragrance overflows when you take a bite; Crab Shell Yellow, very crispy, not greasy, the filling also has a fragrant taste; Glass Pigeon, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the crispness of the skin is different from usual.

Xijiao No.1 is located on Hongqiao Road near Hongxu Road. Two tall black doors are hidden on the roadside with dense trees, which makes people feel mysterious and unique. Several old-style villas make you feel like you are in old Shanghai. The butler-style service makes people feel very friendly. All the dining rooms here are independent rooms. Even if you come to eat alone, it is a private room. Each room has an independent bathroom and is very private. I have eaten teppanyaki before. This time, Xijiao No.1 launched Hong Kong-style dim sum for lunch, which is exquisite and delicious. The crispy pigeon skin is crispy and the meat is tender and delicious. Truffle crystal dumplings, the transparent dumpling skin is mixed with various kinds of gu and truffles, and the taste is sweet and fresh. Seafood casserole porridge is extremely delicious. The waiter introduced that there are not only seafood but also homemade soup. It is worth more than 200 yuan. The dessert of mango twig and sago is sour and sweet, the mango meat and grapefruit meat are rich in vitamins, and the sago is smooth. The environment is high-end and atmospheric, the food is exquisite, and the service is considerate. It is worth it.

Xijiao No. 1, in the eyes of most of us, has always been a high-consumption place. You can't get it without spending one or two thousand per person. So sometimes when I pass by here, I touch my wallet and have to continue passing by. Suddenly I saw in the circle of friends that Xijiao No. 1 launched a family-friendly custom New Year's set meal during the Spring Festival, which only costs 500 yuan per person. After looking at the menu, I found that although the per capita price is lower, the dishes are not inferior at all. So I called to book a set meal for 6 to 8 people. My friend and I each brought our parents and walked into the villa of Xijiao No. 1. Xijiao No. 1 was originally a historic residence. The decoration inside also shows its elegance and high-end and elegant temperament. When I was introduced by the waiter all the way, I was thinking that it was an extra benefit to visit the buildings here by eating. Because my friend's family had not arrived yet, the waiter treated us to some fruits and biscuits first. When my friend's family came together, everyone took their seats. After a round of greetings, the exquisite six cold dishes in the set meal came up. It can be said that each dish was delicious and exquisite, which made me look forward to the next hot dishes. New Year's family portrait, the form is somewhat similar to the Guangdong pot, but this pot really surprised me. In the medium-sized casserole, there are layers of sea cucumbers, abalone, fish maw, prawns, braised duck, Hainan chicken, which are full of casserole. The waiter poured broth on these ingredients, continued to boil them, and then shared them for us. The mouthful of gelatin felt full. Li's French blue dragon, big head, firm meat. Haihuang Yipin pot, abalone again. It is also a large casserole, also filled with various seafood ingredients, also boiled in broth, and equally delicious. Slow-cooked veal, the meat is sweet and tender. Aftertaste the tendon, boiled with abalone juice. Each person has one small yellow croaker with grapefruit juice, and the squirrel salmon is cooked with appetizing grapefruit juice, which is both creative and delicious. Abalone braised pork, abalone again, I feel that this set is based on abalone, and I must have supplemented a lot of collagen after eating it. The final dessert was bird's nest dumplings, a perfect ending.

【Environment】     I have been here for afternoon tea before, and I really like the environment of the garden villa podium, which is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Each building is unique and has its own secrets, which are particularly precious. Although it is located in the Dahongqiao area, it feels like a small hidden in the wild and a big hidden in the city.    The wooden floor, mahogany leather sofa, and patterned windows make people dream back to the time of old Shanghai. Each window reveals a gentle light, and is faintly filled with graceful piano sounds, telling the memory of time and giving time and space more historical sense.       The Wedgwood tea set from the UK and the dish basin used for the New Year are blue and white porcelain tableware specially selected by the chef in Jingdezhen. They are exquisite and elegant, and are very suitable for the elegant environment of the private room. 【Service】    Parking is free when dining here, and all rooms are private, so the privacy is quite good. Each room will be equipped with a waiter who specializes in serving dishes and changing plates. The disadvantage is that the wifi here is almost unavailable, so you can only use your own 4G traffic. 【Food】 #白切鸡# is a traditional Shanghai dish, made from locally raised Pudong Sanhuang chickens, which are blanched in boiling water three times to retain freshness, so there are blood streaks inside, which is its own characteristic. Dipped with shrimp roe and soy sauce, the skin is crisp and the meat is smooth, light and delicious. #油炸虾# is a famous dish in Shanghai cuisine. Usually small and medium-sized shrimps are used. After frying, they are surrounded by cucumber slices. The shrimp shells are red and soft and fall off at the touch of a touch. The shrimp meat is tender and slightly sweet and sour. #牡香# is different from the traditional eel fragrance. The fish meat is not as salty as the traditional one. The fish meat is tender and delicate, and paired with tomatoes, the taste is more refreshing. #Cold celery# I love this dish. Remove the old leaves and branches of celery and roll it into slices. It is a green food that can relieve greasiness, cleanse the intestines and cleanse the mouth. It is light and refreshing. It is the dish I eat the most. #Golden pumpkin crab roe rice cake# The rice cake with crab roe is not only beautiful but also delicious. It is no longer bland, but is mixed with the deliciousness of crab, making the rice cake sticky and easy to chew. The warm New Year flavor is quietly exuded and fills the whole mouth. I personally like this dish very much. #Bama small fragrant pig# The color is golden, fat and thin, shiny, fragrant and sweet, oily but not greasy. #Aftertaste tendon# The color is red, tender and smooth, and the taste is rich and full of the mellow aroma of the thick marinade, which is endless aftertaste. #Stir-fried wagyu beef with dry onions# The beef is not only soft and tender, but also has a fragrant onion fragrance. #Golden Truffle Roll# Due to the high nutritional value and rare production of truffles, its value is on par with high-end delicacies such as caviar and foie gras, and it is known as the "three kings of delicacies". Its innate unique taste makes it an extremely precious condiment in French and Italian cuisine. This fried truffle is golden in color, crisp in taste, and not greasy. #Shenggua boiled with pepper#This vegetarian health dish is highly recommended. Shenggua is what Shanghai people call loofah. Cooking it with fresh pepper is to let the loofah play a role in clearing heat and detoxifying while preventing the loofah's coldness from damaging the body's life. The soup of this dish is rich and has a light taste.

The restaurant is located in a small western-style building. When it rains, a waiter will come out with an umbrella to take you in. There is also valet parking service, so the service fee of this restaurant is not in vain. I then entered the private room. This restaurant adheres to the private room system. There are two areas for eating and resting. During the rest time, you can taste pre-meal fruits and small cookies. The small cookies are made on the spot by Canadian chefs and are very delicious. The tableware for drinking tea is marked as Wedgewood, which shows the care. Because Xijiao No. 1 is going to launch a popular afternoon tea at noon, it can be regarded as a new product trial. Although it is popular, the standard has not been lowered at all. The residence of Hong Kong Lei Garden, which was invited at a high price, each dim sum is exquisite and delicious. I love seafood casserole porridge the most. I heard that it is made with chicken soup and abalone juice, without MSG, and it is so fresh that my eyebrows are about to fall off. I was also very impressed by the purple potato lava bun, with crispy and tender skin and soft and smooth inside. I really want to eat another one. With so many meals, the average cost per person is only about 150-200 yuan, which is a great place for afternoon tea.
