会老堂宰相府私房菜

Suzhou cuisine is my favorite cuisine besides Shanghai cuisine. There are many delicious dishes, which are not greasy and not sweet, and are very delicious, especially the chicken head rice. There are too many delicious stir-fried dishes, and the desserts are also very delicious.

I like Suzhou cuisine very much. It is the taste I like, not too heavy. I especially like the chicken head rice, which is super delicious, very chewy, and it is beautiful with osmanthus. Suzhou cuisine is exquisite, I like it very much.

A local friend introduced us to this restaurant. It is located in the ancient village of Luxiang in Dongshan. It is said to be the old residence of the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. Now it serves high-end private dishes. Huilaotang only opens six or seven tables a day, so you must remember to make a reservation in advance. The dishes are carefully matched and the dishes are exquisite. It goes without saying that it is a specialty of Taihu Lake, super delicious and definitely worth recommending.

[Dining Environment] Located in the ancient village of Luxiang, Dongshan, there are no obvious road signs, but if you ask the villagers, they all know this restaurant. The predecessor of the restaurant was an ancient house from the Ming Dynasty, which still retains its original appearance. The restaurant has few seats, but it retains the privacy of diners to the greatest extent, and the decoration inside the house also has a strong historical atmosphere. [Restaurant Story] The restaurant was founded in 2004. At first, it was just to repair the old house. Later, inspired by friends, it started catering and has continued to this day. The chef of the restaurant has been cooking for this restaurant since its founding. He has developed many special dishes for the restaurant. The number of receptions per day is limited, but the concept of "eating in season" is fully utilized. [Recommended dishes] 1. Fried river shrimp with broccoli River shrimp in this season is naturally a delicacy that cannot be missed. But fried river shrimp is very particular: is it a hot dish or a cold dish, how to make this dish both hot and cold? The river shrimp is crispy on the outside and juicy inside, which is the essence of this dish. Adding vinegar at the right time is the chef's secret. With broccoli, this dish is full of color, aroma and taste. 2. Celery pot roast river eel River eel is another good delicacy in this season. Different people have different ways to deal with river eel, and this dish must be eaten while it is hot. When you bite it, it seems that there is not much heat, but it is very hot inside. The sauce is well absorbed by the river eel meat, which will not make you feel bland, especially the surface layer of skin, which is very chewy and the meat is also very delicious. 3. Steamed whitewater fish with whitebait in XO sauce Taihu has three whites: whitebait, whitefish and white shrimp. This season, two of them are selected: whitebait and whitefish. Their whitefish is praised by gourmets as the most delicious whitefish. Only the most delicious meat segments are selected from the whole whitefish, especially the edge of the meat segment, which is the most plump. The silverfish is steamed with loofah, and the fragrance of loofah and the flavor of XO sauce penetrate into the silverfish, which is fresh and smooth. 4. Farewell My Concubine Cauliflower turtle is the most rare delicacy of this season. The turtle and chicken are cooked together to make a soup, which is very nutritious. The selection of turtle parts is slightly particular. The skirt on the turtle shell is matched with two legs, which is the most plump part of the turtle. Add a little chicken, and the essence is in this bowl of soup. It can be said to be the most nutritious tonic of this season. 5. Golden soup fish jerky This dish can be said to be a creative dish, and this method is indeed unexpected, but reasonable. The long-spined fish is sliced, and it is steamed with pumpkin puree and winter melon slices. The impression of fish should be salty, but this fish is sweet, but it is not dark cuisine at all. The combination of the three complements each other. 6. Grandma's grass head cake A very ordinary snack, but it makes people feel that the portion is too small after tasting it. Alfalfa is made into cakes and fried in oil, then brown sugar juice is added. It doesn't feel greasy at all. This snack is a good choice for people who like glutinous rice. It is chewy and you can taste the natural wild vegetable flavor.

People without some experience will definitely not be able to find this place. It is located in the suburbs and is hidden very secretly. It looks like a big house from the outside, but it is actually a restaurant inside. The food doesn't seem to be that good.

First of all, let me talk about the environment of the private restaurant. It is a typical Suzhou style restaurant, very elegant. Secondly, the most noteworthy thing is the dishes. Your Taihu fried shrimps are very crispy and tasty.
