Taipei Yuanshan Hotel Yuanyuan

The Grand Hotel is grand and unique. It is called the "Forbidden City" of Taipei. Some people also call the Grand Hotel the "Dragon Palace". In addition to the dragon shape, there are also stone lions, plum blossoms and other patterns commonly used in Chinese architecture. It is said that when Chiang Kai-shek first planned the Grand Hotel, he set up a secret passage leading to the nearby Jiantan and Bei'an Park. Therefore, in addition to being an excellent tourist attraction in Taipei City, the legend of the secret passage adds a touch of mystery to the Grand Hotel. Why not try the high-standard delicacies when you come here~

[Environment] Located in the lobby on the first floor, the ceiling is very high, so it looks very grand. [Service] The service is thoughtful, proactive and enthusiastic, and the speed of collecting tableware and garbage is very fast. [Taste] There are special Taiwanese snacks, which are delicious and clean.

The restaurant is located in a hotel called "Jinling Hotel". It is a Cantonese restaurant. The menu is Cantonese cuisine. Authentic Cantonese cuisine, delicious. The environment and food should be considered quite distinctive. Fried rice with mullet roe: the portion is large and not greasy! Song Sao fish soup: the thickening is just right.

The famous Grand Hotel is the first restaurant I put on my must-eat list. I ordered red bean cake, fried dumplings, Wensi tofu, steamed cod and boiled beef. The menu is still mainly light Huaiyang cuisine, but there are also many popular Sichuan dishes, but the taste is improved. The red bean cake is really delicious, the dense and sweet bean paste is paired with glutinous rice cake, perfect! But my mother thinks it is too sweet, but it is just right for me. The fried dumplings will have juice flowing out when you bite them, which is super satisfying. The cod is tender and the seasoning is just right. In comparison, the boiled beef with improved taste is much worse. Overall, this restaurant is very cost-effective, and I will come to eat again next time I go to Taipei!!!

Mr. Wang Quanyi, the executive chef of the Grand Hotel, personally cooks the dishes, which are mainly from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines, with light flavors. The squirrel yellow croaker is definitely not inferior to the Songhelou. Each Taiwanese cold cut platter is delicious, and the bean curd on the steamed sea bass is particularly crispy and fragrant. The last one, the red bean sponge cake, was the favorite of Mrs. Soong Mei-ling, and was directly packed and sent to the United States in her later years.

The environment and service of the several restaurants in the Grand Hotel are impeccable, and not too noisy. The food tastes good, but not amazing. The price is expensive. Six people ordered five or six dishes at random, and it cost more than 3,000 Taiwan dollars, more than 120 per person, and it's not a very good dish. The red bean sponge cake is unexpectedly delicious. I still have to try it!

Since Jiang was from Zhejiang, the Huaiyang cuisine at the Grand Hotel, which was a quasi-state banquet for foreign guests, must be quite authentic. Apart from the price, the dishes at the Grand Hotel were excellent in other aspects, whether it was the fried shrimp or the signature red bean sponge cake, the taste was as good as that of the famous restaurants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Very good. I wanted to stay in this hotel and dine in it before coming to Taiwan. It is meaningful to stay in this hotel, and it is even more meaningful to dine in Yuanyuan. It is said that it is Mrs. Chiang's royal chef, and all the dishes are famous Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes. The four of us had West Lake vinegar fish, fried shrimp, red bean sponge cake, etc. The price is acceptable and the dining environment is also very good.
