淮食 · 禧狮楼(万达店)

Huaishi Xishilou is a hotel near Yangzhou Wanda Plaza. The hotel is quite large. We booked a private room for the annual meeting. There is a stage and the venue is spacious, which is suitable for playing games and performing. | Wensi Tofu Soup^One bowl per person, the tofu is like silk, it is all cut by machine, and the taste is light. | Signature Lion Head^The lion head is so big, enough for a table of people, the meat is tender, and there is egg yolk. | Garlic Boneless Duck Feet^Vinegar is very appetizing, boneless and easy to eat, good taste. ...... Overall, it's good.

Yangzhou Lion House is also very famous. I didn't order it because I ate too much lion head. Their Yangzhou fried rice tastes great, the best Yangzhou fried rice I've ever eaten. Huaiyang soft pocket is also very good, the price is not expensive, recommended!

You must try the most classic braised lion's head, which is very delicious. Other dishes, including puffer fish, are just OK. The taste of the braised spring bamboo shoots is still a little lacking, but the small green vegetables are all good, and the Wensi tofu is worth a try.

I found this hotel on Ctrip. I looked at several recommended hotels, some with good reviews and some with bad reviews. In the end, I thought it was an old hotel, but I was also worried that it was a designated hotel for tour groups, so it would be old and messy. I thought I would go there first and see what happened. I navigated there, but it turned out that the hotel had moved. I followed the notice on the hotel door and navigated to the new address, which was not far away. The new hotel was unexpectedly good. I especially liked the quiet and elegant environment. The food was of good quality. It is a base for the development of Huaiyang cuisine and is trustworthy. Two people can only order four dishes, lion head, finless porpoise, shad, and Yangzhou fried rice.

My friend and I ordered spicy sesame cold noodles, squirrel osmanthus fish, fried whitebait with eggs, braised pork knuckles, shrimp siu mai, crispy shrimp cakes, du du du sugar porridge, and steamed spareribs with lotus glutinous rice. They were all very good, with a slightly sweeter taste.

One serving of lion's head is enough for four people. Don't think it's small. Buy one serving per person.

For our first meal in Yangzhou, we wanted some authentic Huaiyang cuisine, so we chose the highly-rated Shizilou restaurant, and the food was indeed delicious. Following the online recommendations, we ordered salted duck, lion's head meatballs, Yangzhou fried rice, and braised shredded tofu. Each dish tasted good at first, but we got a bit tired of it towards the end, so we didn't finish it. My husband's favorite was the salted duck, mine was the braised shredded tofu, and our child liked the Yangzhou fried rice. We all liked the lion's head meatballs, but none of them were our absolute favorite.
