東興樓 深圳首店

Title: "Student - What to Eat"

This time I came to dine at "Dongxing Lou" located in Shenzhen.
It’s a century-old establishment from Beijing, the top of the Eight Great Buildings, and ranks among the top three for roasted duck in Shenzhen, as well as the best in Nanshan.
The restaurant's color scheme of black and red is elegant yet dignified.

This is also where I had some exceptionally surprising roasted duck during my visit to Shenzhen, and I absolutely recommend it.

★ Impressions
The most impressive dish was the fruitwood roasted duck from Beijing.
The skin was crispy, and the meat was not dry at all.
It came with garlic shoots and plum jelly.
To avoid sticking, each slice of pancake had a non-stick separator, which showed great attention to detail.
The addition of plum jelly with its sweet and sour flavor helped balance out the richness of the duck, adding a refreshing taste.

The old Beijing pickles with jellyfish were quite conventional and refreshing as a side dish.

The stir-fried seasonal vegetables were very fresh, but the downside was that they were not cut to retain their integrity, making it a bit challenging to eat.

The stir-fried lamb was flavorful and paired well with rice, but I was already quite full, so I didn’t order any extra rice.

The four types of Imperial snacks paid great attention to detail in Chinese dining, even though they were small bites.
What impressed me the most was the red bean dessert in the lower left corner (sweet but not overly so, dissolving instantly in the mouth).
The other three items didn’t have much surprise or notable impression.

If I have the chance to come again next time, I would absolutely indulge in more roasted duck, while I would choose other combo sets for the remainder.

★ Waiting Time:
