Dishes such as yam duck and West Lake beef soup are very well received. The yam in the yam duck is soft and creamy, the pastry is fluffy, and the duck meat is not greasy. The West Lake beef soup has a rich texture and the broth is similar to hot and sour soup, making it suitable for guests who enjoy multi-layered flavors.
The restaurant is located near the Qiqiaocuan Creek, offering a unique and personalized dining experience, accommodating only one table at a time. It is surrounded by famous attractions such as Sheng'an Temple and Cihui Temple.
The restaurant is run by a couple and requires reservations to be made one day in advance. The service focuses on each guest to ensure that every dining experience is meticulous and considerate.
The ordinary kitchen is located on Zhonghua Road, near the Qijiao River.
This is a distinctive restaurant. Whether for takeout or dining in, the owner only accepts orders placed one day in advance, and only serves one table at a time.
The most famous dish is the taro duck, which is recommended to be reserved in advance. The taro is soft and creamy, while the flaky crust crumbles at the slightest touch, yet each piece can be picked up without falling apart. The duck is garnished with shredded lettuce around it, creating the feel of being placed in a green basket. There is more duck meat than skin, and the lack of greasiness from the skin suits my taste very well. A slightly sweet dipping sauce is provided.
Another recommended dish is the West Lake beef soup, where minced beef and egg drop take the spotlight, served in a soup similar to hot and sour soup. You can add vinegar if desired.
If you have a little time before or after your meal, the famous "Shengan Temple" and "Ci Hui Hall" are nearby, which are the original sites where the Heavenly Queen Mother resides, and they enjoy a thriving incense trade.
I personally enjoy walking along the path by the Qijiao River.
Parking can be found along the riverside or roadside.
— A reminder, don’t forget to make a reservation first, as it is managed solely by a couple.
