Park Hyatt Changsha-Lilan

It's almost early autumn, and I took my family on vacation to Changsha. We wanted to try some local specialties without having to wait in long lines, so we chose Lei Lan Restaurant on the L floor of the Park Hyatt Changsha. The whole family was delighted! As expected of a luxury hotel restaurant, I love the elegant design. Richly colored fabrics, murals, and artwork adorn the space, showcasing a sense of understated luxury. Dining at this cloud-top restaurant, with sweeping views of the bustling city, is truly a breathtaking experience. Lei Lan Restaurant, rooted in local ingredients, perfectly balances tradition and innovation, presenting a refined new Hunan cuisine. Start with a cup of ethereal golden osmanthus sparkling tea—it's time for a romantic autumn! Stir-fried Baby Green Dragon with Garlic and Chili This spicy baby green dragon dish is incredibly flavorful, with a savory and spicy flavor. The meat is firm and chewy, and the spicy flavor doesn't overshadow the baby green dragon's natural sweetness, but rather enhances it. The garlic aroma is like magic, lighting up your taste buds. The Hunan flavor meets seafood, bringing endless surprises! Perilla-Seared Geoduck This dish borrows from the Cantonese cooking method of blanching, preserving the geoduck's original flavor to the fullest, allowing its savory flavor to fully unfold on the tongue. The clam meat is tender and crisp, the broth is savory and sweet, and the addition of local perilla adds a fragrant, refreshing, and appetizing aroma. Dong'an Fortune Chicken Dong'an chicken, from Yongzhou, Hunan, is a hallmark of Hunan cuisine. The restaurant has creatively created a broth-searing method that exudes a sense of ritual. From cracking the skin to hand-shredding the chicken, and then pairing it with the sour broth, the meat is incredibly tender and the broth is incredibly flavorful! Hunan-Style Stir-fried Pork Belly Stir-fried yellow beef is a classic Hunan dish that goes well with rice. Here, we've upgraded it with beef belly, taking it to version 2.0! The essence of this dish lies in the fusion of "freshness" and "spicy." The beef is cut against the grain and marinated, then stir-fried over high heat until tender and chewy, coated in a fragrant and spicy sauce. The spiciness of the chili peppers blends seamlessly with the beef, creating a rich, layered flavor. Lard-stirred rice noodles In Hunan, eating rice noodles is a major event. This simple bowl of lard-stirred rice noodles, in particular, is a beloved favorite for many foodies. A simple spoonful of white lard and a spoonful of sauce, combined with the tender, smooth rice noodles, is simply delicious! After dinner, don't forget to admire the night view of Changsha from the window. The towering skyscrapers shimmer with dazzling starlight, while crimson leaves dance and golden waves shimmer. The light show is truly breathtaking! #HunanCooking #FoodFestival #ChangshaFood #ChangshaFoodExploration #ChangshaHotels

The most unexpected surprise of this trip to Changsha was the encounter with the Leilan Restaurant on the 62nd floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel Changsha. Sitting by the window, the magnificent pictures of the Xiangjiang River, Orange Island, and Yuelu Mountain unfold before your eyes, especially at dusk, when the setting sun melts into gold and the city lights come on, it is breathtakingly beautiful. This is not just a restaurant, but also a cloud-top viewing platform. I thought the beautiful scenery at high altitude would steal the limelight from the food, but Leilan's products gave me a double surprise! The main dish is exquisite Hunan cuisine, which has the fresh and spicy soul of Hunan cuisine and the delicate attention to ingredients of high-end catering. A rich Dong'an chicken absorbs the spicy and sour taste of natural spices, adds fresh abalone to the chicken belly to enhance the freshness, and is wrapped and baked in the shape of handmade bread specially made by the chef. It is creative and full of layers; the drunken prawns are marinated with a variety of wines and spices, which are smooth and have a strong oily aroma, bringing a refreshing experience to the summer. The service is impeccable, meticulous and thoughtful without being overly intrusive, and the replacement of plates and the addition of tea are just right. The whole atmosphere is high-end and elegant without losing the sense of relaxation, which is perfect for both romantic dates and important banquets. If you want to conquer your taste buds and eyes in Changsha, Leilan is definitely the best choice! Remember to book a window seat in advance, this feast in the clouds is worth the price! ✨ #Changsha Food Recommendation #Changsha Park Hyatt Hotel #Leilan Restaurant #Cloud Restaurant
