Xunbaoji Shaoxing Cuisine (Keyan Branch)

The signature dishes we had at the entrance of the scenic spot were all delicious, and Shaoxing cuisine was very much to our taste. Very good, affordable, much cheaper than consuming directly in a physical store, very cost-effective! Must give a full score💯

环境很好，就在柯岩景区门口，靠近鲁镇，结果价格还比较实惠，是地道绍兴菜。点了几个菜都很好吃，有个西施豆腐因为服务员看我们没咋吃，还主动给我退单了，作为一个湖北人，从来没体会过的待遇，两人点了好几个菜只花108，价格很实惠，墙裂推荐

It is right next to the Keyan Visitor Center. You can scan the QR code to order. The environment is nice and the food tastes salty and fresh. I especially recommend their rice wine pudding.

"Treasure Hunt for Shaoxing Cuisine" is an absolute must-try! As a signature dish of Shaoxing cuisine, it's been featured numerous times on CCTV, Hunan TV, and other popular programs, and is a beloved "secret canteen" for locals. A meal here truly captures the essence of Shaoxing's cuisine. The moment you step inside, you're immediately struck by the rich charm of the Jiangnan water towns. Wooden tables and chairs, carved window lattices, and quaint lanterns—every detail evokes the ancient charm of Shaoxing. The spacious yet sophisticated space offers perfectly divided dining areas, from large round tables for large groups to cozy tables for four, each one perfectly divided for privacy and comfort. The vintage photos of Shaoxing hanging on the wall create a sense of transport back in time, maximizing the atmosphere. A trip to Shaoxing without dining at this table is a wasted trip! "Treasure Hunt," a living hallmark of Shaoxing cuisine, infuses the essence of rice wine, fresh waterside cuisine, and the flavors of ancient Yue into its dishes. Follow these signature dishes and you'll never miss a dish! •🐷 Braised Pork with Preserved Preserved Vegetables: A Shaoxing favorite for those who love carbs and meat! The shiny black preserved vegetables absorb the fat from the pork belly, creating a delicious blend of the meat's richness and saltiness. Each bite is incredibly satisfying. Pair it with a white steamed bun, and this carb-filled meat-filled meal will instantly awaken your "Gu Yue" spirit! •🦞 Crayfish in Yellow Wine: A must-try in season! Bathed in an amber-colored rice wine broth, the crayfish are tender and fragrant, with a hint of sweetness and a hint of intoxication. Even the shells are filled with the wine's aftertaste, and you'll want to lick your fingers until they're peeled! •🐚 Wine-Fragrant Snails: A traditional Shaoxing summer staple! Snails soaked in rice wine are so fresh they'll hook your tongue. Slurp them up with a slurp, the aroma of wine mingling with the sweetness of the snail meat. It's the perfect dish to enjoy with a drink while watching TV. Remember to ask the waiter for extra toothpicks (those who get it, you can't stop eating). •🍲 Shaoxing Three Fresh: A true Shaoxing family feast! Chewy fish balls, soft pork skin, sweet river shrimp, and hearty pork belly. One bowl captures the essence of Jianhu Lake water, and the broth is so savory it'll make your eyebrows drop. Just one sip and you'll understand the Shaoxing saying, "Jinzhuo Delicious." •🥚 Rice Wine Pudding: A dark horse among rice wine desserts! The smooth pudding is coated in a subtle rice wine aroma, with the aromas of milk and wine dancing on your tongue. The sweetness is just right, not overpowering. Even those who don't like rice wine will order two and become instant Amway fans. •🥟 Xiaolongbao: Don't underestimate these steamed dumplings! The thin wrapper is filled with tooth-meltingly delicious meat filling, while the broth is rich with Shaoxing's signature flavors. Dip it in vinegar and bite into it, and the burst of juice instantly captivates the heart of a Jiangnan breakfast. It's a perfect main course or snack. •🍶 Yellow Wine Milk Tea: Now that you're here, you have to try this magical duo of yellow wine and milk tea! The aroma of tea is the base, while the subtle aroma of yellow wine is just a touch intoxicating, leaving you feeling slightly tipsy without being intoxicating. In one sip, you can experience the gentle and intense flavors of Shaoxing. Posting it on your WeChat Moments will surely get you asking for the link. Dining here also offers numerous unique experiences: enjoy your meal while watching a Yue Opera performance, immersing you in the charm of Shaoxing opera through delicious food. At noon, catch the yellow wine opening ceremony and enjoy a free sample of freshly opened yellow wine. This is a relaxing and unique way to immerse yourself in the pulse of yellow wine culture. I went to the Luxun branch (there are several chains in Shaoxing, so choose the one that's most convenient for you). The restaurant is super conveniently located at Xianheng New World, No. 5 Luxun Middle Road, right next to the west entrance to Luxun's hometown. After dinner, I went straight to the scenic area to help digest the food. With a per-person price range of 80-120 yuan, the signature dishes are reasonably priced and generously portioned, ensuring a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

CCTV-4 traveled across China and came to Shaoxing, the hometown of my grandparents. I was fortunate to experience the homesickness of "Hangzhou radishes are grown in Shaoxing" again. My good friend Marissa came to visit. She is a travel food god in Southeast Asia. I must find an authentic restaurant to let her experience the culture of Yue. It was her first time in Shaoxing. The weather was cold, so I filled the tin pot with hot rice wine. I wanted to find a restaurant that was a business card of Shaoxing cuisine. The first thought was "Xunbaoji Shaoxing Cuisine", which had a complete range of dishes and proper taste. The founder, Brother Liang, is the president of the Shaoxing Cuisine Research Association. I found that Xunbaoji had just been selected as the "Excellent Case of Commercial Innovation in 2022-2023" together with JD.com, Haidilao, Hema, McDonald's, Heytea, Daoxiangcun and many other companies, and also won the "Leading Brand of Chinese Local Cuisine". We ate stinky tofu, braised pork with pickled mustard greens, rice with soy sauce, and drunken chicken with Huadiao... I enjoyed those flavors when I was a child, and she enjoyed them when she was young. The aged hot rice wine and the drunken crab soaked in the aged wine made dear Marissa linger. Next time she comes here, she will definitely think of not only me, but also the delicious taste of Shaoxing.
