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.

Yangzhou is not only famous for its "water-packed" morning tea, but also for its Huaiyang cuisine, one of the four major cuisines. I chose the latter between Shiweitian and Shizilou, and decided to go to the main store of the three restaurants - Hanjiang Road Store. I arrived around 11:20, and the parking lot at the door was full. I drove along the road for a while before I found a parking space. It was good to walk back to the store and go straight up to the second floor to sit down and order. I originally wanted to order the discounted set meal mentioned in the reviews, but later my family discussed and felt that there were too many dishes in the set meal, and three people would definitely not be able to finish it, so I ordered a few of the signature dishes of this restaurant, including the best lion head, Wensi tofu soup, crystal shrimp, Huaiyang fried soft pocket and Yangzhou fried rice, which are the most popular dishes. The best lion head is very big, with salted egg yolk in it. It is said that one is 600 grams, enough for 5 or 6 adults to eat together. I think it tastes good, but it is too big, so I can only try to pack it up. The Wensi tofu is very skillful, the soft-shelled eel is very tender, the crystal shrimp is very chewy, and the Yangzhou fried rice is also very delicious. In short, most of the dishes are very satisfying.

I ordered four dishes, namely, premium lion's head, large boiled dried shredded vegetables, tomato egg soup, and Yangzhou fried rice, plus a bowl of rice for a total of 200 yuan. The dishes were served quickly. The lion's head tasted good and had egg yolk inside. It was too big for two people to eat too much and was a bit greasy. There were onions in the fried rice, which I personally didn't particularly like. The large boiled dried shredded vegetables was too famous and I didn't think it was very good, but the soup was delicious.

Yangzhou famous dishes: Yangzhou fried rice, nothing to say. Braised lion head, you will want to eat more after having it. Boiled dried shredded vegetables, scraped old jiao. Wensi tofu, the knife skills are amazing. Artemisia dried tofu, fragrant and refreshing. Well-deserved reputation, reasonable price.

I was going to eat at Yiyuan, but I didn't expect it was under renovation, so I immediately turned around and went to Lion Tower. Lion Tower Slender West Lake Store is inside Yangzhou University. Walking along Liuhu Road, the beautiful scenery of Slender West Lake and the cool breeze of early summer are intoxicating. The restaurant is mainly private rooms. The so-called lobby is a space of less than 100 square meters with 10 to 20 IBM tables lined up. Fortunately, there are tablecloths. I arrived at about 17:45, and the waiter told me that the braised silver carp head was out. I thought it was sold out, but after the experience of the past two days, I think the kitchen didn't want to make it. There are two kinds of lion head on the menu, one is 18 yuan and the other is 88 yuan. I asked the waiter what the difference was, and he told me that 18 is white braised and 88 is red braised. Well, this answer is perfect. Then order the white braised one. 70 yuan is enough for me to buy a few bottles of soy sauce. The meat of the lion's head was not very fresh, and the outer layer felt a bit dry. The meat was chopped too finely. There was water chestnut added inside, but the cuts were too big. It felt like it had been steamed in advance. When someone ordered it, they added a spoonful of broth and served it on the table. The boiled dried shredded pork was always ordered. The crab roe was replaced with cordyceps flowers, and there was no ham shreds to make it fresh. The broth was just the standard of a small restaurant. The shredded chicken inside was dry and tasteless, so it was better not to add it. Don't expect the knife skills to cut the dried shredded pork. The Yangzhou fried rice was okay. I won't comment on the salted pig's head because it was my first time eating it and it didn't suit my appetite. I also ordered a dry pot cowpea, which had more meat than cowpea and tasted too salty. The waiter's attitude was okay, but his professionalism was zero.

This is a delicious restaurant in Yangzhou University. The lion head is very delicious and contains salted egg yolk; the Wensi tofu is indeed delicious on the tip of the tongue, as thin as a hair; the Yangzhou fried rice is famous for its crispy rice grains; the soup of the dried shredded vegetable in soup is so worth savoring!
