小恶魔之yiThe hotel occasionally offers special afternoon teas, and I went there just for that. I booked a window view seat in advance, so I could take a picture of the St. Regis sign outside the window. There were quite a lot of people coming for afternoon tea, and it was almost full. The afternoon tea set for 2 people was 528 yuan, including a three-layer tower dessert, a tray, and coffee or tea. The quantity was quite large, and it was both beautiful and delicious.

Old-FU1. At noon on May 4, 2020, when I was buying steamed buns at No. 77 Jiangning Road, I asked the salesperson how long it would take to queue for steamed buns at Gu Dai Road? She replied that there was no need to queue. At noon on May 26, 2020, I went to the store to check and saw the scene. I finally knew why the store was not doing well. 2. The door of the restaurant was suppressed by the All Seasons Hotel. I stood across the road and looked far away. I couldn’t see the sign of Lvyang Village, only the sign of All Seasons. If it wasn’t for the map navigation telling me that Lvyang Village was here, I would definitely miss this store. 3. Standing far away doesn’t count. Even if you stand at the door of Lvyang Village, you dare not enter the store, because the whole store looks gray. There are two stores on the left and right of the restaurant, a hotel, and a convenience store. Expanding to both sides, there are almost no stores that have anything to do with catering. 4. There is a wide four-lane road called Gudai Road in front of the store, and there is no traffic light crosswalk. To put it bluntly, it is inconvenient for people on the opposite side of the road to cross the road to eat in the store. 5. There are very few passers-by in front of the store. I don’t know if the flow of people was calculated when the store was set up? In the past, when KFC and McDonald’s opened stores, they hired cheap students to calculate the flow of passers-by with stopwatches. 6. Although there is a residential community (Jiangnan Xingcheng) across the road, it is all enclosed by walls. Even if residents in the community want to come over to buy a steamed bun with vegetables, it is inconvenient. 7. How could Lvyang Village choose to open a second store here for such a store? I really don’t understand. Before leaving, I spent 7 yuan to buy two steamed buns with one meat and one vegetable in the store, and left after eating.

bluecrane[Location] Tianping Road is close to Huashan Road, at the entrance of an alley, inconspicuous, very homely. [Environment] There is no special decoration. At first, I thought it was Northwestern cuisine when I heard the name, but it turned out to be local cuisine. The restaurant is not big, with a maximum of ten tables for four people. We put two together and put a turntable, which simply turned into a large table. The only thing that I felt uncomfortable was that the bathroom was facing the inside of the restaurant, and the drainage of the old house was not very good, and there was a peculiar smell as soon as the door was opened. [Service] You can only use the boss's mobile phone to order dishes, so what is the QR code on the table for? Waste of feelings and time... Free tissues have to be taken at the front desk. Others are ok.

candicegardenThe man on the street is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world 🌴As the mysterious private restaurant in Shanghai, Mr. Huang is hidden in the small alley of Hengshanfang, which is shaded by the sycamore trees🍃 on Tianping Road. Mr. Huang is the most expensive Chinese restaurant in Shanghai, because there are only two tables💋 and the price is high☝🏻️, it has always been full of mystery. 🌿Last time, I had his 3,000 yuan per person set meal. When we talked about things during the meal, we unexpectedly reached an agreement quickly and smoothly. This Mid-Autumn Festival🌙, as a reward for myself and my family, I came to the former👍🏻 blessed place👍🏻 to try the 5,000 yuan per person set meal. 🌳After eating, I feel that their private dishes are the Omakase in Chinese cuisine. They will choose ingredients according to the season and eat from time to time🥗Of course, you can also ask the store to tailor it according to your preferences🍳So every time you come here, you can eat something different, which is what the real private dishes look like. 🌱The tableware🍽️ is very exquisite. The tableware I used for dinner is a beautiful high-grade gray series, which is also my favorite color. It is said that it was customized from France across the ocean. 🍀The environment is very private, retro, elegant, grand and quiet, which is very rare in Shanghai. I think such a venue is very suitable for a noisy metropolis like Shanghai. Occasionally, let your body and mind take a break, reward yourself🍹or come here for a birthday party next time🎊It's also very good. If it is a company's senior management gathering, banquet for distinguished guests, or an annual tasting promotion meeting or business negotiation, it must be very face-saving. Last time I came here to have a banquet and talk about things, it was very successful. It is my blessed place🙏🏻💕 🍃Last time I had a single set meal of 3,000 yuan per person on the first floor, and this time I had a single set meal of 5,000 yuan per person on the second floor. They are both very spacious, and there is a small balcony on the second floor. There are only two private rooms in the small house, which can only accommodate two tables of guests at the same time. European retro decoration style, just right embellished with romantic flowers🌸The overall feeling is grand, noble, romantic and comfortable, which shows the noble status of both the host and the guest👨🏻‍⚖️👸🏻👍🏻

yysweetThe price is OK, the food is fresh, the rice is soft, and there are many varieties to choose from. I bought a box to try it when I passed by, and it was not bad. There is no seat in the store, it is take-out.

amydogHairy crab rice cake is a must 2022-9-16 A cultural food event in Nanxiang in early autumn organized by a friend who works in Jiading was very successful, hahahahahaha We do not accept reservations for private rooms after 11 o'clock. My friend also tried his best. He closed for half a day and sat in the private room at 11:30, waiting for everyone to arrive. It is said that the boss lady poked her head several times during the period, why hasn't the room expired yet😅 [Taste] | Hairy crab rice cake^68, it seems that there are 5 for 10 yuan, a full pot of crabs + eye-catching crabs are exciting It moved. My companion said that this is no longer a hairy crab, but a hairy crab. The crab roe is extremely plump and delicious. The rich sauce of the local cuisine is full of flavor, and the small rice cake is the finishing touch. | Shredded eel with fried oil ^68, also fresh and delicious, but I don’t know who it is, Ai Xiaomi didn’t eat a few bites and then died. |Salt and pepper pork strips ^38, it is said to be the specialty of this restaurant, the pork strips are very fluffy, and when they were served, I thought they were bullfrog legs, delicious. |Nanxiang steamed buns ^35, sixteen pieces, that is two taels, the steamed buns are obviously bigger than those in the city, the skin looks thick, but it is just right when you bite it. It's not thick either, the meat is in white soup, pure and delicious, with a lot of meat, leaving the Nanxiang Xiaolong Restaurant on Shengchan Street that I went to in 2020 18 blocks away (I suddenly realized that Xiaolong Restaurant has not been written about yet) |Vegetable and meat wonton stew^2 meters each, four pieces are sold at a minimum. This is the Shanghai wonton rice that my neighbor used to make. The wontons are so big. I haven't eaten such big wontons in the city for a long time. I guess they use fresh shepherd's purse or green vegetables nearby. It's so delicious [Environment] The first floor is a staircase, and the business area is the second floor. There are three rooms of different sizes. The lobby, which can accommodate both small drinks and large tables, is crowded [Environment] May have just been renovated, very clean 📌: Orders must be placed before 1:30 pm at the latest, the chef has to go off work After the epidemic, it continued to be closed for more than two months. At the beginning, the group was still discussing whether it could not continue to operate or what. Ai Xiaomi said that an old restaurant with so many years of history would not be defeated by two months of closure... Sure enough, they are happily renovating and decorating 🚙: It depends on fate. Normally, you can't park on the roadside outside the old street. Just go to the basement of RT-Mart, which is about a 10-minute walk

飞龙在天jamesI went out for a walk on Sunday morning. I hadn't been to Binjiang near Waimalu for a long time. I was tired and it was time for lunch. I saw this restaurant and went in. There are basically private rooms inside. There are set meals at noon, and the price is also OK, less than 400 per person. There are two of us, chatting, drinking tea, and looking at the scenery. The dishes tasted pretty good.

TonzaA steakhouse on Nanjing East Road, generally good. The place is a bit small and a bit cramped, but the decoration and decor are still great. The dishes taste good, but the portions are not big. "Tomahawk steak" is very tender, melts in the mouth, and the meat is great "Buffalo mozzarella and tomato salad" The tomatoes are good, and the buffalo mozzarella is so-so "Slow-cooked octopus tentacles with potatoes" The octopus is not very tender and is a bit overcooked "Bread and butter before the meal" Great bread
