281881 Chinese Restaurant - Grand Hyatt Shenzhen

4.4/5

饭醉分子闫涛In general, the hotel's restaurant is still a combination of Chinese and Western food plus buffet, but this Grand Hyatt actually has 8 restaurants. No wonder Peter, President of Escoffier Greater China, is in charge. The restaurant I experienced is called 1881. The main signature feature is the combination of Beijing and Sichuan. It is a bit like "Beijing Sichuan Office", but in fact, the standard of Sichuan cuisine in Beijing is very high. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of revolutionaries were born in spicy areas, so a large number of excellent chefs were transferred from Sichuan to Beijing. Over time, Sichuan cuisine in Beijing has become a force that cannot be underestimated. But I thought too much. This restaurant is just a Sichuan restaurant that integrates Beijing roast duck. The appearance of Beijing roast duck may be the legendary Feng Shui saying of "there is roast duck and rice star"! Chef Hu of the restaurant is a native Sichuanese, and the Sichuan cuisine at noon tastes authentic. As a loyal fan of Sichuan cuisine, I can't help but give a thumbs up to the Sichuan cuisine in a foreign-funded hotel in a new immigrant city like Shenzhen. The chef's soft-fried bamboo shoot fish is very good, and the cold dishes are also very well seasoned. It made me change the stale impression that Sichuan cuisine belongs to "seeking the lost etiquette in the wild". It seems that Hyatt Hotels, which is known for its catering industry, is "more exciting with Peter"! But why is the restaurant named 1881? I thought it was a special year, such as the founding of a restaurant or hotel group, but in fact, the hotel group is not so old, and China does not have such an old catering brand. The public relations lady said that this is just a convention of using street sign numbers as restaurant names. In fact, there were quite a lot of things that happened in 1881. Both US President Garfield and Russian Tsar Alexander II were stabbed, so it was a year that was not conducive to the king. Lu Xun and Picasso were both born in this year, so this number is conducive to a strong literary tone. This may be me thinking too much!

30WU Modern Chao Cuisine

饭醉分子闫涛This "Wu Xiandai Chao Cuisine" that looks like a modern art gallery shows the efforts of the owner to celebrate. The wallpapers in the room are all handmade rice paper from Japan. The stones scattered in the corners are also stone carvings from Syria. It is said that the wallpaper for one room alone cost more than 70,000 yuan, which shows how high the decoration cost is. Returning to the taste experience, Wu Xiandai Chao Cuisine feels like an upgraded and fashionable version of Wu Club. Chaoshan people believe that eating fish maw can have a nourishing and health-preserving effect, so dried fish maw is very popular in top restaurants, but what Wu Xiandai serves here is a fashionable upstart, huge fresh eel. Compared with the richness of dried goods, fresh big fish has a chewy texture and a fresh taste. If you use wine to distinguish, traditional fish maw should be paired with brandy or red wine, while fresh fish maw can be paired with a glass of frozen Burgundy Chablis. The traditional fried cake has also been improved, and the focus is certainly not the small spoonful of top-grade Amur caviar on it. It is to make the outer layer of the whole cake dry and crispy. Many people like the aroma of rice cakes, but are deterred by the greasy texture. Now there is a modern solution to traditional problems. The traditional hard dishes are still of solid quality. The presentation form took a lot of effort. The plump 36-month-old lion head goose with big goose feet is my favorite Chaoshan marinade. After removing the bones and cutting into strips, it has taken off the wildness of the grass and rivers and become gentle and delicate. The improvement ideas of modern Chaoshan cuisine may be seen from the design of wine. Many traditional Chaoshan restaurants are more suitable for drinking cognac and Chinese liquor, while Wu Xiandai’s overall system is more suitable for wine appreciation and matching. The system creation of the atmosphere has also changed from traditional festive carnival to Zen-like tranquil aesthetics. Of course, the greatest value of modernity lies in the continuous self-iteration and growth, which is also my expectation for "Wu Xiandai Chaoshan Cuisine". It’s great to be young.
