Continue to update this series, and thank you for your support! We're going to write a big article recently, with a high per capita. There is a white swan in the heart of every old Guangzhou. I remember that I said I would write down the dinner with you after I finished writing the morning tea of the white swan, so I will write down the dinner of the White Swan Yutang Spring Warm Restaurant this time, and make a reservation by calling two days in advance, so I can get a better seat, which will be described in detail below. Of course, this article with special commemorative significance invites us to be the captain of the food team: Yi, accompany me to complete this shop visit!
Before exploring the store, let's go to the White Swan Hotel with you. If you are not interested, you can just go to the next chapter.
As the saying goes, there is a white swan in every old man's heart. Although the hardware of this hotel on Shamian Island, an "urban oasis" in Guangzhou, is not as good as that of some high-end five-star hotels, it carries the collective memories and feelings of many citizens and guests. The strength of the white swan lies in its human touch, because it has never refused guests since the first day it opened its doors, that is, you can visit there without spending money. Guangzhou people have returned this kindness with their goodwill for 3 years, just as Guangzhou people call the white swan "goose"!
Not only that, White Swan is the first five-star hotel in China, the first five-star hotel with joint venture and the first five-star hotel designed, built and operated by China people. Since its opening more than 2 years ago, White Swan Hotel has received the heads of state and government of more than 4 countries. Queen Elizabeth II, US President Bush, Nixon, German Chancellor Kohl, Castro, Kissinger, Sihanouk, Lee Kuan Yew and other international celebrities have stopped here. Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up, visited the "White Swan" three times and wrote an inscription, which is unique among high-star hotels in China and foreign countries.
The design of White Swan Hotel inherits the essence of China traditional garden and Lingnan traditional garden design. The atrium focuses on Bishan Waterfall, forming a unique Lingnan style, which has the function of integrating historical flavor and cultural connotation into the architectural space as a whole. Let's put down photos here for everyone to see.
Therefore, the status of White Swan in Guangzhou is very high. In 1985, it became the first member of the world-class hotel organization in China. In 199, it became one of the first three five-star hotels in China; In 1996, it ranked first in the selection of the top 5 hotels in China, and has been rated as the first choice hotel for international business people to Guangzhou by international famous media such as international travel guides for many years. In 21, Guangzhou White Swan Hotel was recognized as a cultural relic in the third national cultural relic survey in Guangdong Province.
of course, the food produced in its restaurant is also very good. Next, let's get down to business and write about its delicious food. Last time, I wrote about morning tea, so this time I wrote about dinner. White Swan's morning tea is mainly in Hongtufu on the second floor and Yutang Chunnuan on the third floor. Both restaurants are restaurants with Michelin and black pearls commented by the public, among which Yutang Chunnuan is the only black pearl with three diamonds and one Michelin star commented by the public, and Hongtufu recommends restaurants for Michelin. Except for the different environment, the dim sum and price of the two dining places are the same, so everyone can choose according to their own needs. Morning tea has been written, so the protagonist of this time is Yutang Chunnuan Restaurant for dinner.
Yutang Chunnuan Restaurant is located on the third floor of White Swan Hotel. The whole restaurant decoration is based on the primitive simplicity of the Republic of China. As soon as you come to the main entrance, you will see the facade of the restaurant. The wooden plaque on the door reads the words Jade Hall is warm in spring, and there are two little lions on the facade.
As soon as you enter the front door, there is the front desk. The tables on the right side of the front desk are full of awards won by the restaurant, such as Michelin Star, the public comment on the Black Pearl Three Diamond Restaurant, etc. On the left side, there is publicity for the moon cakes that are coming out now, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.
Then there is the lobby of the restaurant. In the middle of the lobby, there are garden-like pavilions and patios with rockeries in the middle. There are many koi fish swimming in the pool, which adds a lively atmosphere to the restaurant. Around the pool is a row of dining tables. This time, the reservation is arranged by the pool, and the MM who just plays the guzheng is also directly opposite, so it is better to make a reservation in advance.
Further into the pool seat is a booth with a screen, a box, or the dining environment in the inner lobby. I will release the pictures I can take, but there is no room where I can see the river. Please forgive me if I can't take them!
All the clothes for serving the younger sister here are also dressed in cheongsam with the style of the Republic of China, and the service is of course great. When the younger sister is soaked, she will always stare at the teacup, and when it is gone, she will serve it, and the frequency of changing plates is also very fast. After all, there is a 15% service charge, so the service is very satisfactory!
Before we start, let me show you the menu here. There are three menus, one for tea, one for dinner, and the other for dessert. The menu cover of dessert is also in the style of the Republic of China. Let's take a picture of the menu for everyone to see. Two people, based on the principle of not wasting, can only take up a few dishes, but they will order two signature dishes. Ok, let's go to the dish review session!
1. White-cut sunflower chicken
Price: 338 yuan/half
Recommended star rating: ★★★★★ ★
What is sunflower chicken? So before we start, let's share with you the first chicken in Guangzhou: sunflower chicken, which is located in the Million Sunflower Garden in Wanqingsha, Panyu, Guangzhou. It is originally a botanical garden for viewing sunflowers. In addition to winning the million sunflower garden, there is also a specialty food, which is the first chicken in Guangzhou-sunflower chicken. Sunflower chicken is a whim of the boss of sunflower garden, mainly to solve the recycling of sunflower resources in the garden, thus making it the first delicious and nutritious chicken in Guangzhou today. The reason why the chickens in the sunflower garden are named sunflower chickens is entirely because of the food they are raised, which has nothing to do with the variety. Sunflower chickens live in a corner of the sunflower garden, and there is a system that can control the temperature and humidity. They feed on fresh sunflower plates and leaves, and the juice squeezed from sun-dried sunflower is water. When the sunflower will wither, the staff will cut off the sunflower tray, break it with sunflower leaves, and mix it with feed to provide food for sunflower chickens. Anyone who has been to Panyu knows that this kind of chicken is unique to Million Sunflower Garden. It grows up from snack sunflower and feeds on fresh sunflower plates and leaves. It is the designated chicken for Guangzhou White Swan Hotel. Sunflower chicken tastes delicious, its skin is yellow and crisp, and its fat is low. The chewed bones all have the fragrance of sunflower seeds, so even if it is steamed, it can be eaten without dipping in seasoning, and it will be full of praise.
? White-cut sunflower chicken is the traditional white-cut chicken, which is also called white-cut chicken. It is one of the eight major cuisines in China, and it started in private hotels in the Qing Dynasty. It belongs to soaked chickens. It is characterized by simple production, just cooked and not rotten, no ingredients and original flavor. White-cut chicken skin is smooth and smooth, light and delicious, and it is well-known in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. White-cut chicken usually uses fine-boned peasant chicken, ginger, minced garlic, onion and other ingredients, which are boiled and soaked in slow fire, dried and cut into pieces. After cooking, the color is white with oily yellow, the skin is refreshing, the meat is smooth and the bones are fragrant, and it is light and delicious.
The white-cut sunflower chicken here should be cooked by soaking in soup and served cold. The dish is relatively exquisite, the chicken is cut evenly and neatly, and the chicken skin on it is golden and bright, and then the dish is filled with a porcelain dish similar to Ru Ci in azure glaze color. The color of the plate is elegant and natural, and the sunflower chicken with golden skin complements each other!
white-cut chicken pays attention to its original flavor. When you pick up a piece of chicken, you will first feel the smoothness and refreshing of chicken skin, the tenderness and sweetness of chicken, the fragrance of chicken oil oozing between skin and meat, and the softness and fragrance of chicken bones! To sum up, it is smooth, tender, fresh and fragrant, but I have never tasted the smell of sunflower seeds, haha. Of course, there is also a dip with ginger and onion, but it is lighter. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is dipped or not. I like to eat it directly, which is more authentic. You can choose according to your personal needs. This chicken is very good, in summary, five stars, recommended!
2. Barbecued pork of Iberian black-haired pig
Price: 268 yuan
Recommended star rating: ★★★★★★ ★
Barbecued pork is a traditional famous dish in Guangdong Province and belongs to Cantonese cuisine. It's a kind of Guangdong roast. Mostly red, made of lean meat, slightly sweet. It is to hang the salted lean pork on a special fork and put it in the furnace for barbecue. Good barbecued pork should be tender and juicy, bright in color and full of fragrance. Among them, the balance between fat and lean meat is the best, which is called "semi-fat and thin". Other dishes cooked with barbecued pork include: barbecued pork rice, barbecued pork bun, barbecued pork crisp, etc.
As a signature dish, this dish really surprised me. It took a long time to prepare the meal, but the cooking on the spot was very distinctive, and high-quality Iberian black-haired pork was selected.
First of all, this dish is more ceremonial. Before the start, the chef will push the dining car with barbecued pork hanging on it, and then cook it with sea salt and roses, which will take about 5 minutes.
As the skin of barbecued pork becomes compact after high temperature, it tastes a little crunchy at the entrance, while the inside remains soft and tender. The oil does not volatilize too much, it tastes oily but not greasy, and there is a faint bouquet. Barbecued pork has a complete section and a layered taste. I don't feel greasy at all. It's much more delicious than Bingsheng's. All the liquidation is finished. One detail is that there is a candle under the plate, which can keep the residual temperature and keep the taste of barbecued pork to the maximum extent! To sum up, this dish has five stars and is recommended!
3. Lanren Saqima
Price: 32 yuan
Recommended star rating: ★★★★★ ★
This is a famous spot of White Swan Hotel, which has been transformed by Chef Tan and several generations of famous chefs of White Swan Hotel. Everyone reads more Putonghua than Shaqima. Let's share the popular science with you before tasting. Shaqima also writes "Shaqima", "Shaqima", "Shaqima" and "Sazima". Are they in Manchu? (sacima) transliteration. Hong Kong calls it "Ma Zi", which is a sweet pastry with Manchu characteristics. But why is it called Lanren? In fact, this is the kernel of the olive tree, which is one of the five-kernel moon cakes. Mainly produced in Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian and Taiwan Province, it is rich in oil and tastes sweet, but it is relatively expensive because of its low output. Ordinary Saqima is also often replaced by pumpkin seeds and almonds.
the saqima of the white swan first looks beige, and the two pieces are cut neatly and symmetrically. There are some plums on the top, and Saqi's noodles are a little shiny because of adding syrup, and decorated with a purple flower. At the bottom, there is coconut. You can look at the pictures. When you get closer, you will smell the faint scent of eggs and coconut.
Saqima tastes crisp and soft at the entrance, and it won't be sweet. Its mixed fragrance with the thick fragrance of eggs, coconut and honey syrup will keep lingering on your tongue, sweet and delicious, but not greasy. After eating the Saqima here, you will feel the gap compared with it outside, and only you can understand it. Five star recommendation!
4, stir-fried vegetables
Price: 98 yuan
Recommended star: ★★★★ ★
In fact, this is a fried kale with garlic, and its bright color, overbearing garlic flavor does not hide the freshness of kale at all. After stir-frying, kale still remains crisp, light green and a little sweet. I can see that the Chinese kale ingredients are excellent, and the Chinese kale has been completely emptied!
5. Dry-fried Niuhe
Price: 18 yuan
Recommended star rating: ★★★★ ★
Dry-fried Niuhe is a Cantonese dish made of sprouts, rice noodles, beef and other materials. One of the traditional snacks in Guangdong. Invented in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. River powder, also known as Shahefen, originated from sha he. Usually the cooking method is to put soup or stir fry. Dry-fried Niuhe is considered to be a big test of Guangdong chefs' cooking skills, and the quality of the skills will be known after a try.
Niuhe was fried salty for the first time, so I asked for a new plate. Fifteen minutes later, a new one came back. Stir-fry the sprouts, leek and scallion. The soy sauce is colored, the salt is moderate, and the Chili sauce is added to stimulate the appetite and enhance the fragrance. The beef is tender and thin. The weight is touching, the CD is incompetent, and it can only be packaged.
6. Jasmine green tea
Price: 2 yuan/person
Recommended star rating: ★★★★ ★
The green tea of a person in 2 yuan is not bad, so don't make too many comments!
environment: ★★★★★
service: ★★★★★
price: ★★★★
taste: ★★★★★
recommended star rating: ★★★★★
two people, after eating, the service charge is 14 yuan, and the average person is 52 yuan. To sum up, as an old restaurant, its products are online, and none of the orders are thunderous, that is, the price is a bit high. Haha, just as the slogan written on the first side of the White Swan Yutang Spring Warm Menu said, "Yutang Spring Warm is the most authentic and exquisite Cantonese cuisine, and it is not limited to the traditional style. Whether it is exquisite handmade creative snacks or famous Guangfu dishes that have been well-known for many years, it comes from the ingenuity of Cantonese cuisine masters. Every bite leaves a long-standing Lingnan flavor between the teeth and cheeks, making Yutang Chunnuan a favorite of local gourmets and Chinese and foreign guests. " Therefore, the status of Yutang Chunnuan Restaurant in Guangzhou Cantonese Restaurant is still very high. I feel that friends who come to Guangzhou have the opportunity to try it in their lifetime, not to mention rich people. Finally, do you think this house is worth eating?
