Chaojiang Spring - Business Reviews

Similar to Carrianna, Chaojiangchun is also a Hong Kong-funded Chaocai restaurant that entered Shenzhen during the reform and opening up. Chaojiangchun's first store in Shenzhen settled in Shenzhen Sunshine Hotel in 1989, becoming the same Chaocai restaurant as Canenna at that time, and for a long time, Chaojiangchun and Carrianna were the two most representative giants of Chaocai in Shenzhen.

Former Cuban President Fidel Castro, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, former Chinese Premier Li Peng, and Hong Kong business tycoon Li Ka-shing were all guests of Chaojiangchun. Chaojiangchun's main specialty is abalone and cucumber wings, and with a long experience in abalone and cucumber wings cooking, Chaojiangchun can be said to be synonymous with top restaurants in Shenzhen in the early years.

There is no shortage of classics in Chaojiangchun's abalone cucumber wings. Vegetable gall wings and Chaozhou wings are the classic signboards of Chaojiang Spring, with classic practices and brilliant tastes. Among them, the so-called Chaozhou wings are the traditional red stew techniques of Chaoshan, shark fin and old chicken, pork ribs, ham and other ingredients are added to the soup soy sauce and slowly boiled, the taste is salty and fresh, the fin needles are glutinous, and the taste is more smooth with red Zhejiang vinegar when eating. However, in recent years, the vegetable gall wings and Chaozhou wings of Chaojiang Spring have shrunk significantly, and the taste is passable, but the amount is unpleasant. Chaojiangchun is also good at cooking a variety of precious ingredients into one cup, such as Cordyceps snail head sea tiger wings, fish maw stewed South African dried abalone, Cordyceps abalone stewed official swallow, etc., the materials are exquisite, and the price is also quite expensive. It is a variant of Chaojiang-style pomegranate chicken, which uses egg whites as the skin, fills with bird's nest and Jinhua ham, wraps it in a pomegranate shape, and is accompanied by broth, which tastes salty and fragrant. Generally, bird's nest is mainly sweet, but this salty method of Chaojiang Spring can better reflect the texture of good bird's nest.

Pan-fried golden oysters are Chaojiangchun's specialty, and it is also Chaojiangchun's chef Luo Chuming's specialty. However, this dish is not strictly a traditional Teochew dish, but a combination of Teochew and Cantonese cuisine, and the ingredients used to fry golden oysters are made of Cantonese-style "oysters", that is, dried oysters. Fry the oysters on low heat until golden brown on both sides, then add Chao-style honey sauce and simmer, after the pot is fat, sweet, full and solid. The signature teapot soup is also expensive, take the wild reservoir water duck, the size is no more than the size of a quail, and 10 cordyceps emperor, red meat, etc. are placed in the purple clay pot and simmered over low heat, the soup is thick and mellow, and the umami is pleasant. Except for a few special dishes, today's Chaojiang Spring is not particularly outstanding in the performance of other traditional Teochew dishes.

Shenzhen Chaojiangchun has three branches: Sunshine Store, Great China Store and Futian Store, with a rich and magnificent restaurant environment, classic Cantonese restaurant decoration, bright lights and warm colors. The floors are high, the space is spacious and comfortable, and the visual effect is transparent, and there is no sense of oppression. The private rooms are luxuriously furnished and comfortable, with a strong sense of privacy. There is a supply of morning tea in Chaojiang Spring on weekdays, the price is close to the people, the service level of the tea market is average, the attitude is improper, all kinds of excuses, and the overall quality needs to be improved. The private room service is better than the tea market service, which is relatively suitable for business banquets.
