The pursuit of elegance is the essence of vegetarianism. Ruo Lanci is named after the gentleman in the flower - orchid, the store is quiet and pure, and the style is noble; The owner has a Buddhist background, but there is no overly strong religious atmosphere in the store, which is in line with the brand tone of "good is like water, good food is like orchid". Ruolanci also has a store in Saihuan, Hong Kong, but in terms of environment and production, the Shenzhen store, which opened late, is better.
Ruo Lanci is located next to Park Hyatt Place on the Happy Coast, stepping into the door surrounded by fine bamboo, you can see that the store is based on the theme of logs, and the pale yellow color combination shows the traditional and elegant style of the East, and at the same time, there is a modern aesthetic emphasis on the ability and simplicity. Passing through the tea room and the hall dominated by two-person tables, you will come to the balcony with a transparent skylight, with plenty of lighting and a small bridge and flowing water in the Happy Coast Scenic Area outside the window, and the dining environment is first-class. There are not many private rooms in the restaurant, and gatherings of less than 8 people can usually only be arranged on the balcony, but each table is separated by a screen, which emphasizes more privacy than ordinary restaurants.
Chef Lin Licun, who was the head chef of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, brought the strict control of the production of star hotels to Ruolanci. The proper combination of ingredients and exquisite shapes allow guests to distinguish Ruolanci from other vegetarian restaurants at first sight. The hand-peeled bamboo shoots are very popular as an appetizing cold dish, and the sour and spicy pickled peppers are combined with the tender bamboo shoot cores, and the fairy dry ice decoration brings a double enjoyment of taste and vision. However, due to the seasonal limitations of fresh bamboo shoots, the production of this dish is unstable, and the roots of some bamboo shoots are too old, which affects the taste. Purple bean rolls are often recommended by waiters as a signature dish, and they are indeed worthy of this name. The puff pastry has a crunchy taste, and the seaweed wrapped inside releases its fragrance at the moment of biting, which shows that the ingredients are exquisite; The accompanying agaricus mushrooms are grilled just right, the mushroom umbrella part is cooked until crispy, and the mushroom stem part remains tender and juicy; Finally, a few pieces of avocado drizzled with sweet soy sauce are added, and the whole dish is quite good in terms of presentation and texture, the only downside may be that it is slightly greasy and full. Another recommended staple dish is the curry and vegetable finger cake, which has a fluffy texture and crispy skin, and the waiter will take the initiative to help tear the crust after serving, and it is very satisfying to eat it with curry. Although it is a vegetarian restaurant, the curry of this dish is rich in flavor, the flavor of coconut milk is particularly prominent, and the rich and mellow flavor of a few stewed cauliflower flowers makes this Southeast Asian-style dish very popular and worth recommending.
In addition to vegetarian options, Ruo Lanci also offers a tea tasting program, and the waiter will ask guests if they want it before ordering. In addition, the store also sells some desserts, teas and vegetarian related ingredients, so those who are interested may wish to pay attention.
