West Lake Mansion is definitely the most authentic Zhejiang restaurant in Guangzhou, and it is also the most cost-effective. The West Lake Mansion is located in Zhejiang Building, Xianlie Middle Road, which is a four-star hotel invested by the Zhejiang Provincial Government, and the upstairs is the Zhejiang Provincial Office in Guangzhou. In terms of popularity, West Lake Mansion is far inferior to chain brands such as Grandma's House, but the production does have obvious local characteristics, and the ingredients, practices and even chefs here are all from the local area, and you can often see Zhejiang locals dining here. In the production of West Lake Mansion, Hangzhou cuisine occupies an important role. Appetizers such as osmanthus sugar lotus, fragrant dried maran head, three fresh roasted bran, and vegetarian roast goose taste very good, and the taste is pure and full of flavor. Sweet and sour short ribs and sweet and sour tenderloin are popular, and only sugar, vinegar and soy sauce are used for seasoning, making them very pure. Unlike the sweet and sour bones or grunt pork in Cantonese cuisine, tomato sauce or hawthorn and pineapple are not added here to increase acidity, which are two completely different ways of seasoning. After the sweet and sour chops are served, you can smell a little balsamic vinegar, which is not improved, the sour taste is very strong, and the taste is closest to the flavor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Osmanthus sugar lotus root production is also worthy of praise, this is a traditional snack in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the finished dish has real osmanthus instead of osmanthus flavor, lotus root is soft and glutinous but not sticky to the teeth, not powdery and not greasy, quite chewy. The Dongpo meat of the Southern Song Dynasty is served in a small white round cup, and the large square pork belly is divided into four parts, the color is dark brown, soft and delicious. Sour beets are characterized by rice, which makes people appetizing at first, but it is easy to get tired when you eat more, so it is recommended to order two beets at one table. In contrast, Cantonese cuisine pursues the original flavor and emphasizes light and delicious, which is very different from the thick oil red sauce of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. Jiangnan people are good at cooking fish, and fish occupies a lot of space in the menu of the West Lake Mansion. Squirrel Cinnamon Fish, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Braised Catfish, and Crab Roe Cinnamon Fish are classic dishes with stable production. Wine-stuffed anchovies, Qianlong fish heads, toon slippery fish fillets, steamed catfish with winter vegetables, steamed yellow croaker with pickled cabbage and other dishes that cannot be cooked in ordinary Jiangsu and Zhejiang restaurants are also available here, which shows the chef's profound skills. In addition, the Guiyu mentioned by Cantonese people is actually the mandarin fish in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Guiyu is likely to be another word. The dishes at the West Lake Mansion are very rich, and the number of dishes is twice as large as that of my grandmother's house. The common dishes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine are West Lake sauce duck, fairy duck pot, ten-year old drunken chicken, Song sister-in-law fish soup, fish ball and lettuce soup, etc. Vegetables such as braised spring bamboo shoots, dried reed artemisia, and beef tenderloin with Hangzhou pepper are purchased locally, and the method is authentic and authentic; Even ordinary rice cakes have a variety of methods, in addition to the common fried rice cakes with crab, you can also use shredded pork leeks, sauced pork winter bamboo shoots, pickled cabbage and other ingredients to stir-fry. There are also many dishes that are rare in other restaurants, such as Pian Er Chuan, shrimp fried eel noodles, Yangchun noodles, dry fried stinky tofu, etc. However, it is not recommended to order the fried buns and xiao long bao here, the taste is not satisfactory. In order to cater to the taste of Cantonese people, some Cantonese dishes have been added to the menu, such as sea cucumber with abalone sauce, shrimp with garlic vermicelli, pan-fried beef ribs, and stewed official swallow with papaya, so that diners have more choices. The West Lake Mansion is located on the second and third floors of Zhejiang Building, with nearly 20 private rooms on the second floor and a hall on the third floor. The round tables and square tables in the hall on the third floor are staggered, ranging from four-person tables to ten-person round tables; On one side is a four-person booth, which has a high degree of privacy; You can see the busy traffic of the city by the window, which is suitable for a small gathering of three or five confidants. The black chairs and red pillows, the elegant vases, and the red and festive chandeliers complement each other, all of which are just like the appearance in the Jiangnan Restaurant. Although the waiter is a certain age, he responds in a timely manner, is cordial and not attentive, and answers all questions. The dishes are served quickly and the dishes are changed frequently, which is commendable. The tea in the hall is 5 yuan, the room is 10 yuan, and the cleaning fee for bringing your own drinks is 5 yuan per person. With less than 100 yuan per person, it is suitable for both business banquets and family gatherings. Although the chef has changed, the standard of the dishes has been stable.
