Walking through the outdoor dining area and seeing the sunglasses zebra at the entrance means that you have entered the restaurant. The spectacle zebra was originally a room for viewing glasses-free 3D holograms, but this service is no longer available in the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is relatively dim, and the decoration draws on the technique of "borrowing scenery" from Chinese gardens, and the booths are freely interspersed in the windows and door openings of the space, and the design is also distinctive.
In terms of food production, there are three categories of creative fusion dishes: Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and Western kitchen, with attractive individual dishes and of course more simple general dishes. Floating cloud pine nut is the signature of the signboard, the popular in the store, the pine nut is wrapped in marshmallow, and the waiter pours sweet and sour juice on the fish when serving, and the marshmallow then dissolves, revealing the original appearance of the pine nut. Compared with the shape of the dish, the floating cloud pine nut fish is not outstanding in taste, but the ingredients are sea bass with fewer fish bones, and it has a sweet and sour taste, which can be regarded as suitable for all ages. A bite of shrimp tofu is also online, a shrimp ball is stacked on the tofu, a small slice of lime is at the top, the soup is boiled by a scallop, a bite of it, the shrimp ball is fresh and springy, the fried tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the taste is sweet and refreshing. Osmanthus cherry tomatoes are also a popular dish in the store, the cherry tomatoes are drizzled with osmanthus nectar, and dry ice is placed underneath, the mist is ethereal, and the shape is eye-catching. Braised pork, black gold quicksand buns, addictive pork knuckles, flame roast chicken, southern milk foie gras with black steamed buns, etc., are also relatively novel and exquisite dishes. If you like spicy food, it is also worth trying cold sea cherry blossoms, cold sea grapes, and strings of duck kidneys.
In terms of service, the waiters have a good service attitude, and are more active in serving, adding water and putting away dishes, but the training of some employees needs to be strengthened. The restaurant itself has a wide layout, and there are many service blind spots, especially when there are many people, the service is not in place. It should be noted that the outdoor area of the restaurant is not covered and located on the top floor of the mall, so the cooling effect is poor, and there is a significant temperature difference compared with the indoor area, so you need to pay special attention when dining in summer.
