Attentive readers may notice that there is a restaurant on the list in Guangzhou called "Chaofu". In fact, Chaofu and Chaofu belong to the same group, and the dishes are basically the same, with only a slight difference in name. Chaofu Pavilion can be described as the most standardized industry benchmark for Chaozhou cuisine in the commercial field. Although it has not been established for a long time, its resume is quite impressive. In 2010, Chaofu Pavilion was stationed at the Shanghai World Expo as the only official representative of Cantonese cuisine in Guangdong; In 2012, Chaofu Pavilion participated in the Yeosu World Expo in South Korea as the only representative of Chinese food. In 2016, the Guangdong Chaofu Chamber of Commerce opened 128 seats in Panyu Chaofu Pavilion, and the Chaoshan Eight Immortals Table "made a table" banquet in 2016.
There are two Chaofu pavilions in Shanghai, located in Daning Lingshi Park and Century Park respectively. The restaurant directly chooses a single-family building, and in the quiet park, there are Chaoshan people who are still complacent and enjoy the atmosphere of life.
The advantage of Chaofu is that the dishes are complete, and the dishes other than Chaozhou cuisine are also involved, and the description of the dishes on the menu is not too exaggerated. The main signature dish of Chaofu Pavilion is naturally Chaoshan brine cold food, which is the best quality of the brine old goose head, and the age of the goose at the age of 3~5 years ensures the legitimacy of the ingredients. The taste is not salty or light, the meat is firm, and the performance is quite good, which is in line with its price of 598 yuan per case.
Similar to Guangzhou Chaofu, Chaofu Pavilion produces more quaint and traditional products, and few fancy works. Taking frozen red crab as an example, this dish is a cold cooked dish and is highly preferred in Guangdong and Hong Kong. The official claims to use the best red crabs in South Australia, which can reach four or five catties in size. The appearance of a big plump is very attractive, its production method is simple and simple, the original crab is cooked and cooled, the crab shell is smashed and chopped to the table, the crab meat taste is solid, and the meat is delicate and sweet. In addition, the performance of the Tang Zhuo Conch is also good, and it is worth a try.
Similar to Cantonese restaurants, Shanghai Chaofu Pavilion offers tea market services at relatively affordable prices, such as crystal shrimp dumplings, special quicksand buns, fragrant durian crisp, and fried pine nut crisp.
Like Guangzhou Chaofu, the overall cuisine of Chaofu is slightly conservative and rough, and the taste is acceptable, but the overall texture is not good. For business banquets or high-end private banquets, the fineness of the products is not proportional to the price of the dishes. The overall environment of Chaofu Pavilion is spacious and atmospheric, with many private rooms, and there are no minimum consumption, service fees and other indicators. Due to its popularity, diners who need a private room should make a reservation early. The waiter's service attitude is not enthusiastic, and the service quality is acceptable. Parking is free at both stores, but for different lengths – Daning Lingshi Park offers 4 hours of free parking, while Century Park only has 1 hour.
