Founded in October 2002, Xiangxuan is a large-scale restaurant chain enterprise integrating Huxiang food management, Huxiang cultural dissemination and Huxiang characteristic original ecological food and food production, processing and sales. It has a 16-year-old status in the Hunan restaurant in Shanghai. Xiangxuan has won the "315 Assured Consumption Integrity Member Unit", "China Famous Restaurant" and "Shanghai Catering and Food Gold Award" for several times, and has also become the first choice for Hunan villagers' family banquets because of its chain professional restaurant business model.
Xiangxuan Restaurant selected the most popular eight dishes in the past 16 years since its opening, and officially launched it after being improved and upgraded by Li Can, the master of Hunan cuisine in Changsha Fire Palace. Xiangxuan's signature pork knuckle, selected Hunan black pig trotters, cooked by 18 ancient techniques, burned soft and glutinous. This dish also won the Shanghai Hunan Cuisine Gold Award and enjoys the reputation of "Bear Paw Race". The fried meat of the black pig is made of free-range black pigs, which are eaten by mountain spring water and natural weeds, and the slaughter time is longer, so the meat is fine fat and curd, and the sweetness is overflowing. Hunan's traditional famous dish Dongting red simmered soft-shelled turtle is also one of the indispensable dishes on the banquet table. When cooking soft-shelled turtle, add an old fire soup made with old hen and stick bones, and simmer for 40 minutes before the color is bright red and delicious. After eating, the soft-shelled turtle is then scooped with rice in the original soup to enjoy the original taste. Dongting chopped pepper fish head, selected from Hunan Dongting Lake wild silver carp head, with secret chopped chili steamed, the dish is red and bright, fresh and spicy and delicious, and it is also the top sales of Xiangxuan over the years. In addition, there are Dongting Lake beautiful frog pot, skewered shrimp, Youxian fragrant dry bowl, Shimen dry pot fat sausage, eight traditional dishes to form a family banquet menu, for large group activities to provide a selection of set dishes, can also be three or five people a la carte to taste delicious.
In addition to the traditional Dacai Town store, the special snacks personally prepared by the Hunan chef are also worth recommending. The hometown glutinous rice cake has a soft and sticky taste, wrapped in crushed peanuts and shredded coconut, with a sweet taste, which is a must-order for Xiangxuan diners. Xiangxuan's special baked cakes, the crispy skin exudes an attractive fragrance, and the fried meat filling makes people can't help but eat a few more. Hunan stinky tofu, freshly fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and then dipped in a special spicy sauce, also smelly and fragrant, difficult to resist the temptation.
The flagship store of Xiangxuan Restaurant is a single-family two-storey building, and the exterior wall with lights is brightly lit at night, which is quite ancient. After the restaurant has been readjusted in the past two years, there are not many styles of dishes, focusing on high-quality Hunan cuisine. As a veteran restaurant that has been operating in Shanghai for more than ten years, Xiangxuan has not paid attention to improving the level of cuisine, and it is a pity that it gradually looks mediocre in the emerging Hunan restaurants that have sprung up in Shanghai. The interior decoration is antique, open and atmospheric, with warm orange lighting that is comforting. The dining table is set between the decorated pavilions. The restaurant service staff are very respectful, serve the food quickly, and patiently answer the characteristics of the dishes for diners. The box space is sufficient, the sound insulation effect is good, and the name of the room is named after the well-known place name in Hunan, which has a unique charm. There is a park parking lot next door, and you can get a three-hour free parking coupon provided by the store when you dine, which is intimate and convenient.
