As the official Chinese restaurant of Jin Jiang Hotel, Jin Lu has always been regarded as a foreign-related business card of Shanghai cuisine, and even if it is a joint venture with Singapore, it is still an out-and-out state-owned catering leader, with numerous awards.
Jinlu focuses on Chinese and Western food, that is, the ingredients of Chinese and Western food are creatively composed. Pan-fried foie gras slices and duck crispy square pancakes are the most popular appetizers, inspired by Peking duck, with a sweet and thick sauce that sets the tone for the thick red sauce of the local dish. The square pancake is moderately thick, the duck crisp is in the front, the foie gras is behind, and there is a crispy tofu skin to increase the three-dimensional taste, and the shredded green onion is mixed with a shredded orange peel to minimize the greasy feeling, which is really eye-catching; When eating, roll it up, one bite of three, which can not only slightly cushion hunger, but also not sluggish. The lobster trilogy is a masterpiece of Jinlu's own innovative Chinese cuisine, which divides the lobster meat into three sections and makes them into stir-fried shrimp with hibiscus, wheat shrimp balls and stewed eggs with shrimp paste, three different forms, but all restore the sweetness and firmness of the lobster meat. The other Singaporean method of lobster is more flavorful, with the lobster balls being made into two balls, one of which is still wrapped in cereal after frying, and the other is topped with mustard mayonnaise, which is sweet and spicy, complementing the solid bite of the lobster.
There are also a lot of improved local dishes in the menu, such as fungus, shiitake mushrooms and goldenrod added to the roasted bran, which is a particularly interesting blend of toughness and softness, softness and crispiness; The fat and lean level of pork belly with skin is uniform, the amount of sugar and heat are strictly controlled, and 6-7 heads of Dalian fresh abalone are put into it after browning, both of which are thick and plump, and the taste is smooth. Many Western dishes also make their own flavors, such as the sauce of black pepper sauce and snowflake beef, which is very similar to sweet and sour short ribs in taste and texture, which is quite surprising.
Jinlu can be a la carte, and there is also a business lunch set of 98 yuan/person, mainly a pasta, dim sum and dessert; The lunch set is 228 yuan per person, including two appetizers, a piece of rice, seasonal vegetables and desserts. If you want to taste Jinlu's signature dishes, you can try the work package, which is available at three price points: 350 yuan, 550 yuan and 850 yuan, and all of the above packages are subject to an additional 10% service charge. However, Jinlu's service still has the indifference and casualness prevailing in state-run hotels, and it is recommended to lower the expectations for service.
The ingredients used in Jinlu are exquisite, the taste is accurate, and the creativity can also be seen with good intentions, but for the dishes with light seasoning and focusing on highlighting the original flavor of the ingredients, Jinlu also has shortcomings in kung fu, which is not unrelated to the foundation of the gang, so when ordering, you can prefer to order the dishes with heavy sauce and high heat.
