Lotte Dynasty is a brand of Singapore's Lotte Restaurant Group, which has a strong brand strength since 2002 with nearly 60 restaurants under 12 F&B brands across Asia. Among the branches in Shanghai, there are three Le Xin Dynasty that are directly responsible for the original chefs and operations team from the main store in Singapore, and the products and tastes are worth recommending.
The small cage of the Lexin Dynasty is larger than the small cage of Din Tai Fung, but it is smaller than the traditional Shanghai small cage such as Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop. Its signature is the eight-color Dynasty xiaolong, which is known to a wide range of diners for this dish. Eight colours distinguish the dumplings with different ingredients and flavors according to eight different colours: white fresh meat dumplings, orange crab roe dumplings, red spicy dumplings, yellow cheese dumplings, green loofah dumplings, light brown foie gras dumplings, grey garlic dumplings, and black black truffle dumplings. Among them, the original fresh meat xiaolong has a decent taste, which is not much different from the traditional xiaolong in Shanghai. Among the eight types of small cages, the most impressive ones are the cheese dumplings and the loofah dumplings: the cheese dumplings have a mellow taste, a strong cheese flavor, and a burst of pulp in the mouth; The loofah xiaolong is very refreshing and will be a taste that vegetarians like. The color of the eight-color xiaolong mainly comes from the natural color of the ingredients, so there is no need to worry about whether the eight-color xiaolongong pigment is artificially added.
In order to make the xiaolong look better, the Le Xin Dynasty put a lot of effort into the choice of flour, and they added low-gluten flour to the Chinese high-gluten flour to achieve better toughness and color of the skin. The so-called "flour gluten" refers to the protein content in the flour, which is high in protein content and dark in color, and is mostly used to make shortbread or shortbread in pastries; Low-gluten flour has low protein content and white color, and is mostly used to make cakes and muffins; There is also all-purpose flour used to make steamed buns and steamed buns.
As a special restaurant that takes the mid-to-high-end route, the service level of Lexin Dynasty is naturally not a problem, and as soon as the diners enter the door, all the waiters will shout the slogan "welcome". The waiter will also give reminders about the dishes, such as not recommending the eight-color xiaolong dipped in vinegar, and sometimes enthusiastically ask if the dishes are delicious.
