Aman Fayun is perhaps the ideal hotel to experience the countryside of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the idyllic idylls of ancient China, and the Lanxuan Village Restaurant has the same sense of independence as Aman Fayun. Beside the bluestone path and the mountain stream, Lanxuan, with its wooden doors and black tiles and farmhouse-like appearance, is like any old house in Fayun Ancient Village, coexisting harmoniously with the surrounding mountains, forests, birds and insects. The restaurant is also simple and has no superfluous decorations, the style of tables and chairs borrows elements from the Ming and Qing dynasties, the design is simple and generous, and the waiters are also dressed according to the theme of the village, so that diners feel as if they are dining in a landscape village.

Just like its name, "Village Restaurant", Lan Xuan was too small, with less than 10 tables, and the only round table for ten people was separated by a curtain, barely half a box. Lan Xuan is unobtrusive from the exterior of the building to the presentation of the food, and the reason why it is so popular with diners is that its finesse and attention are used in invisible places, especially in the choice of ingredients, only camellia seed oil, Gulong Tiancheng soy sauce and oyster sauce imported from Japan, these three things that customers can't see cost almost 10 times more than other restaurants. Although Lanxuan does the taste of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, its production is not completely localized, and the selected ingredients of the season come from all over the world, such as Qingyuan chicken, Australian Wagyu beef, or selected Guangdong taro, Maojiabu locals' own stinky tofu, the quality of the ingredients is very good.

Lan Xuan's cooked and drunk seafood is well done, and diners who don't like to get drunk can also try it, such as Huadiao cooked drunk crab, which uses a total of three kinds of wine: the 2012 limited edition Tapai handmade winter wine, Feitian Moutai and dry white wine, plus carefully selected Hong Kong-made soy sauce, after simple seasoning and marinating, the mouth is fresh and delicate, and the aftertaste is endless. Due to the seasonal nature of the ingredients, you can also try the cooked drunken green dragon or conch as an alternative when the crab is not served.

The stinky tofu and shrimp with Hangzhou's local characteristics brought many diners a surprise, but the two unrelated ingredients were skillfully combined by the chef. Stinky tofu is handmade by the locals, with the softness of stinky tofu on the market, there is no choking smell, but there is a special flavor of stinky tofu, cut into square pieces by the chef, wrapped in a thin layer of slurry with shrimp, rolled into the oil pan and then stir-fried, the tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a special taste. This dish is very laborious, which shows that the chef has a good grasp of the heat.

Lan Xuan uses Western-style cooking techniques to cook a lot of dishes, the most memorable for the local stomach, there is a dish of steamed local chicken with chicken fir mushrooms, the main ingredient is Qingyuan chicken, plus the agaricus mushroom, chicken fir and He Xian mushroom in the southwest mountainous area, steamed together to taste, very fresh. This local chicken must be marinated for 12 hours, and then dry steaming for half an hour, when out of the pot, the salty and umami flavor has evenly penetrated into the chicken, the chicken is fragrant and tender and the chicken fir fungus is crisp and smooth, the bright yellow chicken skin and chicken fat with full color fully arouse the appetite of diners, which can be described as beautiful color, fragrance and fragrance.

There are not many dishes in Lanxuan, about 30 kinds, providing three set meals for two and four set meals for three people. It takes more time to eat in Lanxuan, because Lanxuan's dishes are all time-consuming and labor-intensive dishes, and the dishes are served slowly, if the time is not urgent, you can chat and wait slowly. In addition to gathering with family and friends to share food, Lan Xuan is also a suitable place for business people to discuss. In terms of service, Lanxuan's professionalism and attitude are relatively ordinary, which does not match the 15% service fee charged. Due to the lack of seats in the restaurant, if you want to eat, you should make a reservation at least two days in advance to facilitate the restaurant arrangement.
