Lexin Classic (Suzhou Center) - Business Reviews

Born from the same family as the famous Le Xin Dynasty Master of the Eight-Colored Xiaolong, Le Xin Classic is a Nanyang Chinese cuisine under the Singapore Le Xin Group. The so-called Nanyang Chinese cuisine is a reinterpretation of the hometown cuisine by the Fujianese, Chaozhou, Hakka, Guangdong and Hainan people who migrated to Southeast Asia in the early days, combining the unique spices, ingredients and cooking techniques of Nanyang, with sweet and sour aroma as the main flavor type, which is very unique in Chinese cuisine or Southeast Asian cuisine.

Rat powder, whether it is the name of the dish or the appearance is prohibitive, is actually the most prestigious signature of Lexin Classic. The main material is handmade with tapioca flour, sweet potato flour and glutinous rice flour, and it is named rat flour because the head and tail are long and resemble mice. Among them, there are shrimp, eggs, mushrooms, preserved vegetables and minced meat, after serving, while the eggs are not fully cooked, pour the salted fish lime juice in the small plate into the pot, quickly stir evenly, and then eat. The mouse powder is smooth and strong, the salted fish and lime are the finishing touches, hanging out a rich aroma, salty and slightly sour, thick and thick are not greasy, and the taste is chic.

Lexin's classic Crispy Coffee Chicken is more elaborate than other restaurants, the whole chicken thigh is soaked in Nanyang coffee juice, apple sauce and sour plum sauce and boiled until crispy and then fried, and finally the juice is reduced with coffee sauce and sprinkled with almond slices after cooking. The entrance is first overbearing sweet, and then quiet bitter, with nutty aroma as the medium of the two flavor types blended, although the coffee aroma is slightly lacking, but the overall taste complements each other, full of tacit understanding, it is still worth recommending. The vegetable flavor teppanyaki tofu sounds very homely, and Le Xin has quite ingeniously spread a layer of fried egg skin at the bottom to add a lot of flavor to the bland tofu. The sauce is made with Singapore hot sauce, mushrooms, choy sum and hen soup, and is served with thick thick thick tofu around the tofu, which is salty and thick, and is recommended to be eaten with large mouthful of tofu and rice. At the same time, green mustard shrimp balls, meat crispy eggplant, steamed Qiandao Lake big fish head in Xingzhou sauce, signature buckle meat bun, and original cup stewed local chicken soup are all famous dishes of Lexin's classics.

Most of Lexin's classic dishes are hung with thick thickness, and the seasoning is heavy, and a plate of refreshing side dishes is the most suitable after the meal. Chilled bitter gourd peeled and tendoned, with delicate knife work to make a lotus-shaped plate, single food is refreshing enough, with osmanthus nectar to neutralize the bitterness, the same clear mouth to relieve greasy. Lotte Camp Sancai is guava, pumpkin and cherry tomatoes, especially Xinhui tangerine peel, the unique aroma of tangerine peel soaks the ingredients, salty and sweet intertwined. The colorful cake is divided into three layers, a layer of coconut milk, a layer of pandan jelly and a layer of osmanthus wolfberry. The cake body is crystal clear, not sticky or greasy, the most important thing is that the sweetness is just right, the coconut milk flavor and the fragrance of osmanthus linger around the tongue for a long time, this dessert has a large portion, suitable for many people to order. It is important to note that side dishes are usually served as appetizers, and if you want to finish a meal, you need to declare the order of serving to the waiter in advance.

Lexin's classic service is quite in place, taking the initiative to change dishes and providing napkins, on-call, timely service response, and gentle and courteous attitude. The restaurant has a delicate and elegant environment, which is suitable for a gathering of friends or a business banquet, but the ventilation needs to be improved, and it will be more stuffy when there are many people and the meal time is long.
