Shijia Hotel has undergone public-private partnership and state-owned restructuring, and after entering the new century, it once opened a number of branches in Ligongdi and other places. However, the recent situation of Shijia Hotel is very bleak, the management is not good, the boss ran away, the Jinji Lake store and the old Mudu store have been seized and auctioned, and the only remaining Qiongling Road store has been closed for a long time, and the old store has been newly opened, and the new operator has taken over.
Shijia Hotel has always been famous for the top ten famous dishes at home, and now the new Shijia Hotel retains most of the old kitchen team, and the top ten famous dishes are still the signature of Shijia. In addition to the top ten famous dishes, the restaurant has a number of dishes such as Jiangnan River seafood, Jiangnan style dishes, seasonal Jiangnan, Subang tradition, Jiangnan cold dishes, etc., which are presented in the form of bright files.
Catfish lung soup is the number one signboard of Shijia Hotel, and even synonymous with Shijia Hotel. The so-called "catfish" refers to the grouped fish, which is very similar to the pufferfish, and the catfish lung is the liver of the grouper; A catfish lung, a fish skin and fish meat, hang fresh with chicken soup, add ham, winter bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms into the pot to simmer in the soup, the soup is weak, the fish liver is fat, the umami is slightly lacking, and the catfish lung and fish skin still have a freshwater fishy smell. Catfish lung soup also has the saying of "cold liver and hot soup", take the fish liver and put it in cold food, and then drink the hot soup, the flavor is more sufficient.
The other signature dishes, although difficult to compare with the old times, are generally appropriate, the ingredients are not top-notch, and the taste restoration is quite thorough. Although the eel paste is not poured with oil, it is rare to be salty and sweet, and the eel silk is thick, but for diners who are used to the taste of Su Xibang, the sweetness will be relatively dull. Three-shrimp tofu is also the restaurant's signature dish, the tofu is white and delicate, and the shrimp and shrimp brains are sweet and fresh. Fried shrimp selection fresh green shrimp to remove the beard, feet, hot pot bursting, shrimp shell crispy and easy to take off, no meat oil, soy sauce, full of original flavor, fresh and tender meat, sweet and salty, excellent wine. Shijia sauce is not as crispy as before, but the taste is the same, sweet and delicious, fat but not greasy. The chanterelle and rape heart soup is orange and fragrant, and the ham is fresh, with a full aroma but a heavy oily feeling.
Today's Shijia Hotel is located near Lingyan Mountain, the location is not remote, opposite to Ganglong Lehui City, not far from Mudu Ancient Town. The area of the restaurant is not small, a total of two floors, renovated inside and outside, there are pavilions and pavilions, small tables, boxes and banquet halls, the tables are spacious and comfortable, hot and cold dishes, aquatic products and other bright stalls. Compared with the poor dining experience at the end of the old restaurant in Mudu Old Street, the new Shijia restaurant has improved, with a good service attitude, optimized serving speed, and attention to diners' feedback, but it is not professional enough, and the service rhythm is a little chaotic. The restaurant has convenient parking and plenty of parking spaces, so it is the best choice for traveling by car.
