If you don't like the moonlight of the lotus pond in Xianlongjing, and you are not interested in the courtyard villa, the mountain terraces in the loquat garden are also a good place to go on Nanshan. The whole store occupies the entire hilltop, built along the slope, from the bottom to the top of the six-story terraced distribution, can accommodate more than 600 tables at the same time, the exterior looks quite impressive. At night, the golden night lights and red lanterns reflect each other, and there is an endless stream of diners taking photos and checking in. The store has a chess and card area, a tea area and a children's play area, where diners can enjoy leisure time in the afternoon, and after eating hot pot, continue to Nanshan One Tree Observatory not far away to enjoy the night view of Chongqing.
The bottom of the loquat garden is all hand-fried by the stir-fry chef, and the seasoning ratio of each pot bottom is accurate, so even if it is fried by hand, there is no difference in taste between different pot bases. Each pot is fully fermented for 3-4 days before being served, so the body and durability of the base are excellent, and the taste will not fade after adding soup.
Loquat Garden has the widest range of beef dishes and offal, especially for those who love these two meals. In addition to the common hairy tripe, bezoar throat, mille-feuille tripe and beef liver, Loquat Garden also serves spicy and tender tenderloin beef, soft and elastic beef tendons and beef arch mouth, fresh bullwhip with a firm taste and beef ears with a crisp texture. In terms of offal, horse lung, chicken kidney, fish maw, anchovy waist flower and fresh wool belly are relatively rare in hot pot restaurants outside Chongqing, which are suitable for foreign customers to try first. A variety of beef and offal ingredients are carefully processed, and most of them are marinated and tasted, so there will be no peculiar smell when eating, and diners can order with confidence. However, the variety of the rest of the meat dishes is not rich, and it is slightly inferior to Xianlongjing and Ba Bao hot pot.
In addition to the Nanshan main store, Loquat Garden also has a branch in Jiangnan Amusement Park. The environment of the branch is basically modeled after the main store, and it is also a terraced design, and the amusement park Ferris wheel next to the hot pot restaurant also adds a lot of color to the storefront. There is not much difference between the environment, taste, and service of the branch and the main store, and the transportation is more convenient, but the scene is not as shocking as the main store, and diners can choose according to their needs. Most of the staff in the store are friendly, but the manpower is limited, and the response will drop significantly during peak hours. Every year around May is the loquat ripening season in the loquat garden, and diners can also experience the fun of picking loquat while tasting hot pot.
