Chongqing Kitchen is located on the first floor of Chongqing Regent Hotel in Jiangbeizui. Compared to many high-rise buffet restaurants in the city center, Chongqing Kitchen's view is not outstanding, but relying on its stable production and meticulous service, it has gradually stood out from the local hotel buffet and become one of the most acclaimed restaurants.
The strength of Chongqing Kitchen is not the variety of dishes, but the freshness of ingredients and the variety of cooking techniques. Seafood, for example, includes brown crab and jade snails, mussels, scallops, and kiwei shrimp, while sashimi includes common styles such as salmon and sea bream. The turnover rate is high and the replenishment speed is fast, so that each seafood will not be placed for too long and still remain delicious. Nowhere is this more evident than in shrimp and shellfish, where the seafood is plump, juicy and rarely smelly. If you can't get used to chilling it, you can ask the waiter to cook the seafood with water and dip it in soy sauce and mustard. During this period, guests do not need to wait in front of the chilled stall, just tell the waiter the table number, and it will be automatically served when the cooking is completed. In addition, the restaurant will give each person a sashimi platter and grilled lobster, which will also be served by the staff, so there is no need to wait, which is very intimate.
Grilled food has always been the weak point of the hotel cafeteria, which is easy to get too old under unified production, and the meat loses its flavor if it is left for too long. In contrast, the steak and lamb chops in Chongqing Kitchen perform well, although they are still not as good as the Sky Fin that is made on demand, but the heat is better mastered, it is not old, and the inner layer can even be half-cooked, which is worth a try. Next to the frying stall, there are local characteristics of steamed vegetables, small noodles and steamed vegetables, and a list of ingredients and seasonings are placed in front of people, which is quite large-scale.
Drinks and desserts are one of the great strengths of Chongqing Kitchen, which is quite different from other buffet restaurants. All kinds of freshly squeezed juices are stored in special freezers, orange juice, watermelon juice, apple juice, pear juice ...... Everything is available, the taste is naturally far better than canned drinks, and guests who need room temperature can also request on-site juicing. On the wooden dessert table next to it, French desserts such as tiramisu, napoleon, semi-cooked cheese and opera are placed in small and delicate sizes, and they are updated quickly, and most of the cuts can be kept fresh. The most recommended dishes are the strawberry fruit tart and semi-cooked cheese, which are smooth and delicate in the mouth, and the milky aroma is pure. Homemade shaved ice is also available at the store, which is also made to order, and customers can add peanuts, chocolate beans, jam and other toppings to their liking.
The entrance to the restaurant is a Chinese-style screen, while the floor and wall decorations are clad in marble, and the dark fabric chairs are softly lit. The service of Chongqing kitchen is remarkable, the waiter tracks the whole process of using, pouring water, and delivering food, and the replacement of dishes is also very conscious, and the conversation with the guests is gentle and well-trained. The original price of the Chongqing kitchen dinner is 383 yuan/person, and it is 298 yuan/person after purchasing a group purchase coupon.
