I have heard before that "Donghai 88 specializes in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction". As expected, the old-style fruit wood roast duck makes me very lucky. It is not an exaggeration to call the best in the island city!
⚠️Roast duck must be reserved by phone in advance. The operator will inform you of the approximate time when your duck will be out of the oven. Vientiane City or Golden Lion members can waive the 10% service fee, but there is still a 5% tax.
Environment
The restaurant is located on the first floor of the Hyatt Regency Lushang Hotel, with an open door, antique decoration style, open transparent kitchen... Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the hanging roast ducks in the blazing hanging furnace in the middle of the hall.
The restaurant has only one floor, divided into square tables, round tables, booths, staggered, and a dessert table in the middle.
The private room has no door, soft lighting, and a large space.
I like the design of the restaurant entrance, wine jars, stone mills, carts... It reflects the texture and creates an atmosphere, old-fashioned comfort.
Dishes
[Old-style fruit wood roast duck] Each duck weighs more than 2 jin after being roasted. The duck slicing chef will quickly wipe the floating oil on the surface of the duck after it comes out of the oven, put the whole duck on a plate, and bring it to the diners' table together with the plate and dish. The duck is sliced on the spot, with the skin on one plate, the meat on another plate, and the skin and meat on another plate.
The duck skin is crispy and oil-free, and melts in the mouth, as if it is top-grade fat residue. The consideration is that there must be no delay from the time it comes out of the oven to the time it is sliced.
[Squirrel sea bass] Another signature dish in the store, beautifully presented, overflowing with balsamic vinegar, the fish bones and fish bones have been removed, suitable for all ages.
But I personally feel that the meat is not elastic enough, and the sour taste is slightly heavy, and the sweet taste is a bit thin in comparison, and it will be greasy if you eat too much.
[Sesame spinach] A cold dish that I personally like very much. The neatly arranged spinach is covered with fragrant sesame paste and embellished with sesame seeds. The color is beautiful and the taste is extremely fragrant.
[Strawberry Yam] Compared with the blueberry yam, this strawberry yam is lighter in taste and can make people taste the smoothness of the yam in the mouth. The yam puree is processed very delicately, and it shines softly under the light.
[Jingdong Beef Pie] It is considered the leader of the store's food. What's more rare is that the beef is cut instead of minced. Although it takes time to process, it retains the nutrition of the original gravy to a greater extent.
[Wine Rice Dumplings] A soup dessert with a slight wine lees flavor. The dumplings have no fillings and no highlights.
The service speed is fast, the environment is good, the price is quite high, and the quality of the dishes is acceptable.
