I woke up in the morning and couldn't wait to run to the West Lake. When it was time to book, I hurried into the restaurant.
Jinsha Hall of Four Seasons Hotel West Lake, the top restaurant in Hangzhou.
Located in the southeast of Four Seasons Hotel, don't go to the hotel lobby. The security guard at the door is very responsible, confirming the guests and leading the way.
After waiting for five minutes in the hall, I was led to a small table. It's a little small. I sat down and my eyes were fixed. The restaurant is not big and a little crowded. There are four tables outside. The restaurant is located between the gardens, next to the West Lake, and the environment is elegant. The main color is dark mahogany, simple and rustic.
Order Longjing Jasmine first. The waiter added tea frequently and gave appetizers, which was worth the 15[%] service charge.
First served Song Sao Fish Soup, the little greedy cat ate it all. . . . Just tasted it. The cod is boiled, fresh, and the soup is thick, but it doesn't make people thirsty.
Longjing shrimp, hand-peeled, without any shrimp thread. The taste is very light, I want to eat it with vinegar. The shrimps were very chewy and elastic, but the taste was not outstanding.
Braised pork with abalone. I ate it all up in a few bites. It was fat but not greasy, and the combination with abalone was novel, delicious and nutritious.
West Lake vinegar fish, the waiter said it was made with bamboo shoots, the meat was tender and delicious. The vinegar sauce was thick and appetizing. The two of us ate most of it but still felt full.
Stone pot rice with bacon, salty... I felt salty when I saw the bacon, and it was so salty when I put it in my mouth. The aroma that the toon buds should have was completely covered by a handful of salt, which was not perfect.
Dessert was stewed pear with kudzu rice. The pears were hollowed out and peeled, leaving only the stems for easy pinching.
An almost perfect dining experience, but the price-performance ratio was not high, and the best ingredients may not be new in every dish.
