Quick, everyone, take a look—is this AI or just too much filter?

✅ Last week, I visited Tonglu and was dragged by a local friend to eat at this restaurant for three straight days! It's not a viral hotspot, but every dish is bursting with wok hei (breath of the wok), leaving us completely satisfied. 🐟 Signature Stone Pot Fish Served sizzling hot, the fish is incredibly tender and smooth. Pro tip: Sip the broth first before diving into the fish—it's packed with umami. Perfect for chilly weather! 🦆 Beer-Braised Duck The duck is stewed until fall-apart tender, infused with the rich aroma of beer. The side veggies steal the show, especially the potato chunks soaked in the savory sauce. 🍪 Crispy Baby Shrimp Cakes Handmade, crispy on the outside and tender inside—best enjoyed hot. Not greasy at all; I devoured three in a row. So satisfying! 💕 This hidden gem delivers authentic flavors and generous portions—no wonder my friend says it's been their go-to since childhood. If you're in Tonglu, give it a try! Just avoid peak dining hours, or you might have to wait. 🏠 Mengli Taoyuan · Tonglu Countryside Restaurant 📍 Dongqian, Taoyuan Village, Yaolin Town, Tonglu (next to Yaotao Hotel, offers charging stations and ample free parking, about 4km from OMG Heartbeat Park)
