Reluctant to share! A hidden culinary gem in a Huizhou merchant mansion

"For lifelong longings, one dreams not of Huizhou." Huizhou cuisine, with its fresh ingredients, emphasis on color, oil, and cooking techniques, delivers rich and profound flavors that embody deep, rustic nostalgia—truly unforgettable at first taste. The top-tier Huizhou cuisine in Shanghai is undoubtedly from the Pin Cui Group. Even Xin Rong Ji's new Huizhou-style restaurant collaborates with them, a testament to their first-class quality. Stepping into Pin Cui Ecological Restaurant, spanning an impressive 5,000 square meters, feels like entering an opulent Huizhou merchant mansion. VIP private rooms showcase local charm with designs inspired by Huizhou architecture—eaves, courtyards, and grand halls—symbolizing wealth flowing in from all directions, with auspicious touches everywhere! Traditional calligraphy, paintings, furniture, screens, and decor are all in place, as if walking into a Huizhou museum. The restaurant also boasts top Huizhou chefs, offering an extensive menu of authentic Huizhou dishes. From rustic, original flavors to perfectly fresh wild mountain delicacies, innovative presentations elevate traditional Huizhou cuisine, launching a legendary culinary journey for your taste buds~ Liu Mingchuan Braised Pork A must-try—it's incredibly fragrant! Liu Mingchuan, a native of Hefei, served as the first governor of Taiwan Province. To commemorate him, locals created this dish: marinated and air-dried pork belly, roasted until crystal-clear, fatty yet not greasy, bursting with savory-sweet aromas. Daoban Xiang (Salted Pork Steamed with Bamboo) This restaurant even features a live performance for Daoban Xiang! The chef retrieves steaming salted pork from the steamer, slices it, and serves it with steamed buns. The pork comes from Dabie Mountain black pigs, with a unique texture—balanced fat and lean, rich and flavorful, absolutely divine! Huizhou Stinky Mandarin Fish A famed Huizhou delicacy with over 400 years of history, this dish arrives at the table gleaming with red oil, looking spectacular. Eat it hot: the garlic-clove-like flesh offers a hint of pungency followed by intense aroma and umami, igniting the soul of your taste buds~ Two-Way Huangshan Stone Frog Mountain delicacies are a hallmark of Anhui cuisine, especially the renowned Huangshan stone frog. Lightly stir-fried, it’s fragrant and rich; spicy-fried, it’s appetizing and bold. Both styles shine in their own way, and it’s also nourishing and beautifying in summer. Desserts Huizhou’s mountainous regions abound with kudzu root, cool and sweet. The kudzu powder cake is like crystal jelly, soft and subtly sweet. Another dessert, mung bean, barley, and dendrobium flower soup, is perfect for cooling down—dendrobium flowers boost vitality. Who wouldn’t want a bowl, right? Blending Huizhou’s misty landscapes and cultural history into culinary delights, this restaurant offers an endless exploration of classic Huizhou flavors. The stunning setting is also perfect for photos, making it the top choice for high-end business gatherings and family banquets~
