THE HOUSE OF RONG

Xitan, Rongfuyan. New Rongji high-end brand, you have to experience it. Because it is built into the hotel and the location is remote, it only provides set meals, and you can choose the higher of the two tiers. Amber scallops, pan-fried prawns, home-roasted yellow croaker, golden garlic bird scallops, crab stick steamed dumplings, crab meat fried rice, salt-baked hairy crabs, fish maw soup, golden soup oysters, etc., white truffles are a smorgasbord. I especially like pine nut shaqima, and the store specially sent a plate, just right for tea. In fact, Rongfuyan and RB share ingredients, and it is quite interesting to see the chefs combine the East and the West. When dining at Xitan, don't talk about cost-effectiveness. It's convenient to eat and drink in the mountains, not to mention the elegant environment and attentive service. The host and the guest should support each other. Meeting is fate.

The environment of Rongfu Banquet is very good. There is a landscape of winding water flowing in the restaurant, which is very colorful. The appetizers are amber drunk crab and golden crispy hairtail. The raw and marinated drunk crab is very delicious, and the hairtail is fried until crispy, and the color makes people very appetizing.

The environment is quiet and comfortable, the dishes taste first-rate, and the portions are much larger than expected. I really recommend giving it a try!
