Zhang Sheng Ji Jiudian
It may lack the ambience of Kong Yiji Jiulou, but this branch of Hangzhou's most successful restaurant delivers more consistent Huaiyang fare. Service is no-fuss, there's a pleasing amount of space between tables with a high ceiling and plenty of light. For starters, try the flavorsomejiuxiang yugan(dried fish in wine sauce). The recently addedmati niuliu(stir-fried beef with broccoli, water chestnuts, and tofu rolls) is excellent, and nearly every table carries the signaturesungan laoya bao(stewed duck with dried bamboo shoots and ham) which has complex, hearty flavors. Explore the English picture menu without trepidation; Huaiyang cuisine is delicately spiced, and largely eschews endangered species
