Xin Rong Ji (West Nanjing Road)

The seafood stall by the entrance lets diners make their own choices from the items shipped directly from Taizhou that day. Seasonality is key and that determines exactly which ingredients will be used in certain dishes. Customers can also specify how they want their seafood cooked. The restaurant communicates with every customer before their visit; consider pre-ordering signatures such as braised yellow croaker or golden deep-fried hairtail.

Luxurious Atmosphere

• The restaurant features a grand entrance resembling a European castle, complete with a pure copper door handle carved with the character "Rong" (Glory), creating an opulent first impression.

Personalized Dining Experience

• Guests celebrating birthdays can book special decorations in advance, receiving a personalized bone china bowl and longevity noodles, which include a hidden small abalone in the soup base made with 10-year aged Huadiao wine.

Exclusive Dish Availability

• The Black Truffle Foie Gras Bun is so popular that only 30 are made daily, often selling out by 5 PM, making it a coveted item that diners must try.

Signature Ingredients

• Black Truffle Foie Gras: This luxurious ingredient is featured in the renowned Black Truffle Foie Gras Bun, which has a flaky butterfly pastry crust filled with a rich foie gras mousse mixed with black truffle sauce. Only 30 of these buns are made daily, making them a rare delicacy that often sells out quickly.
• Crispy Young Pigeon: Sourced from Zhongshan, these pigeons are only 13-15 days old, ensuring a tender and juicy meat with a crispy skin that resembles glass. The dish is served with a side of Puning bean sauce, enhancing its umami flavor.
• Sand Garlic: A unique ingredient used in the Sand Garlic Braised Bean Noodles, this sea anemone is stewed until soft, allowing the bean noodles to absorb its rich seafood broth, creating a dish that is fresher than traditional Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
• Wild-Caught Pomfret: This fish is sourced from the East China Sea and is served with handmade grilled rice cakes. The combination of the soft, chewy rice cake and the fresh pomfret, dipped in fish broth, showcases the restaurant's dedication to high-quality, fresh ingredients.
• Osmanthus Bird’s Nest Tangyuan: A dessert that surprises with its filling of bird’s nest, these glutinous rice balls are served in a sweet osmanthus syrup, providing a unique and luxurious end to the meal.
