Huangpu Feast

Huangpu Feast

　　The Huangpu Feast

　　In 2003, the Huangpu District Tourism Bureau sought to integrate the area’s culinary and tourism resources. They commissioned “China’s Famous Restaurant”—Huangpu Huayuan Restaurant in Huangpu District—to design a feast rich in local cultural flavor. The Huangpu Feast selects premium ingredients from the region’s mountainous areas and water towns, gathering renowned local specialties. It features diverse cooking techniques, flavors that inherit the freshness, tenderness, and smoothness of Cantonese cuisine while adding richer aromas. The presentation emphasizes beauty and modern style. What makes it even more culturally unique is the focus on sharing Huangpu’s historical stories and food anecdotes during the meal, providing guests with both a gastronomic and cultural experience. Since its debut, the Huangpu Feast has drawn media attention and customer acclaim, becoming a new highlight in Huangpu’s culinary tourism.

　　Changzhou Golden Melon Stuffed with River Turtle

　　Changzhou boasts flat, fertile land known for abundant pumpkins, and its crisscrossing waterways are often home to wild soft-shell turtles. This dish combines the two for a realistic presentation—a wholesome farmhouse delicacy with appealing color, aroma, and taste.

　　Hengsha Golden List Young Pigeon

　　Legend has it that in Hengsha Village, there was a poor scholar surnamed Zhang who relied on his wife’s pigeon-rearing to make ends meet. Due to lack of travel funds, he postponed his imperial exams several times. After much hardship, he finally scraped together the money to go. Before his departure, his wife lovingly prepared a delicious braised pigeon as a farewell meal. True to the story, he later passed the exams with flying colors and returned home in glory. Hence the tale of the “Scholar’s Golden List Pigeon.”

　　Six Small Dishes

　　The Six Small Dishes evoke a sense of home: the fragrant and tender stir-fried rice field worms, the aromatic stir-fried snails, the rich and savory harmonized dragon; plus the green, garlicky smashed cucumbers, the orange and tangy lotus root slices, and the deep red salty radish strips. A colorful medley of six balanced flavors.
