December brought a delightful adventure with friends. We indulged in gourmet food and embarked on an independent travel experience, embracing the petty bourgeoisie lifestyle. Our culinary journey led us to Dongjiadu, where we discovered the enchanting Yan Jiangnan TALK restaurant. This gem was published on 2021-12-05 at 10:44, and I must say, the unique charm of the river view and the refined ambiance captivated us.
Sitting in Yan Jiangnan TALK, we savored delicious dishes while the picturesque scenery unfolded outside our window, embodying my ideal life. The restaurant is located at Room L302, No. 1, 800 Lane, Zhongshan South Road, and is easily accessible by public transport. From Exit 2 of Xiaonanmen Station on Metro Line 9, it’s an 890-meter walk, or a 290-meter stroll from Zhongshan South Road, Dongjiadu Road Station of Bus Route 576.
Yan Jiangnan’s location on Zhongshan South Road boasts a 180-degree terrace and a sky bridge that leads directly to the riverside, ensuring that every seat offers a sense of ceremony and the desired romance. The interior design is a sleek, modern, and atmospheric minimalist style, with a predominant marble gray color palette, accented by peacock blue furniture. The meticulously designed pendant glass chandeliers provide soft lighting, and gold details add a touch of elegance to every corner. This setting is perfect for proposals, anniversaries, birthdays, family gatherings, business banquets, and more.
The service at Yan Jiangnan TALK is impeccable, with diligent plate changes and tea refills. Waiters introduce dish names upon serving, and their standing distance after service is just right, ensuring diners’ comfort in both dining and conversation. It was an experience that left us with lasting memories and a taste for more such sophisticated adventures.Gourmet Food: The “Best Companion” for Lonely Mouths
### Stewed Old Duck Paws (Per Person)
As soon as this dish was served, we couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!” The duck paws are incredibly thick and beautiful. The tendons and meat are full, offering a chewy and elastic texture with a tender finish. It’s very convenient to eat after the bones are removed. Each bite is packed with collagen, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
### Black Truffle Cauliflower Stalks
The pairing of black truffles with cauliflower stalks elevates the dish to new heights. A bite releases a burst of aroma and crispness, with an aftertaste that lingers endlessly. This is the power of truffles, making the dining experience a bit luxurious.
### 20-Year Huadiao Drunken Crabs
The world’s flavors dance on the palate and intertwine at the dining table. If you haven’t tasted drunken crabs, you’re missing out on their exquisiteness. Cooked and marinated with yellow wine and ginger slices, they neutralize the crabs’ coldness, preserving their original nutrients and allowing all the flavors to penetrate. The result is a rich, winey aroma with a hint of sweetness. The meat is tender and delicious, and when presented on a plate, it comes to life.
### Pepper Soup, Boiled Oysters (Per Person)
After indulging in cold crabs, it’s essential to warm up with something hot. We ordered the pepper soup with boiled oysters. Slow-cooked with crucian carp soup and sprinkled with pepper, the oysters retain their freshness. The taste is soft and glutinous, and the warm, jade-like presentation is quite enticing.
### Black Swan Pastry
The dessert is a visual delight, beginning with its appearance and captivating with its taste. The Black Swan Pastry is a dessert that enchants from the moment it’s presented to the last satisfying bite.After eating, the faint durian flavor lingers, making it unforgettable for those who have tasted it.
