Xinrongji: Tuck into the best of Taizhou cuisine in Wan Chai
- Roast duck is a signature here while the wild-caught yellow croaker is legendary; other top dishes to try are the braised tofu with preserved pork and black fungus, and radish chips
Sichuan, Chiu Chow or Shanghainese usually come to mind when one thinks of regional Chinese fare, but Xinrongji has put Taizhou cuisine on the map. The restaurant chain has locations in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
The Beijing location received the coveted three Michelin stars in the Michelin Guide Beijing 2021. Fish is prominently featured in Taizhou cuisine and the wild-caught yellow croaker is legendary (and will set you back a pretty penny).
Roast duck is also a signature dish here – the crisp-as-wafer breast is sliced separately for individual enjoyment before the rest of the bird is cut up and devoured with pancakes.
