The traditional Jiangnan-style mansion tucked deep in a bamboo forest houses five private, elegantly appointed dining rooms and several tea rooms. The food is basically Jinhua style and includes delicacies from Dongyang and Lanxi cities. The signature flash-fried gardenia buds with cured pork and dried chillies reveals a striking mix of fragrance, piquancy and savoury umami. Bouncy ‘wo mian’ noodles are generously laden in toppings.
