Live Pingtan and Kunqu performances are a nod to Suzhou culture, but the theatrics continue offstage: The fried sheefish with shrimp roe served in a metre-long plate is quite a spectacle. The flesh is tender and finely textured, in stark contrast with the thin, crispy scales. Fox nut sweet porridge or square cakes with red date filling make for a perfect sweet finale.
