This restaurant started out as a noodle shop some 20 years ago. What hasn't changed is the authentic and affordable home-style Hangzhou food it serves. Browse the photos on the wall or pick something from the live fish tanks. The oil-blanched live river shrimps are fried until crispy and tossed in a sweet savoury sauce with vinegar and scallions. The steamed pork-filled tofu skin roll with dried fish is another timeless umami-laden classic.
