The Spring Festival is the most traditional festival among the Chinese people, symbolizing that no matter how far apart family members are, how busy their work is, or how difficult it is to buy plane or train tickets, everyone must return home on this day to gather around the dining table, share family affection, and enjoy the reunion dinner. It is not only about tasting the family bond but also about the younger generation expressing their gratitude to their parents for their upbringing. With the rapid development of society, this ancient tradition is facing severe challenges. Many young people, pressured by life, do not like to cook a large table of dishes. This year, my family decided to break with old customs and have our New Year’s Eve dinner at a restaurant. We chose Lu cuisine, a type of Chinese cuisine, which allows the younger generation to express their gratitude for their parents’ hard work and also frees us from the tedious kitchen labor. Lu cuisine is chosen because it is deeply influenced by Confucian ‘moderation’ philosophy, characterized by its gentle and health-preserving dishes.

[Service] It is my first time visiting a restaurant mainly staffed by male waiters, wearing duckbill caps, white shirts, plaid ties, and black vests, exuding an air of handsomeness. The entire restaurant consists of private rooms, with a minimum consumption requirement for each room, but a 10% service charge is applied. During the meal, the waiters are diligent in changing plates and pouring water. If you order roast duck, professional chefs will perform the duck slicing live, and they will also debone it for you. [Ambience] Upon entering Nostalgic Memories of the South City, you are immediately transported into the rich historical atmosphere conveyed by old objects, immersing you in the delicious stories of the old Jinan people. However, once inside the private room, you are brought back to reality by the scenery of the Pujiang River on both sides of the window. [Cuisine] #Premium Roast Duck# Professional chefs slice the duck live, offering five different ways to enjoy it: First, the crispy duck skin and subcutaneous fat are served with caviar, melting in your mouth. Second, lean duck meat is served with sauce in a pancake, alleviating the greasiness of the first serving. It is accompanied by sweet sauce, cucumber strips, Beijing onions, and cantaloupe strips, rolled to a suitable size. Third, the skin and meat are interspersed, rich but not greasy.
Fourth dish: Nourishing duck soup for beauty and skin care. The soup cooked with duck meat, white radish and wolfberries is extremely delicious and recommended. Fifth dish: Spicy salt duck rack with crispy bones and tender meat. The duck rack is fried until crispy. There is still a lot of meat on the bones. The green beside it is fried mint. #Craftsman’s Cucumber in Gourd-Shaped Coat# Regardless of the taste, just looking at the摆盘 like a coiled green snake, it is unique. With 600 continuous cuts, one can deeply feel the superb knife skills of the chef. The waiter shows it on the spot and cuts it into small pieces. The taste is fresh with a hint of sweetness and sourness. #Toona Sprout with Tofu Sheets# It is a cold dish with unique flavor, beautiful摆盘, exquisite knife skills, refreshing fragrance and rich aroma. #Beauty Collagen Jelly# A popular dish that is economical and contains many nutrients. The appearance is crystal clear. When entering the mouth, there is a cool and elastic jelly. Before you know it, it slips down the throat. #Ma Jiagou Celery and Sakura Shrimp# The celery after being mixed is not only refreshing, but also relieves greasiness and whets the appetite. At the same time, it damages the nutrients contained in vegetables to the minimum extent. #Ten Delicacies of Shandong# A traditional famous dish in Jinan. Pancakes are made from corn and served with crispy fritters and eight kinds of Shandong characteristic ingredients. The taste is fresh and slightly crispy, making people never tire of eating it. #Three Non-Stick# The golden osmanthus egg with golden color and overflowing fragrance does not stick to the plate, chopsticks or teeth. The taste is slightly sweet. What a magical cooking method. Highly recommended. #Sweet and Sour Carp# The golden-scaled and red-tailed carp produced downstream of Jinan is selected. This kind of fish is plump and without muddy smell. The fish body is shaped by frying and then the fish tail is fried to make a jumping shape. The fried fish is golden and crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. After being integrated with vinegar sauce, it can create a good omen and wonderful spark. #Seafood Vermicelli Casserole# When vermicelli and seafood fall in love with each other, it absorbs the deliciousness of seafood. It is soft, smooth and tender yet particularly chewy. It is so delicious that it is captivating. One bite after another makes people unable to stop.
