Li’ An Chinese Restaurant at Conrad Hangzhou has Clinched the Prestigious One Diamond Accolade
This is the fourth year that the restaurant, helmed
by Executive Chef Owen Xue, has been recognised with this distinction.
Situated on the hotel’s 50th floor, Li' An
distinguishes itself as an innovative restaurant that specialises in modern
Hangzhou cuisine. Renowned as one of the capital’s premier panoramic dining
venues, the restaurant’s design, inspired by the concept of ‘Madam’s Living
Room’, reflects a steadfast commitment to delivering a refined and inspiring
dining experience. In Hangzhou’s diverse dining scene, Li' An remains a highly
regarded destination and loyal favourite amongst discerning guests.
With over a decade of experience working in
prestigious restaurants across Shanghai, Beijing, Jiangsu and Shenzhen, Chef
Owen Xue has assimilated diverse cooking techniques and gained insights into
indigenous ingredients from various cities. His bold culinary approach blends
the distinctive characteristics and flavours of dishes from the northern and
southern parts of the Yangtze River. Guided by culinary philosophy, he
meticulously selects high quality ingredients and employs unique cooking
techniques to create dishes that are refined yet not overly complex.
A signature favourite is the Li’ An Mapo Tofu
and Lobster, featuring shrimp broth that has been simmered for five to six
hours, fresh river shrimp, wagyu beef cubes and shredded scallops for a twist
on the traditional dish.
As the seasons transition, Li' An’s culinary
journey seamlessly evolves in harmony with the changing periods. Chef Xue
crafts an exquisite dining experience by carefully curating seasonal
ingredients at their peak. Guests are invited to immerse in the artistry of
seasonal dining at Li' An, where the finesse of each dish unfolds almost as an
art form.
One such masterpiece is the Live Sea Cucumber
| Kelp Soup. Sourced from Northeast China, the live sea cucumber is slow cooked
with aged hens and kombu for over 10 hours, resulting in a crystal-clear broth,
enriched with delicate flavours of the sea.
Indulge in the Marinated Century Egg |
Hangzhou Pepper, where the key ingredient is sourced from Shun Hing Hoo in
Hong Kong. A composition of finely crushed tofu, soy milk, and Italian balsamic
vinegar, the preserved egg, stripped of its top, is paired with traditional
pickled vegetables and dried eel. The addition of Hangzhou's signature chili
sauce introduces a nuanced fusion of flavours and textures, marrying the
richness of the preserved egg with a hint of spiciness.
Li' An Chinese Restaurant serves a diverse range of
dishes, all while steadfastly crafting a refined dining experience for its
distinguished guests. The seamless collaboration between the floor and kitchen
teams, coupled with precise coordination at every pivotal service juncture,
ensures the optimal presentation of each dish. Guest preferences are subtly and
astutely observed, resulting in flawless, elevated service tailored to each
individual and group.
