In 1910, the Shanghai General Association of No. 2 on the Bund was opened, and Sir Pelham personally opened the door, and in this twist, the Shanghai General Association opened a new chapter in history, and in the following decades, the gentlemen and celebrities dressed up were endless. Now, the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund has set off again with more than 100 years of history, and the former glory has never passed away, and the brilliant past of singing and dancing over the past of 100 years has reappeared here.
Recently, I heard that the classic "gorgeous brunch" of Waldorf Astoria on the Bund has returned, and Madara specially invited a friend to go with him, and began a lazy Sunday with a brunch at Waldorf Astoria on the Bund...
When I walked into the hotel, I couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, I will be shocked by the beauty of Waldorf Astoria many times." "Neoclassicism and Art Deco have been reborn in this three-century-old building, where luxurious modern architecture meets classical elegance, where time meets and overlaps, creating a Waldorf-like aesthetic.
Compared with the "old building" with a classical charm, the new building of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel is more modern and relaxed, looking for music, the spacious sunken restaurant Barilla Garden has switched from breakfast to Brunch mode, huge transparent floor-to-ceiling windows fall generously to occupy a curved wall, the glass wall outside the sunken open-air courtyard, is a small waterfall, the sound of babbling water and the good weather of the weekend, the hustle and bustle of the city is completely blocked, even the impetuous heart can slow down here.
Live jazz bands, imposing marble columns, luxurious velvet cushions, wooden dining tables... Every detail feels modern Manhattan. Well~ sleeping until you wake up naturally and enjoying such a lazy Brunch is the greatest respect for Sunday.
The appetizer is a welcome ceremony for the taste buds, with buttered brio bread and six types of salads including shrimp, beef and chicken, and Spanish 5J ham as thin as cicada wings.
During the dinner, the chef will personally push the food cart to the table to freshly cut bread, according to your taste with different French butter and cheese, freshly cut on the table, to fill the morning ritual.
One of the hottest areas in Barilla Garden is seafood.
Rossini, the Flower of Maio, the Princess, the Flower in the Water... Freshly opened, you can eat a variety of different kinds of oysters at one time, fat and rich, and the moment you enter the mouth, it is like swimming in the blue sea. During the dinner, the chef will come to the table and add a spoonful of caviar to upgrade the umami.
The crayfish living in the deep waters of New Zealand are not idle, and they are caught in limited quantities every year, sweet and soft and extremely elastic at the same time.
The color and texture of the salmon can be called a work of art, and it is even more fresh to say, and the jumping nature creates a soft and tender taste of Q bomb, a bite of thick-cut salmon, and the high-grade flavor of the ocean is packed into the stomach~
It is the season of hairy crabs, the chef selects high-quality ingredients, full of crab paste and crab roe, so that the delicious taste that is not tired is only three months a year "seasonal special", can't help but be greedy!
In addition, there are seasonal seafood such as whole freshly opened Boston lobster, bluefin tuna belly, and fresh king crab legs, and the umami of the season is by no means comparable to frozen seafood, without too much spices, and the umami of the ingredients themselves is worth savoring repeatedly.
High-quality foie gras, only the charming aroma of oil can activate the taste buds, the chef in the semi-open kitchen to cook the fragrant foie gras on the spot, just the right heat will burst out the aroma layer by layer, attracting passing diners to move, the shiny foie gras must be eaten hot to experience the silky feeling that melts in the mouth.
As a classic of French food, in addition to pan-fried foie gras, it is naturally indispensable to eat cold, Waldorf's foie gras puffs are interesting and material, French puffs and foie gras mousse collide on the tip of the tongue to produce a crispy and dense duo, capturing the taste buds in one bite~
Lobster eggs Benedict is a must-see delicacy when visiting Waldorf, 50 years ago Eggs Benedict was born in Waldorf Astoria New York and swept the world by storm. The round water wave egg can be broken, gently cut, the golden egg liquid immediately flows out, seven or eight cooked lobster meat covered with egg liquid and hollandaise sauce, in addition to the familiar classic flavor, there is just the right sweetness of lobster.
The gourmet feast is naturally indispensable to meat, domineering freshly roasted tomahawk steak, no one can resist the temptation, the beef is roasted to the outside and tender, even the juice is firmly locked in the meat, a bite down the rich and mellow beef aroma instantly fills the entire mouth.
Lamb chops, T-bone steaks, bone-in ham, etc., grilled live in the outdoor garden, can be felt across the screen, and the chef slowly pushes the food cart to cut the freshly baked meat on the table, this meat carnival brings the Sunday brunch movement to a climax.
Paired with champagne to reduce the aftertaste of grease, enjoy a 3-hour brunch slowly in the sun, which is the right way to open a lazy Sunday~
Explorers first encountered lavender in the Canary Islands of the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Verde, and since then this lilac has bloomed all over the world, and the dessert flower house of the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund in late autumn is also rendered lavender as a lilac spring.
The flower house is filled with macarons, yogurt mousse, crème brûlée and other desserts, and the chef will make a raspberry-flavored liquid nitrogen ice cream on the table. After a full meal, this lazy Brunch is a sweet end, after all, girls always have a stomach reserved for dessert.
Brunch, not just the name of a meal, is a pleasant slow lifestyle. Love life, you can also start with a Brunch, pick a good weather to enjoy the Waldorf Astoria classic "gorgeous brunch", play a lazy Sunday awakening movement, and give the taste buds a different sense of ritual~
