Innovative cuisine
"Lion's head" is filled with soup, which can be sucked with a straw

Xue Quansheng said that through the apprentices' innovation of dishes, the new Huaiyang dishes with full color and fragrance meet the consumer group's quality needs for a better life. At the same time, the refined cooking of ordinary ingredients also conveys the exquisite and green Huaiyang cuisine cooking concept.
