The story
Nanlu house in Tianzhong serves refined Jiangnan cuisine through its dedicated kitchen team. Chefs trained across Hangzhou and surrounding provinces like Shaoxing and Jinhua focus on time-tested techniques adapted for contemporary service standards. This commitment to regional authenticity earned the venue a Black Pearl one diamond award during its opening season. The recognition highlights how the kitchen balances historical recipes with careful ingredient sourcing.
The menu centers on precise preparations that highlight local produce. Chun’an style grilled softshell turtle arrives wrapped alongside freshly baked pancakes. Spicy sauce coats Qiandao Lake fish face pieces served over fine vermicelli noodles. Other offerings include fermented tofu paired with prawn toast and hand-pinched taro vegetables gathered during peak harvest windows. Every plate reflects a deliberate effort to preserve established flavor profiles.
Located on the third level of IFC Mall, the venue maintains a focused layout designed for steady service flow. Tables are arranged to allow clear sightlines toward the open kitchen where cooks manage wok stations and steaming baskets. Staff guide guests through rotating seasonal menus that shift according to market availability. The environment stays calm and orderly while highlighting the quiet precision required for proper Jiangnan cuisine.
