Hot on Dianping: Meinanhe Thai Restaurant and Bar, The Sweet Dynasty, Hongfanqie Chuzhenfang
A new, semi-regular blog series where we introduce the restaurants that are whipping up hype on China’s favorite review website: Dianping.
The Sweet Dynasty
Dianping rank (as of Aug 22): 17
Average rating: 4/5 stars (1614 reviews)
A Hong Kong style dinner serving up Cantonese favorites and southern sweets. Users rave about the steamed matcha custard buns.
Users say: “Definitely a Hong Kong-style restaurant with it's own charm. Instead of claypot rice or fried noodles, their specialty is steamed dishes. The best thing was the steamed matcha buns, the sweet outside contrasting well with the slightly savory egg yolk filling. The only downside is it's a little expensive, but that's because it's in the Gongti area.” (你好猫猫爱上蓝蓝胖子)
