Master Chef Zhou Xiaoyan: The Voice of Huaiyang Cuisine Heritage
Autumn in China has long been a season of flavor and reflection, a time to savor, gather, and enjoy the richness of the harvest. As the Inheritor of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage in Huaiyang Cuisine and Culinary Consultant of Heavenly Jin, Chef Zhou Xiaoyan transforms this timeless culinary tradition into a modern expression of artistry and taste.

With nearly five decades of mastery, Chef Zhou brings the precision and poetry of Huaiyang cuisine to life, crafting each dish as both a feast and a story of the season. This "Hairy Crab Set Menu" uses premium hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake, paired with seasonal ingredients like osmanthus, chrysanthemum, fish maw, and peanut sprouts etc. Each dish captures the poetry of the season and the craftsmanship of fine Chinese dining.

This seasonal tasting journey presents a series of exquisite dishes inspired by autumn's bounty. Highlights include Amber Elegance, a delicate tofu sphere filled with crab roe and crab meat in a light jackfruit broth, balancing richness with gentle sweetness; Chrysanthemum Grace, wok-fried fish maw with crab oil and pickled peanut sprouts, topped with chrysanthemum petals for a subtle floral note; Golden Reunion, braised sturgeon tendon and bird's nest cooked with rich crab roe, symbolizing prosperity and grace; and Steamed Hairy Crab with Osmanthus and Chinese Yellow Wine, where the natural sweetness of the crab is enhanced by the mellow fragrance of aged Chinese rice wine and the floral perfume of osmanthus blossoms.
