Shenzhen (Jin Xiu Jiangnan) June Town Chinese Restaurant

Had dinner at this restaurant last Sunday in Shenzhen. Restaurant was a stone's throw away from the Oriental Ginza Grand Mercure Hotel (located at Futian District), the place where we stayed. (See blog written below)

It appears when we stood outside this restaurant, we saw its list of accolades - listed in the food directory as one of the few good places to eat for its Lobster and Hairy Crab dishes. There were a few plaques and awards lined on its wall too so we decided to try...

Of all the dishes we ordered, I liked the Shenjin tian-ya (goose meat) best. It tastes simply heavenly! Apart from the skin which was a little fat and oily, the dish was great. But I suppose its this skin that made this dish what it is!!! So no complaints about it. Also, noted that the goose meat had some strains of the goose hairy stubs on it. Not sure if its meant to be served as part of the fantaastic skin though... but overall, its still a GREAT goose dish!

We also ordered dim-sum and many other jiangnan flavoured dishes. The charsiew was great! It was so crispy done, it sizzles. There was a layer of fatty oil on it - which made its flavour stand out! Yummy. We also tried dishes such as kai-lan vegetables served on cold ice, bai-ling mushroom with caixin, grilled pork slices... etc It was good meal. We had to down it with chinese tea to wash away the oil and for all the sinful but delicious food we had there. Overall, the food served tantalised my tastebuds and the meal does not burn a hole in your pocket. With about 8-9 dishes we ordered, we only forked out a sum of about RMB 195 (approx S$65) for 4 person. Well worth a visit. June Town Restaurant is located at :
Futian District, Shennan Boulevard, Zhuzilin Qiushi Building 2, Level 3. Tel: +86 (0755) 33361888.
