Green Tea, Hangzhou


Our driver (a local in Hangzhou) recommended this restaurant, Green Tea.  We learnt that Green Tea is one of the most popular restaurants in Hangzhou and to queue for an hour to have a meal here was a common thing.  They have several branches within the province, but this one was in one of the more charming locations ...





As it was a hot day, we ordered some refreshing citrus drinks ... lemon yuzu juice ...



Kumquat green tea ...


One of their signature dishes ... cabbage (wa-wa chye) with black beans in a chili vinegar sauce ... delish!!!


Beancurd in a claypot ... also delish!


Chicken with soya sauce ...


Their signature Green Tea Biscuit ... this was really yummy!  It was crispy on the outside with toasted sesame seeds and a creamy yam/taro filling inside ... Yum! Yum! Yum!



We tried Grandma's Kitchen which was supposed to be pretty famous too, but ultimately we still went back to Green Tea as their food was much better and their quality consistent regardless of branch location.
