Zhejiang cuisine

Zhejiang cuisine consists of at least three styles, each originating from a major city in the province:[2]

• Hangzhou style: Characterised by rich variations and the use of bamboo shoots. It is served in restaurants such as the Dragon Well Manor.[3]
• Shaoxing style: Specialising in poultry and freshwater fish.
• Ningbo style: Specialising in seafood, with emphasis on freshness and salty dishes.

Some sources also include the Wenzhou style (Ou cuisine) as a separate subdivision due to its proximity to Fujian Province. Wenzhou style is characterised as the greatest source of seafood as well as poultry and livestock.[4]
