Joining Hands with Local Culinary Culture Icon Juwei Quji to Launch a Lobster-Themed Menu for a Taste Bud Renewal Journey
ChangshaApril 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Starting today, E.D.I.T. Restaurant at Maqo Hotel Changsha has launched a cross-industry collaboration with Juwei Quji, a must-try local culinary culture IP in Changsha. Themed “A New ‘Gathering’ Place for Flavors,” the partnership introduces a limited-time co-branded set menu, aiming to blend trendy social spaces with the vibrant street-side culinary culture. It offers contemporary creators and global citizens a localized, unconventional lifestyle and taste experience.
This collaboration is another vivid practice of Maqo Hotel Changsha’s brand philosophy, “The Creator’s Choice.” The hotel has infused its commitment to meticulous planning and local roots into a deep partnership with Juwei Quji. From source selection to table presentation, both parties are dedicated to incorporating Juwei Quji’s crayfish, which embodies the vibrant flavors of Star City (Changsha), into a Western dining context through innovative forms, creating a series of bold and imaginative dishes. This is not only a fusion of cuisines but also a mutual endeavor between urban social gathering spaces and local street culture, elevating the taste of Changsha from the alleys to a trendy lifestyle that can be experienced and shared.
Inspiration Collision: Unlocking the Connection Between Food and Lifestyle
Starting from local cuisine and cultural creative experiences, Maqo Hotel Changsha has partnered with Juwei Quji to feature its iconic Changsha landmark dish, the classic braised crayfish. Breaking conventions, it engages in a vibrant flavor collision with Western cuisine, with each dish brimming with ingenuity: The appetizer, Crayfish Mango Salad, pairs the freshness of arugula with the sweetness of mango, creating a creative experiment in texture; the main course, Spicy Crayfish Pasta, coats the noodles in a spicy tomato sauce, embarking on a taste adventure. Selected specialties include crispy fried chicken wings topped with Hunan chili flakes, Mexican-style tacos blending crayfish and cod, and the Double Satisfaction Crayfish Chicken Burger, combining crayfish and crispy chicken cutlet. Each dish showcases the exciting and curated experiences of Maqo Hotel Changsha’s creators.
