About Us!

ORIGIN OF THE NAME
Longmen (龍門) refers to the Doman ‘dragon gate’ folklore (Longmen itself is 'dragon gate' in Old Doman). The folklore states that a hardy carp fish that swam upstream against the river’s strong current and successfully leaped over a waterfall, was transformed into a powerful long (an auspicious creature that looks like a serpentine dragon in Doman folklore). It is a popular folklore across the Doman society that there is a common idiom referencing the myth, named “the carp that jumps over the dragon gate”, usually used to symbolize one’s successful achievements through hard work.THE RESTAURANT
In a certain corner of Ul’dah’s bustling commercial district, lies a conspicuous Far Eastern-styled building with strikingly bright red colors and adorned with various Yanxian style decorations such as the stone guardian lions (shishi). According to the old Doman tradition, red is an auspicious color that would bring good fortune and luck to its bearer. Thus, it was chosen as the representative color that dominates the settlement.When a visitor enters the restaurant, they would be greeted with a myriad of foreign aroma that comes from the semi-open kitchen in one corner of the main dining area. More than a half of the staff that work in the settlement are fellow Far Eastern delegates that journeyed across the Othardian seas—who are more than happy to proudly introduce the taste of Far Eastern cuisine to the Eorzean society. The rest of the staff members are local Eorzeans from various backgrounds who are interested in expanding the reach of their culinary knowledge or simply wishing to get an easy job with generous pay—something that the business owner would gladly provide to those in need.DO YOU KNOW?
This restaurant is known for housing their signature long xu mian/ryuushumen (dragon beard noodle) dish as well as the up and coming trendy dessert called the boba tea (Doman-style milk tea served with edible chewy bubble pearls).All ingredients we use here are directly sourced and procured from their native Othard for the best and most authentic quality.

Food/Drink	Description	Price
Longmen Dragon Beard Noodle	A Yanxian-style dragon beard noodle (no, we do not use ingredients taken from actual dragonkind) dipped in a flavorful meat based broth alongside diced spring onions, mushroom, tofu and soft boiled egg. The noodles are manually handpulled multiple times until thin before cooking.	10,000 gil
Yanxian Meat Stew	A meat stew prepared in a traditional Yanxian-style cooking, available in beef or pork choices. Best suited to eat with rice to warm yourself up.	10,000 gil
Doman Chili Crab	Stir-fried crab wrapped in a predominantly spicy chili sauce that has a sweet and savory secondary taste from the tomato. Due to its partially sweet taste, it's a rather foreigner-friendly choice for those who are not accustomed with spicy cuisine. However, customers are free to adjust their preferred spice level (no chili, mild, medium, hot and purgatory).	10,000 gil
Gensui roasted duck	A traditional Yanxian-style dish where the duck meat is roasted until the thin skin is all crisp and tender. Often eaten with the combination of spring onions or pickled cucumber on the sides.	8,000 gil
Flash-grilled Doman river carp	By definition, this would be a typical "fast food" to Doman, as this smoked carp is cooked in a rather instant way...with flame/lightning aetheric magic. To add more flavor, the fish itself is slathered with spices and herbs before cooking.	7,000 gil
Yanxian-style stir-fried vegetables	A staple vegetarian-friendly dish of the Far East for those who are seeking for non-meat dishes. Made out of bok choy (or spinach), pepper flakes, garlic, and bits of tomatoes.	7,000 gil
Sweet Osmanthus Tea	A staple for afternoon tea sessions for Doman society, where the dried flowers of sweet osmanthus are infused in a black tea. Contains antioxidant properties.	3,000 gil
Eastern Beauty	Another staple for afternoon tea and snack sessions; a popular oolong tea variant made out of dried camellia flowers. Has a naturally sweet taste and pleasant aroma when served.	3,000 gil
Osmanthus Wine*	Classic Doman spirits best served cold. Tastes the same as you remember, along with the ones you share your memories with.	9,000 gil
Four Seasons*	An meijiu/umeshu (plum liqueur) drink with its striking signature orange-reddish color and fruity, sweet taste.	10,000 gil
Boba tea	This recently popular up and coming dessert consists of Doman black tea as the base drink, mixed in with cow's milk. It is also served with chewy black tapioca pearls lathered in (a rather very sweet) liquid brown sugar.	5,000 gil
Mineral Water	Don't forget to hydrate!	Complimentary

rules

Longmen Eatery abides to the main three important rules to the community: community building, safety and respect. Thus, there are rules that one must also abide while visiting. Namely:

Show proper respect to the proprietor, workers and fellow guests.
As this is a SFW venue, please refrain from doing ERP (no, not Extreme Raid Progression) or any R-18 conversation over the say chat. Our guests' comfort and safety should be the first priority! Please keep everything in a private chat if you will.
All forms of bigotry (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc) will not be tolerated in the chat. Failing to abide to the three points above, then you will be escorted out of the establishment.
During regular openings: you are free to chat, roleplay, AFK and GPOSE within the venue! (if roleplaying in say chat, please be mindful to discern IC and OOC)
During immersive RP openings: please be in-character when you are interacting in the premises. RPing in say chats are encouraged, but isn't a must. Use bracket symbols to signify OOC chats. If you wish to go AFK, it's fine as well - but consider that others might approach you for interaction.

Please send the owner or workers a /tell to order your food and beverages!
Questions through /tell to the owner is fine as well!
While visitors are allowed to privately use their mods, no "dark arts" syncshell will be shared in the venue so all of my GPOSE will be vanilla based.
