this is honestly shanghainese food at its best - very authentic; and the variety of the menu is huge. when i am in HK i come here at least once a month. and the food is always consistently good. i strongly recommend the 'foo gwai gai' (literally luxurious chicken), 'chong shu yu' (fried sweet and sour fish), and all of the smoked dishes - smoked eggs, smoked chicken, oooh especially SMOKED POMFRET! it's slightly crisp on the outside, tender and to-the-bite on the inside if you're a fan of red be

if you're a fan of red bean buns you should definitely try them here. they are good sized (not teeny!) and the proportion of bun-to-paste (ie. not too much filling nor too much skin) is just right - but make sure you order them in advance because you need to.
their 8 treasure rice (dessert) is good, i prefer it pan-fried than steamed but if you eat it steamed they serve it with wolfberry/date syrup and that is awesome. i drench my rice in it everytime
the only downside is it is members-only - but i can take you!
