Checking the new club house's Chinese restaurant. With a focus on Shanghainese and Sichuanese cuisine, reservations are best made a month in advance even though it's members only.We had my first proper 水煮魚 ($558) and thankfully it wasn't super spicy. It was more numbing than anything but that's what I prefer over plain old spicy. The glass noodle bits were so noce, I understand why some would take the soup make home and throw in fresh slices of fish to keep making the dish over and over again.An

We had my first proper 水煮魚 ($558) and thankfully it wasn't super spicy. It was more numbing than anything but that's what I prefer over plain old spicy. The glass noodle bits were so noce, I understand why some would take the soup make home and throw in fresh slices of fish to keep making the dish over and over again.
Another fish dish was the crispy mandarin fish was sweet and sour sauce and pine nuts ($298), an all time favourite of mine. This one can be crunhcier but was pretty good. Not sure if pine nuts are a scarcity now because we only fpund less than 15 nuts in the whole dish!
We also ordered the crispy eel ($108), MA FAVE, baby limb slices with cumin($138), super tender, green onion pancake/cake ($56) and greens. The interior actually looks so much better the further you walk in. The entrance is unfortunately rather unappealing, but I kind the craze. If only booking for four wasn't so hard
