kinda fed up with the options in cityplaza and kornhill, we headed to the residential neighbourhood. The area was surprisingly quiet, as many probably went on vacation during the holidays, and this restaurant is one of the few which housed comparatively more diners.From the first glimpse of their menu, we were astonished as they offer quite an array of authentic dishes which ranges from common ones like fried rice/rice cake, dim sum, dan dan mian, to some rare ones like fried soufflé ball 高力豆沙,

A big shoutout to their sliced fish魚片, which arrived first at the table. The fish was tender, and every mouthful was infused with the chinese wine flavour. The only thing to complain is that the fish was a bit too salty in my opinion, perhaps the seasoning was too excessive.

Another worth trying dish would be their 干菜千層肉— you can treat it as 東坡肉 but the pork belly was thinly sliced. I have to praise the chefs’ knife skills, the slices were thin so you wouldn’t feel that greasy and heavy! Also the meat was tender and well seasoned, and I love how the fat melts in the mouth, you could tell this dish is really well-done!

As for their mains, we had their 孜然炒飯 and 雪菜年糕. I would say they are pretty normal like what we can get from other shanghai cuisine, so no special comments on them. Just that for that fried rice, the 孜然 flavour was really subtle in the sense that you could barely taste it, so I wouldn’t recommend that one.
Last up was our dessert, we had been looking forward to that all the time. I need to praise the texture of the balls! They were absolutely soft and fluffy, not to mention hot, so in terms of texture the balls were fabulously done. Yet, the amount of red bean paste inside was regrettably small, and most of the sweetness came from the caster sugar sprinkled on top of the balls. Would be a 5-star dish if they were more generous with the filling. Bummer.

Overall I would say the food was good though some could be done better for sure. But I’d say this restaurant serves quality food and it’s worth a try!
