小南國 is a well-known restaurant chain in Hong Kong and Mainland. The menu has plenty of Shanghaiese regional dishes, and also a range of Shanghaiese street food in a more glamorous style. The dning room has an uncluttered simplicity, tidy and neat. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful, the waiters are not very much attention to details but was friendly and helpful to diners.Cuisine: ShanghaieseFood rating: 4/10*Service: 5/10 Ambiance: 6/10Price: HK$150pax* Food Rating: 6/10 is equiva

Vegetable & Bean curd Roll (1/10)
The rolls were rather bland, it just taste like bread with veg with no seasoning.
Tofu and Century eggs with chillies (3/10)The tofu was nice, fancy presentation showcased the chef’s knife skills. The sauce was light and the century eggs gave the smooth tofu a complexity.
Braised pork belly (4/10)The braised pork belly is a classic Shanghai dish, but fattening. This pork belly had good texture, soft and tender, and the sauce was fully infused within.
蔥油餅 (4/10)This version of蔥油餅was rather different than conventional ones. It was crispy outside containing some toasted sesame seeds and the bread was fairly season. If there were more taste of spring onion would be preferable.
八寶飯 (4/10)The rice was pleasant, sweet and delicate, very rich in flavour. The rice was cooked nicely, very al dente, more importantly the sweetness were very balanced.
Service, always good in general, better than most of the chain restaurants, just not as attentive as it should have been. This place is a real bargain for the price you and the quality of food you get. Give me a thumbs up if you like it!
