Restaurant reopened in the first week of December and Member was eager to take us before the crab season closed.
Dinner. Seated in one of the 7 private rooms on the revamped 3rd floor.
Here’s what we had.
Appetizers：
搶虎尾- soft and flavorful; didn’t feel like I was eating eel at all.
魚子燻蛋- beautiful pairing of rich, smoky egg and the briny caviar
素鵝
大閘蟹（六両公蟹)- not for me but I contributed the lovely Henri Giraud Solera to go with it.
翡翠鴛鴦蝦- succulent prawns were cooked to perfection, showcasing their fresh tenderness. The surrounding green balls were deep fried balls of prawns mixed with spinach which apparently was an off-menu item.
火瞳雞燉大排翅- highlight of my night. Everyone was fighting to takeaway the ham.
蟹粉粉皮+ 金衣鍋把 (ie 鍋把 coated with salted egg)
蔥燒海參
火丁甜豆- all time favorite. Peas were more substantial and sweeter than the ones I recently had at 蘇浙.
蟹粉豆苗，冬筍豆苗
素蒸餃- another must-try; delicate skin filled with flavorful vegetable mixture steamed to perfection.
煎南瓜餅- crispy exterior with soft pumpkin filling; a perfect end to a memorable dining experience.
In summary: a delightful array of dishes that beautifully captured the essence of Shanghainese cuisine; with warm and attentive service. Too bad we will have to defer to Member for our next visit.
