Came here for dinner as boyfriend wanted to try it out. Located in the Sheung Wan area, is a small restaurant called 大頭佛城隍廟 (or in English "Big Head Buddha"). It serves a small variety of Shanghai dishes. Brightly lit, it felt more like a cafe than a Shanghai restaurant.Menu in Chinese and English. They had rice and noodle sets along with some small dishes.Shanghai Pork Chop Ramen Set ($52). Set included a bowl of pork chop noodles, one beef cake and soymilk. I have no idea what happened to my

Shanghai Pork Chop Ramen Set ($52). Set included a bowl of pork chop noodles, one beef cake and soymilk. I have no idea what happened to my photo of the noodles. I can't seem to find it. But it was a rather small bowl with a lot of preserved vegetables on top. Noodles were a bit over cooked and soggy. Soup was overly salty MSG.Pork chop was also overly salty. Though at least it wasn't dry and overcooked. It was also very oily.
The set came with one beef cake but we also ordered a pepper pork cake ($15) as well. The pastry was ok and not too thick but really oily as well.
The inside was filled with juicy meat but it was so salty.The pepper pork was even more salty than the beef cake.
Brine Chicken Wings with Vegetable Rice Set ($48). Set included soysauce chicken wings, one soysauce marinated hard boiled egg with vegetable rice, spicy cucumber and soymilk. Portion size was pretty small. Rice was a bit too soggy. Vegetables were diced not very finely and wasn't mixed into the rice properly. The chicken wings were bland and overcooked. The egg was flavorless.
Spicy cucumber was super spicy but not crunchy. Not very good as well.
One note was the soymilk was in a fairly decent size cup.Food wasn't very good and too salty. Prices are quite inexpensive. There is no 10% so not too bad. A good option for those that work in the area want something inexpensive to eat. I, myself, won't return.
