It is one of those Shanghainese restaurants that have been around for ages, where you would be served with authentic Shanghainese cuisine at affordable prices by grandpas who would candidly advise you on what to order. Here we are the two of us for lunch on a weekday and managed to get a last minute booking. Lunch sets start from about 200ish for two, or you could also order a la carte, which gives you more choices. Today, we ordered smoked eggs, jelly fish, ma lan tou, shredded tofu sheet cooke
Here we are the two of us for lunch on a weekday and managed to get a last minute booking. Lunch sets start from about 200ish for two, or you could also order a la carte, which gives you more choices. Today, we ordered smoked eggs, jelly fish, ma lan tou, shredded tofu sheet cooked with dried shrimps, and fish head cooked in a clay pot.
Smoked eggs - done perfectly with the right balance of marinates, added on top a flavoursome and silky yolk (note that the yolk here is larger than the ones you find at most restaurants and they use duck eggs here rather than chicken eggs which carry a stronger flavour)
Jelly fish - typical shanghainese fare, no disappointment nor surprise here
Ma lan tou- again a typical shanghainese appetiser that never disappoints (though some people might find the grassy flavour a bit off putting)
Shredded tofu sheet cooked with dried shrimps- I would usually order shredded tofu sheet cooked with Chinese ham and chicken but today I decided to try this version instead which was cooked with dried shrimps, not a smart choice, stick with the Chinese ham and chicken version if you could, otherwise not worth ordering
Fish head cooked in a clay pot - not bad but could not say it was superb, the fish head was fresh and they put cassava noodles in it which absorbed all the flavours from the dish. The sauce was made with soy sauce, sugar, Chinese wine etc, and carries a strong flavour, which is typical in Shanghainese cuisine. I remember having a similar dish at Hang Zhou Restaurant, which was superior to this dish here.
