Taste of Shanghai

This past Tuesday the interns at work and I decided to try this Shanghainese restaurant that's always packed during lunch hour. Apparently famous for their crab- a conclusion made from the newspaper and photo clippings in the stores window, this eatery is a great place to take a group of more than three. Taking in to account that we're meager interns, and that crab isn't in season, we opted to order some local cheaper delights. We ordered: fried tofu, siu long bao (of course), pan fried dumplings, noodles, chicken, and soup. My apologies for the pathetic translation, but that is a result of my pathetic chinese. The meal was delicious. Each dish was full of flavor, with nothing overpowering. The six of us left completely satisfied.
If you're looking for a quiet relaxing meal, this is not the location for you. We were seated with another party, sharing our table with about six strangers (some of whom were photographed in the background of the soup shot).
Conclusion: great food, authentic experience, clean enough, and each of us only shelled out around 50 hkd.
