SHANGHAI TAN

Everything is so perfect in this place~ I like the seasonal vegetables that I can't name (Figure 1). They are fresh, juicy, slightly bitter, and finally sweet. They are the Hermes of vegetables. The taste is unexpected! I also like the orange peel bird's nest. The dessert tastes very unique. I recommend everyone to try it. It's just that it was served a little early. [Insidious] [Insidious] The most recommended is the slow-cooked beef. The wagyu beef melts in your mouth. The sweet taste is more suitable for young people! The restaurant staff is very professional and always serves attentively. The decoration of the private room is very private and high-end! I like it very much~

In the old Shikumen house in Xintiandi, the place is quite large and decorated in a fashionable Chinese style The set meal is Chinese food with Western food, one course after another, one for each person, full of ritual The taste is also very good, and the taste of high-end Chinese restaurants is generally not bad. The disadvantage is that the quantity is too small, and I didn’t eat enough as I was on a diet It’s a hard problem to charge for drinking lemonade, maybe there is no service charge The service is very timely

The current Shanghai Tang restaurant in Xintiandi is actually quite different from the previous one. The Shikumen house that Shanghai Tang rented was taken back as part of the expanded First National Congress Memorial Hall, and the main force of Shanghai Tang should now be moved to BFC Bund Financial Center. Although Xintiandi has reopened a branch, it is not as good as the BFC branch in all aspects. In terms of scenery, you can still see some old Shikumen houses here, but the night view of Lujiazui at BFC is more beautiful and the field of vision is wider; in terms of convenience, you have to climb stairs to the second floor here, which is a bit troublesome for people with inconvenient legs and feet, while the elevator at BFC goes directly to the second floor; in terms of service, the level of detail here is slightly worse, especially for boys, who react slowly and feel that their thoughts cannot be turned around, and they feel a little numb; in terms of facilities, the bathroom here is too small, only enough for one person to turn around on the spot. In short, the environment is not as good as the BFC branch, and the quality of the dishes is also slightly inferior. The sauce of the fried shrimp this time is a bit too much and too salty. However, the overall standard of Shanghai Tang is still better than many other restaurants. I just felt the quality of the BFC branch, so I think the Xintiandi branch is not worth visiting. Finally, the parking coupons given by the restaurant cannot be used in the underground garages at Xingye Road and Madang Road. They can only be used in the Taiping Lake underground garage. The problem is that there is no elevator in that garage, and it is inconvenient for the elderly to climb up.

Shanghai Beach Restaurant, a one-star restaurant on the Food & Beverage list. Just by hearing the name of the restaurant, you know that it is a very good local cuisine restaurant. And its location is actually in a small house in the bustling Xintiandi area. The restaurant's facade is very low-key, but after entering the restaurant, you will find how exquisite its decoration is. The designer used a combination of different tones and Shanghai elements to decorate the place perfectly, as if returning to the old Shanghai time. Although we dined in the lobby on the second floor, the partitions in different areas were still exquisite and delicate, and even the automatic hidden door partitions in the bathroom were specially designed. Their dishes are improved and processed on the basis of traditional Shanghai cuisine, which greatly improves the taste of the dishes. We ordered several special dishes on the recommendation of the waiter. Sweet and sour spare ribs, black truffle cloth bag, fermented bean curd foie gras sauce, braised veal, crispy small tangcai, stir-fried peas, Shanghai soy sauce hairy crab, Shanghai steamed buns, dim sum platter, Shanghai ice cream, white sesame pudding. From cold dishes to hot stir-fry to dim sum, each dish is very exquisite. The dishes also taste very authentic. I was particularly impressed by the black truffle bag, which is what we Shanghainese call a lucky bag, but the ingredients inside are more upscale and the taste is more delicious. Fermented bean curd and goose liver sauce, I thought it was real fermented bean curd at first, but I didn't know it was goose liver until I took a bite. Paired with the scallion pancakes next to it, it was so delicious in retrospect that I was tempted even when I wrote the review. Fried peas with three diced, don't think it's just a simple stir-fry, Shanghai Beach Restaurant has very good control from the selection of peas to the heat. Therefore, it will feel fresh and juicy after entering the mouth, and it is also the best dish I think. Shanghai soy sauce hairy crab, thick oil and red sauce, a classic of traditional Shanghai cuisine. Delicious, of course, crab is one of the best ingredients in the Jiangnan region, and the rice cake absorbs the essence of the juice in the middle, and it tastes glutinous and flavorful. Dim sum is a highlight here, and each one is very exquisite. Especially the black swan crisps and durian hedgehog crisps in the platter, which are not only cute in shape, but also taste great. The Shanghai ice cream and white sesame pudding are also not to be missed. It is definitely worthy of the title of a one-star restaurant by the Food and Beverage Association.

For health reasons, we did not eat New Year's Eve dinner, but Mid-Year dinner instead. We booked a private room, which is not the largest, but unfortunately lacks a bathroom. The amount of food was moderate, the poached chicken was a bit old, the bamboo shoots were quite spicy, the smoked fish and beef were the best, especially the large pieces of beef paste were tender and filling. Overall, the elders present were basically satisfied.

The company had important out-of-town guests visiting, and when we had dinner in the evening, we chose Shanghai Tang in Xintiandi. The exterior of the restaurant is the appearance of an old-fashioned Shikumen, which is very artistic under the bright lights of Xintiandi at night. Walking into the restaurant, it seems to have traveled through time and space and walked into a foreign-style house of a wealthy family in old Shanghai during the Republic of China period. The decoration and furnishings inside are both exquisite and luxurious. The first floor of the restaurant is a private room, and the hall for individual guests is on the second floor. Because there was no reservation in advance, the private room was already full, so we could only sit in the hall on the second floor. Perhaps affected by the environment, the guests dining on the second floor spoke softly, and it was also a quiet place. The menu of the restaurant is very exquisite, and the pictures of each dish are very beautiful, making people want to order one of each. Shanghai Tang’s main dish is naturally local cuisine, but it is not completely conventional local cuisine. Just like the environment of Xintiandi where the restaurant is located, it is integrated with fashion. For example, the braised duck tongue we often eat is cooked with black pepper here. Black pepper is added to the marinade to make the duck tongue more fragrant. Haiwan thickly roasted crab bone sauce, I don’t know why, this dish reminds me of eight-treasure hot sauce. It is the season for eating crabs. The store will break the crabs into pieces and roast them with winter bamboo shoots in thick oil and red sauce. It tastes very fresh. There is also Mapo tofu stone pot bibimbap. Although only Korean bibimbap is delicious, this bibimbap from Shanghai Beach kills those kimchi in a second. The hot and tender tofu is mixed with rice, and you will be surprised that tofu can be cooked so deliciously. The dishes of Shanghai Beach are delicate and exquisite. The only thing that I feel is that the quantity is not large.

The restaurant at Shanghai New World Club has a very special decoration, with bright and intense red, blue and purple, which are matched but not conflicting. The small private room on the second floor is a renovation of the patio of an old house, which is suitable for dining and gathering in the sunshine at noon. Crabs are in season this season, and the crab meat dumplings are very delicious. Every dish is beautiful in presentation and taste. It is very suitable for dining with foreign friends.

The environment is very beautiful. There is such a quiet restaurant on a busy street, quiet in the hustle and bustle! The environment inside the store is very old Shanghai style! The food is also very delicious. The Shanghai steamed buns are juicy and thin with a little vinegar. The more famous truffle cloth bag in the store is wrapped with thin mushrooms, fresh and tender. I highly recommend everyone to go, and the price is not very high!
