Lunch at this 1 Michelin star restaurant in April 2011. It was full when we arrived towards the end of lunch but they found us a table after 10 minutes at the bar.
The service during the meal was efficient but impersonal, with orders taken quickly and without much interaction. This was fine for a quick lunch, but for a special occasion it may not appeal.
The food was for the most part very good;
* Shanghainese Spring rolls - simple but executed well. Pastry was crispy and not oily. Vegetable filling had a nice crunch to it. * Sauteed minced chicken with pine nuts and sesame pastry pockets - A signature dish. Chicken had good flavor with lots of garlic and onion. The pockets were nice and flaky. * Camphor smoked duck - Duck was dry and tough. The weakest dish by far. * Shredded chicken, chilli oil - Excellent dish, well balanced, nice amount of heat/spice. This was the highlight dish. * Pork dumplings and black truffle - Truffle was not too obvious, just a hint. Pork filling had good flavour and the wrapper was good.
