Vegetable & Bean curd Roll (1/10)
The rolls were rather bland, it just taste like bread with veg with no seasoning. Tofu and Century eggs with chillies (3/10)
The tofu was nice, fancy presentation showcased the chef’s knife skills. The sauce was light and the century eggs gave the smooth tofu a complexity.Braised pork belly (4/10)
The braised pork belly is a classic Shanghai dish, but fattening. This pork belly had good texture, soft and tender, and the sauce was fully infused within. 蔥油餅 (4/10)
This version of蔥油餅was rather different than conventional ones. It was crispy outside containing some toasted sesame seeds and the bread was fairly season. If there were more taste of spring onion would be preferable.八寶飯 (4/10)
The rice was pleasant, sweet and delicate, very rich in flavour. The rice was cooked nicely, very al dente, more importantly the sweetness were very balanced. Service, always good in general, better than most of the chain restaurants, just not as attentive as it should have been. This place is a real bargain for the price you and the quality of food you get.

Give me a thumbs up if you like it!

星期六 8:30 pm 左右o係新城市 7 樓搵食 , 一心諗住實有排等
打定輸數拎定幾間o既飛然後邊間快就食邊間就算喇 ,
點知最心水o既上海小南國 , 一埋去講低 " 兩位 " 佢就即刻領我地入座第一次黎 , 本身打算都係食返平時我地o既食上海野o既必點菜色 ,
分別係雞絲粉皮 , 小籠包同擔擔面 , 但見到 menu 有 d 幾特別o既推介
我地就一於試下其他野 , 叫左一個冷小食 , 一個面食 , 小籠包同鍋貼 ,
另外茶就揀左菊花 , 味道清淡 , 帶陣陣清幽o既菊花香 , 相當怡人 1. 金瓜絲海蜇 ~ 金瓜絲我本身以為係南瓜 , 原來真係有金瓜呢樣野o家喎
金瓜切得非常幼絲 , 可見美妙刀功 , 拌勻住海蜇 , 但份量略縑太少混入左充滿麻油香o既醬汁 , 醬汁味道偏淡 , 因而突顯金瓜甜味
兩者同様爽脆可口 , 如果海蜇份量再多 d , 會多加一份彈牙o既口感

2. 南國蔥油開洋拌面~ menu 簡介話係幾乎每枱必點o既面食 , 只用簡單o既蔥油拌面
就己經好香好好味 , 唔需要用 d 咩花考功夫或特色食材 , 決定一試 果然好香蔥油味 , 仲有 d 乾蔥絲 , 蝦乾 ,蔥段 , 味道咸香得宜 ,
面條都幾煙韌 , 入口唔會話太油膩 , 如果可以加 d 肉碎會更豐富

3. 招牌小籠包~ 一籠三隻 , 隻隻飽滿 , 肉眼睇都見到 d 湯汁 , 迫不及待要先食 ,
除左摺疊位較厚之外 , 包身算是皮薄餡靚 , 輕輕咬穿 , 散一散熱然後一口整粒食 , 肉質鮮滑 , 湯汁亦鮮甜 , 配上帶酒香o既醋 , 好正 !

4. 蟹粉鍋貼~ 平時多數都係食蟹粉小籠包 , 鍋貼就比較少見 , 同樣一客三件
反轉脆身o個面上枱 , 好靚 , 煎脆左o既鍋貼底 , 好薄好香口 ,避不過o既油膩 , 鍋貼反轉可見整個面上都係亮晶晶立立令 ,
鍋貼比小籠包當然會較乾身 , 所以豬肉做得好唔好就好緊要 ,
如果唔靚o既 , 就連肉餡都係乾爭爭 , 而呢個蟹粉鍋貼 , 除左肉汁
入口仲多一份甘香o既蟹油 , 食落出奇地 juicy , 可列入小南國必點## 呢排成日都係食返之前團購左o既食店 , 或者係有目的咁去搵食
好耐無試過誤打誤撞咁隨心情食 , 開心今日遇到這水準不錯o既上海菜

十一月五日 (星期一)

近排最流行的食品，非大閘蟹莫屬
幾乎每日在Facebook也見到牠的蹤影，那誘人的金黃色蟹膏實在令人難以抵擋
除了架架妹，家中還有爸爸和弟弟也是大閘蟹控，媽媽卻怕膽固醇高而敬而遠之
幾年來，家人也會到蟹店買回家煮，但每次也把餐桌甚至地板弄髒，所以，打從上年，還是出外吃較方便

早陣子，收到中銀信用卡的宣傳單張，在小南國惠顧大閘蟹套餐有折扣優惠
來自上海的它一向口碑不錯，今年一於就來小南國吃大閘蟹!醬香牛筋｜糖醋小排骨
八款前菜，任選當中兩款
醬香牛筋帶微辣，非常惹味
糖醋小排骨的肉質軟腍，甜甜的非常開胃清蒸陽澄湖大閘蟹
店員細心，在我們面前替我們把大閘蟹切開，更易吃
雖然眼前的大閘蟹不算大隻，約三至四両，但金黃的蟹膏份量十分多
蟹膏十分黏口且鮮甜，蟹肉亦很鮮甜嫰滑金華菜膽雲吞雞湯
雲吞兩隻，肉質鮮味
湯底雞味甚濃，挺不錯的生拆蟹粉石榴花獅子頭是全晚最失色的一道菜式
外皮很硬，而且沒甚味道
生拆蟹粉份量也很少，獅子頭質感死實的另一道蟹粉菜式則完全不同，生拆蟹粉豆腐算是整餐的亮點
蟹粉鮮味豐腴，豆腐十分嫰滑
拌飯吃最適合不過清炒豆苗
小時候，媽媽常炒豆苗吃，吃到時有生厭
這碟豆苗炒得夠鑊氣，無奈鹽落得不平均
部份過鹹，部份又無味，真大刹風景小籠包皮過厚，不過內裡肉汁挺豐富的
蟹粉不夠多，整體上只算合格食完大閘蟹這寒涼之物，當然要飲薑茶來驅寒
這碗薑茶血糯米桂花湯圓薑味濃郁，飲起來充滿刺激
四粒迷你芝麻圓湯，皮薄，芝麻餡香濃流心

今年真有口福，已經品嚐了幾次大閘蟹
下次會與食友們到老上海，更是期待!

週未去沙田新城市食飯真係多人到爆，就算朋友已經book左位，我地都要等佢地揾到位擺多張枱。呢度啲小菜味道唔錯，但唔知係咪將貨就價，啲size就真係好鬼細，所以我地7個人都叫左成11個餸。
首先嚟四小碟(前菜)先糖醋小排骨：糖醋味唔夠，排骨太鞋紹興花雕醉雞：酒味可以濃啲，份量ok，但雞肉唔夠滑雞絲拌粉皮：呢個整得出色，醬汁夠，又用沙律菜伴食，比齋用青瓜爽口四喜烤麩：份量少，但味道好正，烤麩無怪味

食完四小碟，再嚟四主菜干煸四季豆：味道唔錯特色松子魚：呢個好正，魚炸得香脆，配埋個汁，正！如果個汁酸啲仲好
义子鬆：义子啲肉鬆味道淡左啲，义子唔夠香脆蔥爆牛肉：加多左雜菇炒，啲菇吸左啲汁好好味。炒牛肉火候啱啱好。

最後三個主食
生拆蟹粉小籠包：皮薄多汁
紅油抄手：個紅油唔香唔辣，唔推介
菜肉大餛飩：味道普通

總括嚟講，如果唔怕多人，呢度都係開飯好地方。食物質素中規中距，空間迫，但勝在服務唔錯，唔會趕人走，而且上菜亦有分前後(唔知係咪咁啱咋)，唔會將啲前菜後上。

第一次去食屯門嗰間，今次去沙田試下點知.......
食左小籠飽，(一般)
水煎飽，(唔熱，一般)
順嫂魚羹，(落單員落錯單嚟錯個薺菜羹，堅持唔要，其後有另外兩個侍應強調順嫂魚羹像酸嫁，有冇問題？松子魚重酸啦，又唔同我講聲？各位明啦
勝瓜炒菇菌，(一般)
松子魚(完全唔熱，冇魚味，得個酸字，回水呀！
一定唔會再去
同屯門嗰間差很遠！

今日DAD 生日, 全家人一齊慶祝 紅燒肉味道唔錯, 份量少得可憐
$180 每人得兩小舊比想像中好食, 有薄餅包住食, 正!!! 好多湯, 唔會好易穿 唔夠辣 好Salty Not good包裡面有湯
真想再食

之前聽不少人提過小南國,今次特登約朋友喺度食飯試吓
四個人要左兩個前菜及兩個主菜
醉雞: 雞肉唔滑, 唔夠酒味~不過份量就ok個菜卷唔知係咪食唔慣,覺得有陣怪味上海炒年糕,呢個味道太濃,年糕太un好似係醬爆牛肉,呢個最好味,露筍炒得爽口,牛肉又唔老,味道啱啱好唔好以為份量好多所以我地叫咁少,只係見味道唔特出,價錢又唔相宜,不如留肚食甜品

The food was very average, especially the smoked fish (Fun Yu) which is totally unacceptable as it does not match the original recipe. The quality of fish is lousy. This is intended to be a cold dish but it turned out to be an ordinary deep fried fish piece. The tea (for 4 people) was not brewed but simply made by placing a tea bag in the pot, yet its charge was remarkable. The service provided by the waiter/waitress was just good enough to get by. In summary, this restaurant is not worthy of the price it charges! It was not a pleasant dining experience for us, especially when we had a good expectation of its standard based on the recommendation of this blog.

星期日6點多, 在沒book枱下有位, 真的很幸運,不過服務生說要7:45pm前交枱.

一行三人, 因為時間關係,沒有花太多時間看menu,所以點了個4人set.
上菜很快,龍井蝦仁很好吃.有機會再去.

因媽媽愛吃上海菜, 差不多每年生日都會去吃上海菜慶祝, 今年來嘗嘗小南國~
早已BOOK枱, 接電話人仕早已說明有3個時段~
第一是6-7:30PM
第二是6:30-8PM
第三是8PM後~

無耐地唯有BOOK8PM~
但家人8PM到門口, 都還要等................... 每枱都有的前菜, 味道古古怪怪, 醬是超稠, 又鹹, 花生是腍, 合起來好怪~ 青瓜絲海蜇: 冇乜特別, 麻油味鹹鹹地, 爽爽地~
醉雞: 雞肉還算很滑, 但不夠醉味~ 霸王山莊比它酒味更濃~
還有, 明明個碗仲有2-3件醉雞, 但好幾個侍應經過, 都走來問係咪食完, 想收走~ 唔係真係咁大哂呀?! 好趕時間呀?!
四喜烤夫: 是涼拌的, 烤夫鬆鬆軟軟, 又吸滿了甜甜鹹鹹的汁, 好好味啊~ 擔擔麵: 很大碗, 但味道不夠, 麵也不多~
雪菜炒年糕: 年糕煙煙韌韌, 加埋雪菜鹹香, 好味~ 小龍包: 沒什麼特別~蟹粉生煎包: 一咬下去, 黃色的汁由包噴出來, 噴到我面側都有, 實在太誇張, 汁是好味, 但包皮偏乾偏厚, 肉餡又太少~蟹粉鍋貼: 都是一咬就有汁走出來, 鍋貼底脆, 但皮偏厚, 肉餡偏少~蔥油拌麵: 雖是偏鹹, 但麵有彈性, 蔥加上豉油都很香~ 蟹粉小龍包: 只是一個有少許蟹黃汁的普通小龍包, 沒什麼蟹肉~

如依這個價錢, 可以有更好選擇, 如之前吃過的家傳戶曉, 蟹粉的菜色, 就算不是大閘蟹肉, 都有很多一絲絲的蟹粉, 霸王山莊的醉雞又比這裡的醉, 別人的真材實料, 價錢相差不遠, 食客的舌頭是雪亮的!!!!!!!!
