Dinner with relatives. The meal consisted of 小籠包, 賽螃蟹, 雞絲粉皮, 擔擔麵, 青菜煨麵, 回鍋肉 and 生煎包.小籠包 - The best dish of the evening, with the little buns steamed to perfection and a nice hot sip of soup inside the bun. 賽螃蟹 - I know people are scared of using raw egg yolk, but the dish just doesn't taste good if the egg yolk is absent. 雞絲粉皮 - Not bad. Pity about the serving size, so small... I do like it how they put sugar into the peanut-like sauce, the taste is a bit strange for some, but I like it. 擔擔麵 -

小籠包 - The best dish of the evening, with the little buns steamed to perfection and a nice hot sip of soup inside the bun.
賽螃蟹 - I know people are scared of using raw egg yolk, but the dish just doesn't taste good if the egg yolk is absent.
雞絲粉皮 - Not bad. Pity about the serving size, so small... I do like it how they put sugar into the peanut-like sauce, the taste is a bit strange for some, but I like it.
擔擔麵 - Didn't try, so no comment.
青菜煨麵 - As bland and simple as it can be. The noodles go well with the densely flavoured Shanghai cuisine, a nice rest for the tongue.
回鍋肉 - Didn't try either. The appearance doesn't look appealing at all.
生煎包 - The appearance is typical of 生煎包, but the stuffing wasn't 100% cooked. It has to be 100% cooked (because it is pork), but then the balance between cooking the stuffing and not burning the 生煎包 is what makes the buns so hard to cook to perfection.
The dishes came out exceptionally fast - we finished our dinner in less than an hour. Coupled with the relatively cheap price per head, it's almost like eating at a fast food restaurant.
