上海天龍樓

We stumbled upon this restaurant after a hike from Aberdeen Reservoir on a Sunday afternoon. Outside the window you can see two chefs making dumplings! The staff were sharing fruits amongst each other so it seems like they are a big loving family! Upon being seated we were offered free hot tea, the menu looked very big for a small restaurant that properly seats 40ish pax! We order our usual Shanghainese favourites, including 小籠包，鍋貼，蒸素餃，饅頭，排骨麵，lastly, we ordered a 砂鍋津白.The flavour of the xiao long bao was great but lacks some soup! Steam dumplings were very nice with strong flavours of sesame oil! Fried dumplings, steamed/fried bun was a big hit with the kids! The fried pork was juicy and golden! And lastly the soup pot was so very big with a lot of meat/ham/chicken gizzards, I think it was definitely value for money, the soup tasted nice, the meat inside was a bit bland, maybe its 湯渣 that we are not suppose to eat?!?! 😌Also, we had a home made soy drink that was very refreshing and delicious! Just one small thing, the vinegar was a bit bland… We enjoyed our lunch here and the service was great! …查看更多

天龍樓這個名字，讓我想起去東京幫襯過的銀座天龍，他們的招牌鍋貼（焼きギョーザ），配上特製的氈湯力沙華（餃子専用ジントニサワー），讓人回味再三，不禁要帶着親友再度前往，一同品味。香港仔的這家天龍樓，這個「樓」字，所謂樓者，重屋也，頓覺氣派不凡。實情，它是位於香港仔舊大街地舖的一家舊式上海菜館。店子賣的是滬式包點、湯麵客飯，家常味道。在比較旺場的午市進來，瞧見啤酒只十來二十元一大樽，下午不用工作的話，來一杯也不錯。這日來吃鱔糊客飯，索價＄６５，送例湯。餸量正好一人份，銀芽炒得幾香，只是少了點韮王，味兒差了一點兒。看到可以把白飯換成菜飯，合意。我想，這一換，加了幾塊錢，我沒能計清楚。得到的例湯是鹹肉煲雞頭雞尾、黃芽白，還有蛋花，不好此道可加＄４轉豆漿。我是湯人，上不了大檯的例湯我也決不放過。侍者見我喝得清光，問我要不要再來，我便不客氣了，輕輕點頭答謝。剛才說到價錢我沒計得清楚，因為馬上又是嚐了餐牌上沒有的排骨擔擔麵。可以參考的價格是，排骨麵＄５２，擔擔麵＄４５。得到的排骨酥而不脆，質素是不過不失。而擔擔湯香得來不夠濃，辣也是微不足道，不過就帶點鮮酸，味道整體尚算可以。麵條是幼麵，麵質有彈性、能吃湯，女性份量。麵在上桌前已被剪了一刀，對此我不明所以，是為了方便分吃嗎？意猶未盡，再來半客鍋貼（５隻）＄３１，始知何謂好戲在後頭。即點即煎的鍋貼，被告知製作需時１２分鐘。這完全不成問題，現點現做的新鮮貨色或者是隨時候命的半冷不熱？我的選擇是鐵一般的肯定，沒有懸念。得到的鍋貼，湯汁飽滿柔潤豐盈、肉餡鬆膩粗細得宜，最讓我驚喜的是那偏薄的皮仍不失麵粉的香氣，而且烙的程度正好。它偏離了我心中那理想鍋貼的樣式（坊間多見的舊式做法，外皮略厚，底部酥脆），卻又展示了在我眼中幾乎完美的演繹。今日得此鍋貼，可稱不枉此行。師傅在近門口的位置，默默地在包揑鍋貼，專心致志。臨行，不禁大讚他手藝高明。不苟言笑的他只揚了一下手，表示心領。我就不多打擾，退出去了。下次再來，也是會衝着包點而來的吧。要留意是客飯只在星期一至四供應，是幾特別的設定。另，小籠、鍋貼一類，週末期間不能柯打半份。…查看更多
