招牌菜
Contrary to the common belief, not all my meals are extravagant! I do enjoy simple dishes and this Shanghainese meal was another good example of how I enjoy simple dishes with good company! Xinjishi 新吉士 is one of my personal favorites not only because of the food but perhaps the environment as well.(1) Preserved Eggs with Bean CurdOne of my favorite dishes of all times! Many restaurants nowadays tend have less preserved eggs for this dish but I like it with plenty of preserved eggs to go along with the silky smooth bean curd / tofu. I think the sauce was one of the key factors in making this dish so ... addictive. Slightly sweet but not too strong in overtaking the flavors of the preserved eggs. My friends and I were fighting over this dish!(2) KO-FU (braised wheat gluten with bamboo shoots)Rich in flavors on every bite but slightly too strong in my opinion. It was soft and chewy, a great dish to start the meal off.(3) Pan-fried string beans with dried chopped shrimpsIt was rather salty! The dried chopped shrimps paste were too salty and it was better to be mixed with some rice to go along with it. Also, the proportion was rather small as well. Disappointing!(4) Xiao Loong Bao (Steamed Pork Dumplings)The skin was thin enough but again the tip part of the dumpling was too "dough-y" likely due to the way it was prepared / wrapped. Not much meat juice was found inside but the meat was moist enough with a sufficient flavors. A fair dish indeed.(5) Fried rice cake with pork and vegetablesIt lacked flavors or maybe it was intended to have a light flavors. In either case, I don't like it not just because of the lack in flavors but also the rice cake was overly chewy, took me a long while to finish a spoonful of it.(6) Mini-rice dumplings in ginger soupWOW! It was spicy! Spicy in a Gingery way !!! I coughed a few times after the first sip. It was like having a burning sensation in mouth. I love ginger but this was too much! For ginger lovers, give it a try, you might actually like it. I guess my tolerance level for ginger might not be as high as I imagined!Likes: * Preserved Eggs with Bean Curd - might have to order two dishes next time to avoid the fight over it. * Xiao Loong Bao - not the best but meat was moist enough and skin was pretty thinDislikes: * Pan-fried string beans with dried chopped shrimps - too salty! * Fried rice cake with pork and vegetables - rice cake slices overly chewy * Mini rice dumplings in ginger soup - extremely gingery to a point it was rather spicy! Avg Spending: HKD 100 - 200 per personOriginal Blog with More Pictures: http://jason-bonvivant.blogspot.com/2009/11/xinjishi.html

叫左菜式如下:椒盬小黄鱼2条 $120 条鱼不是很大条, 鱼要靠点淮盬才有味香酥鸭半只 $120 偏干,偏鞋, 好彩可以ORDER 半只双菇面筋煲 $55 D面筋同一般素菜馆卖的唔同, 不会浸到淋晒, 一 PAT PAT, 面筋少少挺身, 几好味荠菜肉丝炒年糕 $68 很淡口麻酱鸡丝粉皮 $45 D麻酱带红, 应该不是全''麻'' 唔知加左D 乜, 但几好味咸水鸭 $55 鸭肉浸过咸味, 但不会过咸, 而且肉质不会过肥,瘦得来也不''un''鸡汁百叶包$60 鸡肉腌得几惹味生煎包 & 锅贴 $32EACH 肉汁够麻婆豆付 $60 以前曾在其他食店包括粤式,上海式菜馆都食过麻婆豆付,但这个辣少少葱油饼 $50 煎得略为㶶左些少, 而且D葱是成条夹在葱油饼内 .....不是切碎, 仲以为是碎葱, 不知成条葱夹在饼内是否特式制法 ????以这种装修格局的食店, 份量不会很多, 我觉得偏贵是椒盬小黄鱼打电话订位时,问过甚么卡可以有折扣, 但去到食野时才知联营卡不包在内 , 他们在这方面做得不是太好, 应该在电话内讲清楚, 但其他服务方 面如写菜,上菜, 收碟是ok食满$800 可以free 3小时泊车另外标题'可以再试'' 是因为menu内还有很多款式未试过, 以上曾经食过的食物会再叫的是...麻酱鸡丝粉皮, 锅贴, 双菇面筋煲

恤完靓髲的孖芝,出动觅食,钟情上海菜,听朋友评价又不错,故来了这儿试食 镇江肴肉:质感比其他店爽口,层次分明,那个jelly部分做得很好,无任何肥腻感,蘸以镇江醋很醒胃 醉鸡,孖芝到上海馆子必点的菜!这店的醉鸡很有酒香,不过调味偏淡,鸡肉不够滑,较多碎骨呢 小笼包︰皮很薄,肉够香嫩,热腾腾呷一口肉汤,好味! 上海粗炒:面身嘛,孖芝一个觉得偏硬,一个觉得有咬口,个人喜好啦~ 不会太咸,伴以很多青菜炒起,不油也不腻 桂花丸子:第一次吃有涵的酒酿丸子,而且有点点生果,蛮特别... 但酒味略淡,桂花香不突出,而且... 孖芝还是比较喜欢传统的小粉团 总的而言,所有菜色调味皆偏清淡,不过不失倒是姐姐们勤快的斟茶换碟功夫,值得一赞
