After a morning at the beach, my friends and I decided to go to Cyberport to catch a movie but unfortunately, the schedules didn't do us any good and all the movies were full. So we ended up walking around Cyberport looking for an early dinner and we discovered this awesome Shanghai restaurant on the 2nd floor. Basically, we sat down at a bar called "Beer" and then got hungry so we asked the waiter whether they served food. Unexpectedly, he said we could just order off the menu from the Shanghai
Basically, we sat down at a bar called "Beer" and then got hungry so we asked the waiter whether they served food. Unexpectedly, he said we could just order off the menu from the Shanghai restaurant next door and that's when we got excited because we were famished (I love Shanghai cuisine!)
The first thing that came was the Chicken & Cucumber Wide Glass Noodles mixed with sesame sauce. It was cool and refreshing making it a fantastic appetizer after a good swim at the beach. The sauce was exceptional because it was rich, creamy, and seasoned perfectly with strong sesame aromas. LOVE!
The sweet and sour soup is VERY spicy. For those who can't take spicy food, do not order this. But since I can take it, I find this a pretty nice soup compared to a lot of the ones I had before. It's not the best, but it had a lot of ingredients in it, lots of flavours, and it's not too overly sour.
The first impression I got when I saw the Steamed Dumplings arrive was that the skin was too thick--it probably wouldn't taste that great. HOWEVER, when I actually tried it, the skin was actually quite fine and the insides was bursting with soup. I was in heaven (or maybe I was just hungry) and yes, this is definitely worth a try because the meat tasted really juicy and delicious.
The Shanghai stir-fried noodles was the perfect ending to the whole meal. It had enough flavor but not too rich so that you'll get that "too-full-type-of-feeling", and my friends and I devoured the whole dish. Overall, even though I wasn't "literally" dining at this Shanghai's restaurant (I was sitting at the bar next door), I really enjoyed it. The price was average approximately $130/person so it wasn't too pricey, but most importantly, I didn't expect to find anything too special at Cyberport. I guess I was wrong, there's always hidden gems somewhere.
