Give Mom a Traditional Jiangsu Cuisine

After taking my mother to the staycation, I took her to a good Chinese restaurant for a perfect meal. Location: We took a boat from Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, and then walked slowly to SQUARE International Plaza, which took fifteen minutes. Environment: The area is quite large, with a large circle of blue wall separating the shop and the shopping mall. The decoration and furnishings are very unique. Unlike traditional teahouses, it has an industrial style and is divided into left and right areas. One of the walls is inlaid with a large blackboard with the store name and special dishes painted with white chalk, which has a very artistic atmosphere. The seats are arranged with multiple large round tables, two-person tables and four-person booths, which are sparse and not crowded. It is a very comfortable and stylish environment. Service: You will be seated by the staff, tea will be served quickly, and orders will be taken. Each person will be charged $3 for tea and a service fee. Lunch: We offer set meals and hand-pulled noodles, and you can also pay extra for different drinks and food at reasonable prices. 🧇Appetizer: Four small dishes $108 It consists of Zhenjiang spare ribs, roasted gluten, braised bamboo shoots and Zhenjiang Yaorou. The overall portion is normal. It is my first time to eat Zhenjiang Yaorou, a traditional specialty of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. The meat is pink in color and the skin is white. The jelly is transparent, like crystal, also known as crystal Yaorou. There is no pork smell at all when you put it in your mouth. It doesn't feel like eating pig's trotters at all. It has a cool and soft texture, a bit like eating jelly, and the taste is elegant. The sauce of bamboo shoots and roasted gluten is quite tasty and soft in texture. The spare ribs are sweet and sour and appetizing, making them a great appetizer. 🥢Main course: "Honey Sauce Hot Pot" $112 This is also a traditional Zhejiang specialty, consisting of Jinhua ham, cucumber, crispy bean curd and slices of white steamed buns. The restaurant pours osmanthus honey on the ham and wraps a slice of ham, crispy bean curd and cucumber in a steamed bun. It is sweet, salty, crispy and crunchy. It is a high-quality dish at an affordable price, and is definitely worth a try. 🥢Chicken and Mushroom Noodle Soup🍜 $72 This main dish was rather lackluster, with the taste and texture being just like an ordinary bowl of bland noodle soup. We ordered it because we were worried we wouldn’t be full, but in fact, handmade dishes are worth a try. 🥢Hand-cut beef buns with scallions (comes with meal) This snack is more delicious than the main dish. Although it is not juicy enough, it has a strong beef flavor, a solid texture, and plenty of meat filling, but lacks the scallion flavor. 🥢336 Shanghai Xiaolongbao $38 I think this is more cost-effective than Din Tai Fung's xiao long bao. First of all, it is larger in appearance, with thin skin and lots of soup. The soup can fill a spoon. First, take a sip of the delicious soup, then bite open the skin to taste the rich meat flavor. If you dip it in sour Zhenjiang vinegar and shredded ginger, it will be even more delicious! 🥢Dessert: Gaoli Bean Paste $48 This is a dessert that everyone orders when eating Shanghai cuisine. One portion contains four servings. Each egg white is beaten until it swells, then filled with red bean paste. It tastes eggy and sweet, not bad! We had a lot of homemade dishes at this meal, which were definitely not home-cooked. It allowed me to get to know China’s famous dishes, and the prices were reasonable, which was a great reward for my mother.
