New Shanghai

Because New Shanghai is located in the Hong Kong Convention Centre, the assumption is that it only really suitable for business lunches. This is in fact not correct, as I very much enjoy going there for regular lunches as well as dinners. Sure, during conventions, the lunchtime can be very very busy, just come in the evening when it’s a little bit quieter.
The restaurant serves food that is very similar to Din Tai Fung, with dishes like; xiao long bao dumplings, cucumber with chilli, drunken chicken, home-​made dan-​dan noodles, rice with salted egg. However, the food is just that little bit better than Din Tai Fung. Yes, it is more expensive, but the combination of the ambience in the restaurant and the excellent food, make it worth the additional cost.
The restaurant itself is spacious, and they have not tried to cram too many tables into the space. It is very tastefully decorated using plush fabrics and sturdy furniture, all with a traditional Chinese design. The staff are very courteous and efficient, gliding smartly between tables without screaming the house down, as is so common with Chinese restaurants.
If you do fancy some very good Shanghainese food, I would thoroughly recommend that you come here. Make sure that you book a table though, as mentioned before, it can get very busy, and the opening hours are a little «traditional» in that the restaurant closes mid afternoon.
