Hong Kong Lao Shang Hai Restaurant Ltd. — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

This is one of my favorite shanghai cuisine in Hong Kong. Smoke eggs, pan fried dumpling and marinated jelly fish are all must ordered item. Shanghai style vege and sliced pork fry rice cake is perfectly cooked. The best dessert from the hidden menu which only reserved for loyal customers like me~ haha. That is “caramelized deep fry banana” ! 😋 I usually bring 2 pieces of banana 🍌🍌. And the chef will tailor made and deep fry for me.

This is a great place for Shanghai gourmet. The food is very authentic and well seasoned and good thing is don't feel any major MSG. The cold dishes are all yummy and much bigger than expected. The braised pork was a must try and this dish is very reasonably priced with the time and effort that it needs to be out in too. The only dish that may need a bit of improvement is the turnip cake which if more layers and ligjter will be better. The service here is really very sweet, when we found we ordered too much, they were very willing to cancel for us without any question asked. The only thing is it is a bit overcrowded, maybe because it's popularity too but would be better if tables can be spared out a bit especially in the...
