*Sea Cucumber & Pork Tendons with Shrimp Egg anyone? Try the flaky turnip pastry, sweet crispy eel, marvelous Shanghai noodles with seafood, or starchy rice cake with squid, shrimp, and scallion. Torrid Sichuan-peppered prawns are a must.
If you came last year, then we know the interim 364 days has been Hell. No Chinese long beans in garlic sauce. No ginger beef. This shall be rectified and the world will be right again.
