This is authentic Shanghai cuisine. I say it because I grew up eating Shanghai food prepared in an…read moreold fashion. It is rare because in this modern era, many chefs have given in the tradition to the fusion world that caters the preference of a different generation. The truth is that while my eyes are so pleased by the so call fusion on my dishes, my taste buds are angry. Call me nostalgic. I do miss the flavor simmered in an old fashion way. Gladly, I am in Hong Kong, and I am treating my taste buds with respect at Lao Shang Hai Restaurant. Although the restaurant itself looks rather ordinary and senior server waited on me in such a snobbish tune, I find these all a totally old fashion Shanghai style. I can't help but to indulge myself into a nostalgic moment. Despite the suggestion of ordering the seasonal hairy crab dishes, I went straight to the "braised eel with garlic in dark soy sauce" and "grass tips in Chinese rice wine". Both dishes are inexpensive and straight forward old fashion. The striped eel are quickly stir fried in a ginger-garlic flavored hot oil; then pour in a gush of Shao Xing rice wine to bust out the flavor; add couple tablespoon of dark soy sauce and a pinch of sugar; cover and simmer for few minutes; sprinkle a handful chopped green onion on top of the ell and pour the sizzling hot oil on the dish before serving. The vegetable dish is even simpler. Fresh grass tips, extremely hot oil, and Chinese rice wine with 70% alcohol. After a short stir fry, it is done. The old fashion emphasis on the color, fragrance, and taste. Both dishes have accomplished these goals. The reason I choose these two dishes is because the simplicity hides no flaws. Simple color and uncontaminated flavor are the tradition that will never be out of fashion.

Xiaolongbao soup dumplings were excellent, sooo juicy, a mite bigger than Ding Tai Fung and the meat is a little softer. (So nice to have the luxury to compare!) The fried chicken half was fantastic, juicy and tender with some crispy skin. Makes me hungry just to think about it now. The Shanghai bread roll went well with it, as well as the rice. Tofu and veggie greens were also great. Of course beer to match, they have large bottles. Oh I forgot, they give you these Shanghai salted peanuts while waiting. Wonderful. We always eat it all and they always refill.

The front door does not have signs, and it is easy to miss the entrance door. We sat down quickly and ordered shredded chicken with curry mince meat scramble eggs on instant noodle, deep fry siu mah, and scallion scramble egg sandwiches. No surprise, they all taste good! I especially like the sandwiches. If you know the owner well, he will get you something special (omakase set). The owner is talkative and always check to make sure the food is good. Highly recommended this canteen!

Pan-fried Red Cargo Rice-roll w/ Shrimp (脆網紅米腸) is their signature dim sum. It's bouncy shrimps wrapped with a deep-fried, crunch layer and a slice of silly red sheet. This combination of different textures is interesting. If you're bored of having traditional Shrimp Rice Roll (蝦腸), this will be a good alternative! Location wise, it'll be quite inconvenient for patrons who come by MTR. It's an about 20 minute walking distance from Kowloon Bay MTR Station to the restaurant. To avoid the walk, you can take free shuttles that run between Telford Mall and MegaBox Mall. MegaBox Mall is right opposite to Chung's Cuisine where you can check it out before/after the meal.

I had intended to visit here when I stayed in 2024, but wasn't able to. I was finally able to on my final day of my Asia trip, before taking the bus to the airport. I liked the interior design of this place, with lots of resemblance of HK street life, as well as a MTR-like map that mixes actual Tuen Ma Line stations with popular HK style cafe items. I had the satay beef instant noodles with scrambled egg and toast. It was good! The satay had a flavourful taste, and the scrambled egg was exactly how it should be: layered and relatively smooth. Service was efficient here. I definitely prefer this place over the two HK style cafes down the road closer to the hotel.
