10 Shanghai

10 Shanghai, located in the trendy Lee Gardens mall in Causeway Bay, is a welcome new addition to the local dining scene. This large and spacious restaurant specialises in Huaiyang cuisine, which encompasses cooking styles from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, along the Yangtze River, and is known for meticulous preparation and refined presentation of its dishes. That is amply demonstrated at 10 Shanghai, an elegantly decorated restaurant featuring Chinese-style setting with a contemporary touch; we especially like the classical moon-gate design that frames the dining area.

We sampled a slate of the restaurant’s signature dishes. Our cold starters were: Aged Shaoxing Huadiao-brined Chicken ($88), Sliced Crunchy Cucumber Served with Sesame Sauce ($68), and Smoked Soft-boiled Eggs with Black Truffle Pearl ($48/2 pieces). The hot dishes include Dongpo’s Pork Pagoda with Dried Shanghainese Cabbage ($238), served with Chinese pancakes – a real visual gem; Crispy Lobster Pastry & Silky Turnip ($168/2 pieces); Pan-fried Xiao Long Bao ($60/4 pieces) – an original and delicious rendition; and Scallion Oil Noodle with Abalone ($98/person). We added Jiangsu River Shrimp sautéed with Crab Roe ($298), a classic Shanghainese dish, and for dessert, Glutinous Dumplings in Fermented Rice Soup ($42/person) to our sampling to round out a most satisfying meal.

Serving excellent food at reasonable prices, 10 Shanghai more than met our expectations. Be sure to give it a try.
