达肥In Shanghai, the most anticipated thing, besides the wide variety of exhibitions, should be to eat at Michelin restaurants one by one. Tonight we came to Ming Court, which is located on the basement floor of the Langham Group Hotel. The menu cover introduces that the current head chef is Qian Lin. Although it was Sunday, when we arrived at 19:35, there was only one table of guests. The appetizer was chayote and small abalone, a small plate for each person, including children. Sour and sweet. The first dish was wild vegetable pomegranate fruit, which is usually not ordered because tofu skin is mostly made of thousand sheets of skin, with some symbolic carrot vermicelli and green vegetable shreds inside, or tofu buns with unknown contents like oden. The delicious tofu buns in my impression are in the Xuanling Pavilion Chinese Restaurant in Shenghe Mansion in Nanjing, which is half the size of Ming Court. The most special thing about this dish in Ming Court is that the bottom plate of tofu skin is dipped in cucumber juice and served, like an artistic gymnast who just came out of the water. The second dish is black pork barbecued pork, thickly cut, similar to Hong Kong street stalls, nothing special. The third dish was bitter melon and abalone. The fresh abalone was tender and soft, and although bitter melon was bitter, it did not cover the salty and fresh taste of the abalone. The fourth dish was steamed scallops with two flavors. The scallops decorated with garlic paste were padded with cucumbers, and the scallops decorated with black bean sauce were padded with bitter melons. The most popular dish on the table was the fifth dish, red wine flamed black pork. On the table, the round table rotated three times during the burning process, which took almost two minutes. During the burning process, the pork slices were roasted and oily, and the chicken mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms on the left and right gradually absorbed the oil. When the flame went out, the gravy and mushroom juice bloomed in the mouth together. The main dish was fried rice with bamboo shredded chicken. I don’t know what the name of the dish “baked bamboo shredded” means. The fried rice used black chicken, asparagus, and wolfberry. It was relatively light and matched with the XO sauce on the table. It was relatively dry overall, and the protein particles were distinct. If you don’t want to add sauce, the black pepper and beef fried rice at the same price should be more moist. When eating the main course, the waiter served a fish maw and shredded chicken soup, which is Ming Court's award-winning dish, and it seems to have lemongrass in it. After the soup was served, the children looked at the menu and the dessert of date paste and coconut milk cake was served. There were four in total, two of which were filled with fresh mango and two were filled with date paste. After paying the bill and leaving, we passed by a row of sunflowers. The waiter introduced that this row of flowers changes every Monday according to the season. It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when we finished eating, so we went to the First Outlet for a walk. Only Starbucks, Auntie An, and KFC were open. The TOMMY store was closing and no one was allowed to enter.

熊杰杰AlexWhen you come to Bulgari Shanghai, you have to try the Chinese restaurant "Bao Li Xuan" which has won two Michelin stars. It is located in the century-old Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce Building. Guests who come to the restaurant can feel the golden age of old Shanghai. When you enter the restaurant, the staff are very enthusiastic, and you can feel at home. You can enjoy meticulous and thoughtful service in Bao Li Xuan. When you make an appointment, you will receive a reservation SMS reminder, and you will call to confirm one day in advance. No matter which staff member you meet when you enter the restaurant, they will enthusiastically lead you to the meal, and will help you store your clothes and luggage before the meal. If the dishes are not finished, they will take the initiative to ask if you want to take them away! The restaurant focuses on exquisite Cantonese cuisine, and some dishes are cleverly adjusted according to the tastes of Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The restaurant pays attention to the seasonality and localization of ingredients. The dishes are not only elegant and exquisite, but also rich in taste. Its signature dishes include rose soy sauce chicken, abalone crisps, and Huadiao egg white steamed crab claws. Shanghai Bulgari Chinese Restaurant Bao Li Xuan is a distinctive restaurant, which is more suitable for people who pursue high-quality dining! I like it and will come again!
