Recently, several chefs from The Eton Hotel Shanghai came over to One World Hotel to showcase authentic Shanghainese dishes for a limited 10 days only. The most attractive dish of all had to go to the Braised Whole Eel with Soya Sauce. The flesh was soft and flavourful but the taste was plain.

The first dish was Three Shanghai Style Appetizer, consisted of Deep Fried Prawn Shanghai Style, Spicy Pomfret and Preserved Bean Curd with Black Fungus.

The safest appetizer among of three was Spicy Pomfret.

We were served Hot and Sour Soup Shanghai Style, a thick and smooth broth of black fungus, mushroom, ginger and egg white that was sour and strong with ginger flavour.

Next was the Sauteed Shredded Beef with Pepper which was extremely soft, almost like the texture of bean curd when placed on the palate. Taste this and you won't know it's beef, trust me.

The Braised Chicken with Potato, simply yet delicious to go with a bowl of white rice. The chicken meat was tender and smooth but the potatoes were really the star for absorbing the gorgeous flavours of the gravy within. However, I found the gravy tasteless and plain.

Vegetable - Sauteed Scallop with ‘Bok Choy’ and Mushroom. This was nicely presented with huge scallops, juicy mushrooms and sweet vegetables. Nothing to shout about, just refer to the picture.

The Steamed Vegetable Dumpling was generously packed with vegetables that gave it a nice crunch when bitten into. Thumbs up!

Finally for something sweet, we had the Eight Treasures Congee that consisted of red dates, rice, lotus seed, mung beans and kei chi among others. Served cold, I found this very different from the typical desserts due to the presence of rice in it. It was not overly sweet but rather heavy as a dessert dish.

@tekkaus, actually the music is outside. Can still hear it, but i don't think the music is the highlight here.
