抵達上海之前，先搞定位子
大概一二個月前就超前部署
雖然不知道好不好訂，只停三天必須吃到🤟

我只能說服務，真的非常非常的好
菜色有一定的水準，值得一試
此行一大一小，打包不少哈哈

菜的份量由少至多，非常喜歡這樣的彈性
一位/一例/一份（有些可單個）
因為我都想點很多，但又吃不下

✅小菜水果杏仁片，普通
杏仁片沒有傳說中的頂
可能台灣也太多力害的糕點

✅富貴溏心蝦
我不大吃生食，但新鮮不腥裡面溏心
肉質Q用皮皮蝦，除了時價沒毛病

✅乳鴿（以隻算）我們一開二半
熱新鮮但有試即可，不用一人一隻

✅蜜汁紅薯，店員說甜可前上或後上
我前上，對我不算太甜（平常吃太多甜點）
他的甜裡面是還有帶蜂蜜的香氣還不錯

✅醺魚腩，脆味道甜酥口感好但吃不多

✅煎白帶魚，酥香和魚腩可擇一
都是展現同功夫的品項

✅招牌骨仔，用太湖黑毛豬
超級咸！要配飯或拿掉一個腎
肉質裡面是嫩的，但是外面會乾

✅紅糖年糕，口感好紅糖也感覺有層次

✅家燒鯧魚，非常新鮮
在大陸常常吃到有土味的魚，超級可怕
湯汁竟然有小時候阿嬤的味道，哈哈哈
回台灣多賺一點錢再來點黃魚

✅蚵仔芋頭飯，裡面是像臘味飯的米粒挺香
至少蚵仔小小的，太大我又想吐了

❤️不尖叫都對不起「松露鵝肝包」
真的是太太太太太太太好吃
表皮好酥，而且裡面好綿像枕頭
還有一塊不小的肝

✅沙蒜豆面，我不要加辣
味道我覺得普通，可點可不點

✅麥餅（台州的卡殺滴牙）
味道是細的皮是薄的，裡面是蛋和火腿
吃不飽的人推薦一定要來一份
我只吃了半片其他打包哈哈

✅雞頭米（甜湯）喜歡
桂花的清湯配上雞頭米QQ的口感像蓮子
很適合在現在寒冷的上海暖暖身

❤️慶生一定要來因為有禮物還有桌上的佈置
收到了一條手打年糕杏仁片和一隻熊貓
超級可愛的覺得很很棒的體驗

❤️打包盒也是用樂扣那種塑膠的並非紙盒

🤝這樣的餐廳和體驗是非常好的
上海總共有六家，我還有五次的機會哈

Before arriving in Shanghai, find your place first
It was deployed in advance about one or two months ago.
Although I don’t know if it’s easy to order it, it’s only available for three days and you must eat it🤟

All I can say is that the service is really, really good.
The dishes are of a certain standard and worth a try
This trip involves a large group and a small one, so there is a lot to pack, haha

The portions of the dishes range from small to large, and I really like the flexibility.
One person/one case/one serving (some can be single)
Because I want to order a lot, but I can’t eat it

✅Side dish, fruit and almond slices, ordinary
Sliced ​​almonds don’t have the legendary topping
Maybe Taiwan also has too many delicious pastries.

✅Rich Soggy Shrimp
I don’t eat much raw food, but it’s fresh and not fishy, ​​but it’s not spicy in the inside.
Meat quality Q uses Pippi shrimp, there is nothing wrong except the current price

✅Squabs (counted as pigeons), we opened the game in two and a half
Hot and fresh, just try it, no need to have one per person

✅Honey sweet potatoes, the store clerk said they can be served front or back if they are sweet.
I'll go ahead, it's not too sweet for me (I usually eat too many desserts)
It's sweet and has a nice aroma of honey inside.

✅Stir-fried fish belly, crispy, sweet and tasty, but not much to eat

✅ Pan-fried white hairtail fish, choose between crispy and fish belly
They are all items that demonstrate the same skill.

✅Signature bone bone, made from Taihu black pig
Super salty! Have to eat or take out a kidney
The meat is tender on the inside but dry on the outside

✅Brown sugar rice cake, it tastes good and the brown sugar also feels layered

✅Home-roasted pomfret, very fresh
In mainland China, we often eat fish that tastes earthy, which is super scary
The soup actually tastes like my grandma’s when I was a kid, hahaha
Go back to Taiwan to make more money and buy some yellow croaker

✅Oyster and taro rice, the rice grains inside are like cured rice and are very fragrant
At least the oysters are small. If they are too big, I feel like vomiting again.

❤️I'm sorry if I don't scream "Truffle Foie Gras Bun"
It’s so delicious. It’s so delicious.
The outside is so crispy and the inside is so soft like a pillow
There is also a large piece of liver

✅Sauce and garlic bean noodles, I don’t want to add spicy food
I think the taste is average, I can order it or not.

✅Wheat cake (Taizhou Kasha Diya)
The taste is delicate, the skin is thin, and there are eggs and ham inside.
Recommended for those who are not full to eat.
I only ate half a slice and the others were packed haha

✅Chicken head rice (sweet soup) like
The sweet-scented osmanthus soup tastes like lotus seeds when paired with chicken head rice.
Very suitable for warming up in the current cold Shanghai

❤️You must come here to celebrate your birthday because there are gifts and table decorations
I received a hand-made rice cake, sliced ​​almonds and a panda.
Super cute and thought it was a great experience

❤️The packaging box is also made of plastic like Lock, not a paper box

🤝This kind of restaurant and experience is very good
There are six in total in Shanghai, and I still have five more chances.

極差的體驗，服務生每個人都臉很臭，說要點飲料說了當作沒聽到，過了20分鐘又說一次才送上，每道菜介紹很隨便又小聲，只有靠近的人聽到，白帶魚超級鹹，連上海在地的同事都覺得鹹，最後退了這道菜的錢，但整體用餐經驗還是很差，沒有比較沒有傷害，前一天去黃魚館價位沒有那麼高但是體驗好多了，吃了一萬多人民幣也不是小數目，上海同事介紹說是上海最具代表性的餐廳，搞得他們也有點尷尬，下次不可能再回訪。

An extremely bad experience. Every waiter had a bad look on his face. He said he wanted a drink and pretended he didn't hear it. He said it again after 20 minutes before it was served. Each dish was introduced casually and in a low voice. Only those who were close could hear it. Yes, the white hairtail fish is super salty. Even my local colleagues in Shanghai thought it was salty. In the end, I refunded the money for this dish. However, the overall dining experience was still very poor. There is no harm in not comparing. The price of the yellow croaker restaurant the day before was not that high, but the experience was good. It's much better. It's not a small sum to eat more than 10,000 yuan. My colleagues in Shanghai introduced it as the most representative restaurant in Shanghai, which made them a little embarrassed and they won't be able to visit again next time.

去餐厅之前就定好了菜单，是抱着不会踩雷的心态去的，因为无论菜品有多惊艳，这个餐厅的价格都不会让你感觉到还会有什么惊喜。可是，海鲜的鱼是柴的、服务员的脸是冷的、餐厅的整体装修氛围是对不起米其林这三个字的……所以，米其林，也不是以前的米其林了。

You have decided on the menu before going to the restaurant, and you go there with the mentality of not stepping into any surprises, because no matter how amazing the dishes are, the price of this restaurant will not make you feel that there will be any surprises. However, the fish in the seafood is wood-fired, the waiter’s face is cold, and the overall decoration atmosphere of the restaurant is worthy of the word Michelin... Therefore, Michelin is no longer the Michelin it used to be.

The taste can be bad and the service is bad. If you want service, run quickly.
