Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
Visited August 27, 2005
Conveniently located at the mezzanine of the World Trade Center in one of Hong Kong's busiest areas, Shanghai Mian is a destination for those looking for a tasty, reasonably priced Chinese food fix to refuel after a day of shopping. The menu is extensive and most dishes are in the HK$45-$150 range.
We ordered the minced duck sauteed with pinenuts, shallots and minced peppers. This was quite filling especially since it came with four pieces of complimentary pita pockets. Last time I ordered this dish its flavorful aromas enticed the diners at the next table into ordering the same.
We also had the roasted chicken, which was succulent with beautiful tender skin. In true Chinese style, this came complete with the severed head (ackkk) glaring balefully at us. We turned the head away from us and proceeded to devour the rest. Perfect with a bowl of steamed rice.
Service was good--they didn't hurry us too much despite that we lingered over lunch and it was close to 3 o'clock when we finished.
Enjoyable and dependable--Would go back whenever I need a Chinese/Shanghainese food fix.
