Shanghai Garden

Hutchinson House (1st floor), Murray Rd., Central Cuisines: Chinese, Asian

About

This upscale restaurant (part of the Maxim's group of restaurants) does a good job in presentation and cuisine. Since Shanghai does not have its own cuisine, the dishes served here are from Peking, Nanking, Sichuan, Hangchow, and Wuxi. The menu is extensive, including bird's nest and chicken soup or shark's-fin soup, such cold dishes as sautéed eel, and such main courses as sautéed prawns, beggar's chicken (which costs HK$350/US$45/£23 and must be ordered in advance), sautéed beef with spring onion, braised pig with vegetables, fried noodles Shanghai-style, and Peking duck (HK$320/US$42/£21). This place, pleasantly and soothingly decorated, does a roaring business, especially for lunch, when it also serves dim sum.
