Favourite old Shanghai Restaurant in Shanghai

Shanghai has a lot of great restaurants. However, I particularly like Jes Se Old Shanghai Restaurant at 41, Tian Ping Road in Shanghai. (Tel : 0086 6282 9260) This is my 1st choice in Shanghai if we have enough time for a great feast! Normally, you need to have at least 2 days advanced booking as the restaurant does not have many tables.

It serves the most authentic Shanghainese food and you just want for more. However, got to warn you guys that Shanghainese food is very sweet and used a lot of brown and white liquer in their cooking.

Just to highlight a few of their specialities:

Raw crab in brown liquer. Not many of u will dare to try this dish but it is one of my favourite. The meat is so sweet and succumb into the brown liquer! Yummy!!!

Sweet dried beancurd.

Stewed spare ribs. But also sweet!

Red dates stuffed with glutinous rice! My favourite too. Yummy.

Highlight of the day! Smelly beancurd wrapped with beancurd skin and deep fried. This is really great and totally different from Hong Kong style. Really stink!!! but great taste with chilli sauce. Haha!!!!!

U hardly see prawns in that size in China. So better enjoy them.

Stewed pork. Sweet and nice.

Not too sure what kind of crabs, but tasted ok! Tasted like our marmite sauce but it is not.

 My favourite soup in Shanghai. Chicken fish with seafood soup and this is not colouring. This fish will dispose of the creamy stuff into the soup. Authentic!

Shi fish is a very river fish and very expensive. Again, this place has perfected it! U just enjoy this without question!

This restaurant has a lot more great dishes and I have introduced their specialities but I will be going back for more! So happy trying.

Pricing is a bit high cos U the place is flooded by Hong Kongers and food lovers like me! Haha. So enjoy.
