Lulu- Yummy Shanghainese Dinner

12/20/2016

0 Comments

 

Lu Lu Restaurant is the first branch in Hong Kong of the reputable Shanghai restaurant chain, adding to the several outlets in Shanghai and Beijing with over 20 years' experience in Shanghainese recipes. Best known for its signature crabmeat and roe delicacies, all the ingredients the talented head chef (assigned by the main restaurant in ShanghaI) uses are a combination of fresh ingredients specially imported from Shanghai. Based on Hong Kong Tatler, Lulu ranks as number 3 out of the many prestigious contenders for Shanghainese Restaurants in Hong Kong. Over the past year, Lu Lu has become a family favorite, and within a few months, we managed to visit 3-4 times.

Everytime we eat in Lulu, we order a wide variety of dishes in the middle to share between people. Below are some photos I've taken of the dishes we tried out. Excuse the poor quality photos....I can never get the Chinese-cuisine delectable-looking with my iPhone camera. But they taste so better than they look. 
But my favorite three dishes had to be the Drunken Chicken, the Chicken Noodle Soup and the Stir-Fried Sticky Rice Cake with Pork and Vegetables.

The Drunken Chicken is delightful. The rice wine flavor is present, but not to the point where it is overwhelming. The chicken itself is tender fresh and cool. The cold slimy texture combined with the distinct aromatic rice wine really gives this dish a special kick. 
If you visit Lulu and you don't try the Chicken Noodle Soup, you are making a huge mistake. The soup is creamy and rich with flavour of chicken and Chinese vegetables. The noodles are also creamy and chewy, with the sweetness of the dough. Delicious...

Finally, a Shanghainese favorite: Fried Sticky Rice Cake with Pork and Vegetables. Again, Lulu has outdone itself in this exquisite dish. The delectable chewiness of the oval-shaped noodles is addicting, but what makes it even finer is pickled vegetables and shredded pork. The dish itself is not too greasy and oily, unlike many other variations, which is definitely a plus. Also, it tastes very simple, but yet like comfort food: not too salty, but with the right kick of flavors to get your taste buds going.
