Jardin De Jade, Shanghai
Double A, Alex and Ada plus myself had dinner together after a busy day. February days were still cold in Shanghai but tolerable. Ada took us to a sumptuous restaurant, Jardin De Jade 蘇淅 at ChinAn District. I am not a person of spicy food. However, among all the dishes, the spicy beef was my favourite. The assimilation of chilly spice into the tender beef. Spice rose within the mouth, woke up the mind, the taste bud, pleased one's feeling. Great!
Shanghaiese food serves cold appetizers. Stick to the eating convention, we ordered spring onion chicken and smoked fish. Both served to delight us. Good job!
Deep fried shrimps, hmm, not as adorable as its cousin, river shrimps. Some left on the dish. Vegetable dishes were fine and light. Spicy soup, one serving was far too big for three of us, no matter how nice it was.
Fried juicy dumplings were a substitute of 生煎飽. Minced pork wrapped in flour pastry. A typical savory snack.
We were full but I insisted for sweet snacks, kinds of dessert in Chinese kitchen. Pumpkin-like steam pudding and date pudding ended the dinner with a delighted full stop. We were happy. Good night and hard work again tomorrow.
