Yongfoo Elite, Shanghai

Working late, colleagues were waiting for me for dinner. No idea of where to go and it turned out a very nice place with exquisite decor recalling the old days in Shanghai. Yong Foo Elite, brings you back to 1930s, luxury and indulgence. Sumptuous food, Chinese singing 崑曲. What a wonderful night!



A colleague is a member to this club and so were we there, a privilege.  The appetizers confirmed that the restaurant as a good one.  Cold pork with chestnut,  Roman lettuce with a soy wasabi dressing, refreshing yet a modern chic. Shanghaiese and fusion, a good start and excellent impression.


River shrimps, simple but delicate. The taste still lingers as I am writing about it more than a month later.   Sweet and sour fish cooked with pine nut, unforgettable.  I was full but could not resist to take a bite after the other.  So good!  Beef ribs cooked western way in a creamy sauce, were tender and juicy.


Sashimi, two kinds of raw fish, served with radish and cucumber, was wonderful.  None was left.  Clean dish!  Steamed chicken, favoured and tender.  Spring rolls, not oily at all. Crispy surface with vegetable stripes, not adding fullness though at the end of the meal.

Seafood soup, good taste and comfort.  Dry scallop, prawn, fish, cabbage added the dinner to another level of enjoyment.
