Mei LongZhen Restaurant (Main Branch)

The main branch of the Meilong Town Restaurant on Nanjing West Road is the unchanging sentiment of the old Shanghainese. The traditional dishes have been passed down from generation to generation. Although the chefs have changed, the cuisine has been preserved and has become the favorite of the old Shanghainese. The archway at the door is also in traditional style. Located in the city center, it welcomes diners from all over the country. The taste of various dishes will make you linger. The environment in the restaurant is also traditional, and the service is very thoughtful and meticulous. I have to eat there every time I go to Shanghai.

In addition to some drinks, there are fruit platters, rice flowers, and dried fruits such as melon seeds, pistachios, squid tentacles, fish fillets, bayberries, banana chips, etc. It's awesome.

This is an old hotel in Shanghai, located in a small alley opposite Meilong Town Square on Nanjing West Road. If you don't look carefully, it's hard to find because there's only a sign outside. It has been standing here for more than 80 years. This red brick building is antique. I didn't go inside, but I could tell it's doing good business by looking at the parking lot outside. I'll definitely go there to eat if I get the chance in the future.

Meilong Town is an old restaurant that I must visit when I go to Shanghai. Before liberation, it was the place where the underground party held activities. The current Shanghai-style Sichuan cuisine is also the result of the bold innovation of Ms. Wu Mei of Meilong Town who invited the Huaiyang cuisine master Shen Zifang to innovate the integration of Sichuan and Yangzhou cuisine, thus the Shanghai-style cuisine was born. There are so many stories about Nanjing West Road. Check in Meilong Town and feel that a good life comes from faith. How worthwhile. Once, I had a meeting and time was too tight, so I asked a picky friend to wait for a table. She was not familiar with Meilong Town, so she looked at the dishes for a while and praised every dish. I have to say that Meilong Town Nanjing West Road Store is a strong brand.

I put foie gras on the cover because I haven't eaten something so smooth and tender for a long time! The process of serving the dishes is step by step! The dumplings are served so early because the dinner starts late, so everyone can drink as much as they want! You said you can't leave the city this summer, so you can only eat like this! Check out the delicacies of the city you live in slowly! Fried crab roe and crab roe shark fin are both good! The dumplings are very typical Shanghai dim sum! [Taste] [Environment] [Service]

Meals [Gold Medal Vegetarian Ham] 28 A vegetarian dish with a meaty name, this signature dish is rich in flavor but not spectacular, and is quite average. [Dry-Braised King Prawns] 148/piece The prawns are large and fresh. The dry-braised sauce is rich in ingredients, and the tomato sauce is thick. The whole prawn is well-wrapped and flavorful, demonstrating the chef's skill. [Rich Fish with Noodles] 225 It can be used as a side dish or a main course. The fish is large and served whole. The toppings are particularly exquisite, and the fish meat falls apart with a flick of the brush, demonstrating the meticulous attention to detail. Eating it with noodles is incredibly satisfying. [Big Sea Cucumber with Shrimp and Roe] 328 The sea cucumber is perfectly cooked, with a rich, chewy texture and a delicious taste, leaving you wanting more. [Crab Roe and Tendon] 100 The fresh aroma of crab roe fills the entire plate. The portion is generous, and the tendon is soft and dense, almost slurping it up in one sip. It's incredibly delicious when slurped with a spoon. [Clay Pot Fish Head] 128 The red broth features an incredibly large fish head, estimated to weigh over two pounds. The meat is so rich it almost rivals the body, especially the cheeks, which are incredibly flavorful. [Shepherd's Purse and Winter Bamboo Shoots] 68 The vibrant white and green colors are incredibly appetizing. The fragrant shepherd's purse paired with the crispy winter bamboo shoots is incredibly delicious. [Date Paste Pancake] 30 A signature dessert, delicate date paste is embedded in a crispy, glutinous pancake. Simply delicious.
