i ate so much when i was in china. the meal at shanghai xiao nan guo wasnt my most expensive or fanciest meal I had when i was in beijing, but it was def my FAVE one!
decoration is on minimalistic side. i liked the ambience a lot, very clean, spacious, elegant, and quiet. shanghai xiao nan guo offers shanghai classics. its a very well managed chain from shanghai and consistently delivers fresh and delicious Shanghai cuisine and quick friendly professional service. one of my fave spots in town for shanghai cuisine.
we ordered a lot for just 2 people cuz i freaking wanted EVERYTHING!
soup made from lotus roots
lotus roots

real chicken soup
noodles with scallion flavored oil, loved it
soup dumplings
meatball soup

Thanks for dropping by. I love your food shots. While I don’t mind using the big DSLR, I’ve been getting some pretty nice shots lately with a Canon G11 on macro. Got hungry looking at your pics of the juicy dumplings. Will be home soon and they are on my list.
