上海天龍樓

Once upon a time there was a fishing village in Southern Hong Kong. Hardworking fishermen would rise early every morning to catch the freshest produce — fish, clams, sea urchins, you name it ! And dedicated little eateries would take these fresh seafood and create the freshest morsels your imagination can conjure — fish balls, noodles, crispy fried fish skin, you name it. Years have passed and this early settlement still remains one of the best seafood ports and places for good old fashioned food in Hong Kong.
But today, we’re not actually going to talk about that.
Also situated in Aberdeen is this low key Shanghai eatery. The standards that you apply at glossy high end Shanghaiese restaurants DO NOT apply here, there is nothing glamorous here; this is old-​fashioned down-​to-​earth cooking with a wide selection of seasonal dishes.
Good? No doubt.
Some examples. Their xiaolongbun is made in the shop and best eaten hot! You’ll be disappointed if you’ll looking for Din Tai Fung style thin skin though. What they have here is thick floury chewy skin with the freshly steamed aromas that bring you straight back to your childhood Shanghai days, if you had that (I don’t) The filling is just as meaty and succulent as most. Time to appreciate different shapes and sizes.
If you’re not too adamant on tiny delicate details, Teen Long Lao 天龍樓 will bring the Shanghai back in you with their no fuss good old fashioned food.
