Art Salon Restaurant, Shanghai


My cousin's colleague recommended this very interesting restaurant - Art Salon. It's apparently owned by an artist whose paintings grace the walls. He also handpicked everything in the restaurant, from the tables and chairs to the chopsticks and bowls. Everything is available for purchase.



According to my cousin's colleague, A, the food served here is very authentic Shanghainese. Many of the dishes are actually what her grandmother cooks for her. She recommended trying this interesting tofu dish ... served with their own brewed soya sauce (it seems that the Shanghainese make their own soya sauce rather than buying it off the shelf), and tiny river prawns ... delish!



Cold chicken dish ...


Green bean mashed with salted egg yolks ...



Fried beef ...



Tang Chu Fish ... yum!


Braised pork with egg and squid ... yum! yum!


Stir fried veggies ...


We've been to a few Shanghainese restaurants, but this one really fascinated me. It had so much character, and the food not only looked interesting, but tasted really good as well! I'm fully intending to bring my hubby and other guests here :)
