Fairfield By Marriott Shanghai Hongqiao

A Chaoshan native, the chef sources items from his hometown, such as teal and sun-dried shrimps. Must-try classics include steamed fourfinger threadfin served chilled. Seasonal offerings embrace produce picked at the peak of its flavour. In summer, try the braised fish maw with chanterelles in a dried seafood broth, slow cooked for 5 hours and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. There are just five private rooms in this villa, so reservations are a must!

Brace yourself for nostalgia aplenty: velvet tufted chairs, walls covered in vintage blue bricks, art pieces from around the world…Most ingredients are shipped from Anhui, including mouldy tofu – a speciality you can’t miss. Wine-scented fermented mandarin fish is another classic slightly adapted to suit the local palate. The Anhui-style braised pork trotter in soybean paste is cooked in a 30-year-old marinade for exceptional depth and layered flavours. On top of the à la carte menu, you can also have one tailored in advanced.
