宝塔酒店 上海百霞

餐厅

As well as noodles, this unstuffy stall serves Wuxi dishes and dim sum. Must-tries include noodle soup or scallion oil-dressed noodles with Wuxi-style pork ribs braised in soy paste – the fall-off-the-bone ribs are loaded in flavour. “Three-white” big wontons with white fish, white shrimp and whitebait filling burst with rich umami, while Sichuan pepper in the dip adds contrast. Dim sum like xiao long bao and yu lan cake are worth the wait.

The no-frills space is dotted with Pu'er tea bricks and tea cakes, blue tie-dyed tablecloths as well; the style of service is equally simple. The team use mushrooms and herbs extensively in cooking inspired by ethnic Dai tradition. Slow-cooked for at least five hours, the flavoursome beef broth warms the heart and soul. In mushroom season, don't miss dishes such as sautéed porcini and chanterelles with green chilli. Try the rice noodles with savoury tofu pudding, too.
