Whenever we go to One Peking, the swanky building across Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui that houses some of the world’s top designer brands, we always eat in Hutong or Aqua Tokyo. Finally we got to try a restaurant at the 10th floor called Xiao Nan Guo Premier.
Just like other restaurants in the building, they took full advantage of the marvelous view of the Hong Kong harbour. 
We were given a private room for our big group at no extra cost. In Hutong their prime tables commanded a minimum tab of at least HK$2,500. 
It was a very posh restaurant. 
The black chopsticks were for eating with while the beige chopsticks were for getting food. 
Simply sautéed river shrimps are a Shanghainese specialty. However these were just ok. They lacked the flavor and crispness of Wu Kong’s shrimps.

The beef was awesome! It was very tender and the flavor was superb. It was the best dish we had.

This is a common salad found in Shanghainese restaurants but this was the first time I had it with lettuce. Usually it just had clear noodles and shredded chicken. I liked it even better this way. Their sesame dressing was thick, a bit sweet and so nutty. Perfection! 
shredded chicken, clear noodles & sesame dressing HK$68
The food headed downhill from here. The pork was bland and a bit tough. It didn’t taste as good as it looks in the picture. Most of the dishes were placed on top of food warmers. Nice touch!

The signature noodles were dry and again, bland.

The hairy crab roe cream was delicious but it needed a generous splash of soy sauce. The rice below had a nice toasted crunch at the bottom.

I didn’t like the signature fried rice either. It was topped with cubes of marinated and mildly spicy tofu cubes. Nothing great about it. These three signature dishes were prominently photographed in their menu that’s why we ordered them only to be disappointed. It was a good thing we only ordered a bowl each for everyone to share.

I didn’t try the xiao long bao but the kids devoured them quickly so I guess they were good. 
xiao long bao, 3 pcs. for HK$36
Both of the veggies were good though. It would be hard to massacre vegetables right? 
wok-fried spicy string beans & minced pork HK$88
If you want to eat Chinese food in a beautiful ambiance with first class service and prices to match then this is the place to go to.
But if you want to eat fantastic Shanghainese food in a restaurant with NO view and decent prices then do yourself a favor and run to Wu Kong. No if or buts about it.
