[iRecommend] Yanqing’s Shanghai Kitchen

Interview by Mavis Ang

Who swears by it: Jonathan Chia, Full-time National Serviceman

Great food and pretty waitresses at this Shanghainese restaurant scored well against Jonathan Chia’s checklist for a great eatery. “When I was in China, everything I ate made my stomach extremely upset. So it’s quite surprising that I actually love the food at this restaurant,” Jonathan commented. He also fell in love with its modern oriental décor, and the pretty waitresses, of course.

WHAT SETS THEIR DISHES APART FROM THE REST: “Unlike fish soups served at other Chinese restaurants, the Huang Yu (yellow fish) Soup here is very clear, not oily, and the fish’s sweetness is very distinct in the soup.”

SETS YOU BACK BY: At least $30 for their popular dishes. Like most Chinese restaurants, the size and prices of dishes vary depending on the number of people on the table.

WHY HE LIKES IT SO MUCH: When asked about the service at Yanqing’s Shanghai Kitchen, Jonathan’s reply: “Prompt, polite and sexy.”
