Restaurant
Xiguan Zhuyuan (Shiba Fu)
Still going strong after 30+ years, this branch may lack the views of its Lizhiwan counterpart, but the food tastes just as good. Springy duck egg noodles are made in its Lizhiwan factory, blanched à la minute and tossed either in shrimp roe or in a flavourful broth made with dried plaice, pork bones and dried shrimp. Don't miss the beef offal soup – the thinly sliced organ meats are rid of any odd taste and boast velvety textures.
Michelin's Bib Gourmand marks good quality meals at moderate prices, focusing on value without star-level prestige.
