Zhong

Tucked inside a converted courtyard house, this tiny gem with seven tables has just a small sign on its door. Chef Zhong from Yangzhou is also your waiter and host. He opened this restaurant in 2020 to showcase his hometown’s delicacies. Try the wine lees-marinated cold appetiser platter with green soybeans, shrimps, duck tongues and abalone – addictively aromatic and refreshing. Sautéed shredded swamp eel boasts a bouncy, velvety texture.
