1924 SHANGHAI RESTAURANT 98, WuQuan West 3rd St. moved to: 123, WuQuan West 3rd St. Tel: (04) 2378-3181

This restaurant is decorated to look and feel like it is right out of old Shanghai. There are old photographs lining the walls and an antique clock with a distinctive "tick-tock" sound that must be wound by hand every day. Of course, Shanghai cuisine is served. The chef of this restaurant has researched this cuisine for a number of years and his specialty is tung-po pork (NT$280). The meat is first grilled, then fried and finally stewed. A special sauce, exclusive to this restaurant, is added. A good appetizer choice is the "drunken chicken" wraps (NT$280). These are made with boneless chicken that is simmered in Shaohsing rice wine for 24 hours. A unique beverage is the Shanghai "Eight Treasures" tea (NT$160), made with eight Chinese herbs. This tea is supposed to be good for the throat and the lungs. The menu features a large selection of dishes. If you are not sure what to order, the staff has been trained to provide suggestions. From Monday to Friday, one-person set meals (NT$280) are available.
