Yum Cha gone WILD

Bi Feng Tang, WuJiaoChang (Shanghai, China)

This is the first of my China-trip restaurant entries and I chose Bi Feng Tang to start with because a) that's what I happened to upload onto this computer and b) it's a franchise (i.e. slightly more relevant to you readers in Australia).


I went to Bi Feng Tang on my last day in Shanghai with a huge group of family and extended family. We ordered a lot of food so I'm not going to run through a personal review of each and every dish.




Overall, the menu selection was pleasing, the food was good quality and tasty. Service was prompt and efficient and the restaurant layout was clean and open. The place was super packed and when we left, I noticed a line of people waiting for a table. In China, the popularity of a restaurant is a key indicator of how good it is. In this case, I'd say Bi Feng Tang is right up there.

This meal had us all stuffed to the neck and there was still food left over! Yum cha in Brisbane hardly compares with the generic supermarket varieties.

Bi Feng Tang has built an international reputation for good yum cha and it's well deserved.
