Lao Zheng Xing Description

Founded in 1862, Lao Zheng Xing has a long tradition of excellent cooking. Extravagantly decorated with plenty of gold gilding and a large banquet hall, this restaurant specializes in seasonal sea and river fare: various fish in spring, shrimp in the summer, crabs in autumn, and herring in winter. The exquisite Shanghai red sauce--condensed, smoky flavours with a hint of cinnamon--that accompanies many seafood dishes and their "eight treasures" rice mix are a favorite among locals and foreigners alike.
