About this spot
Shanghai Lane in Central offers a bustling Cantonese dining experience where you can expect dim sum carts rolling through the room and steaming baskets of har gow alongside crispy char siu bao. The kitchen specializes in classic roasted meats and seafood, serving up generous portions that feel like a proper family-style feast rather than a quick snack.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the pork belly buns first as they sell out quickly during morning rush hours.
- Ask for extra soy sauce on the side to dip your dumplings before eating them plain.
- Save room for the egg tarts, which are best enjoyed warm and slightly runny in the center.
