J. B. House
Set in a well-maintained tree-lined garden, J. B. House maintains a pleasantly private and quiet environment. Decorated throughout with bamboo, the simplistic lobby has a real flavour of elegance, whilst the dining space available is very comfortable.
The cuisine is primarily Shanghai food supplemented with quality Cantonese staples, such as abalone and shark fin. The classic cold dish Shanghai-style spiced and fried fish is a must choice for diners – made form a 10-kilo herring and given a unique flavor by its high quality ingredients. A new dish, salad in a flower vase, is designed to appeal to young people and courting couples with its fashionable presentation and accompanying assortment of fresh vegetable and fruits. The hot dished here show a similar commitment to creativity. The rolls of “Gui” fish pickled in wine, cod cooked in soy bean sauce (spread over flower petals) and the prawns on fried toast are all a testament to this. On the abalone front, 6-head, 15-head, and 20-head South African varieties are all available. Whilst the fried abalone and shark fin soup, boiled for 12 hours, demonstrates excellent cooking shills, but is still sold at a reasonable price.
There are varieties of both domestic and overseas red and white wines available. Liquors here include Maotai, Wuliangye and Shuijingfang.
The waiters are warm, considerate, and very pro-active in serving the guests.
