HOME'S Private Restaurant is one of the earliest private restaurants established in Shanghai, and it is well-known in the Jing'an Temple area. Recently, a new branch was opened, and the popularity has been full, and the lunch market is late to queue for more than half an hour.
HOME'S mainly serves local dishes, which can be ordered a la carte or set menu. Compared with other private dishes, HOME'S has fewer special dishes, most of which are common local dishes, and the seasonal changes are not very obvious, so the kitchen usually pre-distributes 2288, 3288, and 4088 price sets for 10 people, and prints them as temporary menus for guests' reference. In order to take into account the taste of the public, all grades of the package have the popular smoked fish, braised pork, fried shrimp, special shredded chicken, HOME'S bridge crab, signature boiled dried shreds, etc., these dishes are well selected and stable, so there is no need to worry about the taste. The difference is that the higher-end menu includes a small number of slightly more expensive dishes such as Boston lobster, fish maw stewed with bamboo shoots in yellow soup, steamed anchovy (seasonal), and chicken and rice with abalone sauce, but there is not much difference overall. If there is no dish you want to try, it is recommended to choose a package of 2288 yuan, which is enough to taste its high-quality dishes.
Among them, the following are the traditional dishes of old Shanghai that are relatively rare in today's restaurants, and you can pay attention to them. The old Shanghai salad is the potato salad that Shanghainese like to eat in the 80s of the last century, and the common Caesar salad and Italian vinaigrette salad are different, it is made into a salad dressing with egg whites and salad oil, with diced potatoes, green beans, corn kernels, and ham diced that are boiled to the powder, the color is very small and fresh, smooth and glutinous, and the taste is rich in layers, which is worth a try. The special glutinous rice and red dates are a bit of the shadow of Shanghai Babao rice, sweet and glutinous, when the chef makes it, the moisture is well controlled, the glutinous rice is chewy, and the red dates are eaten together, the taste is good, it is a good traditional cold dish dim sum. The rice cake is fried just right, it looks similar to that of other small shops, and the victory is that the heat is well controlled, it is fried crispy and oil-free, and the dried scallops inside are full of umami, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, which is very delicious. For meat dishes, you can try shredded salted chicken, northern Jiangsu chicken soup, and special beef ribs. HOME'S also lists the recommended dishes for each season, which are prominently displayed in the restaurant, but compared to the high-end private dishes, these are not special seasonal dishes, and the reference is not high.
The Jing'an Temple store is renovated into a western-style house, and the large room is used to set up scattered tables, which is cramped and noisy, and it will be much more comfortable to dine at staggered peaks; The decoration of the private room on the second floor is more refined than that on the first floor, and the rustic-style tablecloth matches the scenery outside the window, which has the intimacy of a family banquet. Huaihai West Road store has a large private room that can accommodate 15 people, close to the subway station, convenient transportation, if you have a large number of people for dinner, it is recommended to choose this branch.
