Who says you can't celebrate with classic Chinese cuisine after the new year and the Chinese new year? At Modern Shang, you can have your festive Chinese feast any time...
Birthday Noodles, Braised Pork Belly and Braised Pork Knuckles. That's a lavish feast and if you're still catching up on the festive Chinese New Year celebrations, this might well be the perfect picks from Modern Shang. Read on for Part 4 of The Bistro Group Food Crawl at Robinsons Magnolia...
Halfway through The Bistro Group Food Crawl in Robinsons Magnolia, the diverse flavors of the pioneering restaurant group shines with local Shanghainese specialties at Modern Shang. Located right beside another restaurant concept from The Bistro Group, Modern Shang takes your palate on a flavorful journey of comfortingly familiar and authentic Chinese cuisine with a modern spin.
Since my first experience at Modern Shang back in 2014, the restaurant concept has consistently served quality dishes making it one of the top-of-mind picks for Chinese cuisine (for more on Modern Shang, see my posts A Taste of the Metro's Number One Xiao Long Bao at Modern Shanghai and A Blend of Traditional and Contemporary Flavors at Modern Shanghai both from way back in 2014).
Inside Modern Shang, the smooth transition from Fish & Co. in the shared space is elegantly seamless with its own distinct design theme. And just for Chinese New Year, Modern Shang shared their new dishes during The Bistro Group Food Crawl at Robinsons Magnolia...
...like the savory Braised Pork Belly and Braised Pork Knuckles for an auspicious start of the Year of the Rabbit.
But first, the mandatory noodle dish to set the mood. Whether it's a celebration or simply a gathering with family and friends, add the specialty Birthday Noodles (P 358/P 618) of Modern Shang to the table for some positive good vibes. Loaded with shrimps, squid, savory asado, chicken liver, pork and quail eggs on canton noodles, the Birthday Noodles is a festive dish for any occasion. When you think about it, do you even need a special occasion to enjoy these hearty noodles? After all, a visit to Modern Shang is a celebration in itself.
Then, crank up your feast at Modern Shang with their newest pair of savory offerings. The Braised Pork Belly is a beautifully executed slab of pure pork goodness with its buttery and melt-in-your-mouth finish. Draped in a sweet and thick savory sauce, cutting a piece is like slicing clean through butter. And a bite releases all the richness of the pork and sauce draping the palate with lingering notes.
A clean cut reveals the perfectly layered slab of pork, with each bite releasing intense savory notes. Both texture and flavor gives this dish that savory indulgence for the perfect celebration with family and friends. Perfectly executed, the Braised Pork Belly is an indulgent addition to any feast at Modern Shang...
...equaled only by the Braised Pork Knuckles. The collagen-rich dish brings another textural play on the palate with its buttery melt-in-your-mouth finish. The thick sauce and fresh bokchoy cuts though the richness for balanced flavors.
Braised for hours, the meat simply falls off the bone for an elegantly luscious dish followed by bold and solid flavors from both the sauce and the pork knuckles. Modern Shang's new dishes for the Chinese New Year adds that indulgent start with its savory richness to usher in the Year of the Rabbit.
The lavish new dishes are just part of the gastronomic medley of flavorful offerings at Modern Shang, with many more dishes to complete your Chinese New Year celebration. And that's one more layer to The Bistro Group Food Crawl experience at Robinsons Magnolia, with two more equally flavorful stops to follow at Las Flores and Texas Roadhouse. And you're just a few steps away...
