Legend Taste

As a fan of spicy Yunnan dishes and looking for something slightly cheaper than Lost Heaven, Legend Taste seemed to fit the bill. The numerous reviews on the Shanghai websites built the hype. The actual restaurant is small and cozy, but there is a random large flat-screen television hovering in the back. It looks suitable for either impromptu KTV or sports viewing.


I am not sure if it what was ordered, but the dishes were not so exciting. It was a mixed bag of tricks. The morning glory was removed from the menu. Sadness! The fried egg with vegetables was very salty. The Haini fish was just fried lumps, but the actual flesh was light and not too dry. Aubergines were a good choice, but still very oily. The beef was good and spicy. The beer that accompanied the meal was probably equally exciting and cheap at 15-20RMB.

I feel let down. Another visit to this place is necessary to explore more dishes and the delight from the reviews that tempted the visit in the first place.
