A new restaurant recently joined the already-fierce competition among restaurants in Richmond offering Shanghai cuisine.
Longdhang opened in early January, at 8053 Alexandra Rd. close to No. 3 Road, offering traditional Shanghai dishes that include Xiaolongbao (Shanghai-style steamed dumplings), fried buns, Shanghai vegetable rice, scallion oil noodles and fried glutinous rice cakes.
"Longdhang" is a Chinese word that refers to the alleys in Shanghai and southern China, representing a unique type of Shanghai neighbourhood.
Richmond already has a vibrant Shanghai restaurant scene in the city.
Last year, two Shanghai restaurants selling similar items opened in the food court at Admiralty Centre.
There are also some long-time Shanghai restaurants in Richmond including Shanghai River, Top Shanghai Cuisine Restaurant, Shanghai Wonderful Restaurant and Dynasty Dumpling House.
