Shao Shan - Bruessel

We went there for lunch on weekend with some expectations according to the good reviews on tripadvisor, but it turned out the food is just average. We can taste that the food is freshly made but the flavour is not that as remarkable as we expected. The waitress was kind enough though. As we were the only customers at there the food came out pretty fast.

We had a great meal. Dumplings and calamari for entree and a beef dish and prawn dish with steamed rice for main. We took the advice from the very helpful waitress to get the best dishes and were not disappointed. Great use of chilli loved it all. We only got one picture because we we're too busy eating once they both came.

We have followed the recommendation of Tripadvisor and had a lunch in this restaurant. Only disappointment ! We ordered the boiled beef as main course in which we only find several small slices of beef without flavor. The other plate were also mediocre. The chef was very aggressive and ungracious when the problem has been pointed out. To avoid for sure if you don't want to spoil your weekend ! You will certainly have much better choice with the same price in Brussels !

I have ordered the boiled fish and the mao's meat. The boiled fish is what impressed me most. It is with Zanthoxylum and dry hot pepper, bean sprout is at the bottom. Even though there is not so much fish, nor many vegetables. I have to say this is delicious and authentic, and I gave my scores mainly based on this. Mao's meat is in average. The color is too dark, the taste is too salty in terms of Chinese flavor. The annoying thing is that we have found a piece of meat with nipple on it. Oh... that really sucks. The soup is ordinary.

One of the best chinese meals I ever had. Non of the westernised dishes here, but authentic food, with proper seasoning. Staff is extremely friendly and obviously very proud to serve this food. Apparently they rotate chefs every couple of months, and only chefs who have had a particular kind of education in China are allowed to make dishes from this region. Don't get discouraged by the strange exterior or 80's interior, but go in (or book in advance), you won't be disappointed.
