Madame Shanghai is part of Lotus Group's latest creation. The design of the restaurant was inspired by a pre-war Shanghai look where the East meets the West. More emphasis is placed by dressing some of the staff in the traditional Chinese dress of "qipao".

Would we come back again? I would say yes, two bad dishes aren't enough to turn us down when every other dish on the menu still sounds pretty exciting. Besides, the dumplings and lamb were amazing, so we are going to give this place a second chance.
One more thing that I would like to mention quickly is the service was superb at the beginning when the restaurant was quiet. However, when the restaurant started to fill up, the staff became less and less attentive. Whilst this may be expected, it's not a good way to set the bar high and then disappoint.
