This is my street, Yong Kang Lu which translates to literally Road of Eternal Health. It's a densely packed strip of the French Concession which is half new development and half older infrastructure. To my favor, one of the better Cantonese restaurants in town is right on this strip. This is Yi Sheng Yue Wei or also known as Eason Restaurant.
It's a tiny little place that is split in to two (very low) levels and seats about 20. Nevertheless, the place is clean and well-managed with proper Cantonese cooks in the kitchen. It's packed every night and so they decided to expand---but to where?
Across the street, naturally! Here is Yi Sheng Jou Xiang or Eason Cantonese Congeee which is primarily a Congee (rice porridge) shop because they have no full kitchen. However, you can still order off the full menu and the servers will just run the food across the street from the original Eason.
I thought the desire to expand despite the tricky logistics was quite ambitious already---until the other day I saw this:
I think there shall be an Eason 3 (although with no round windows this time). I'm wondering what specialty food this one will serve. Can't wait!
