There are days when you just want to be lazy, to just close your eyes and go where the wind takes you, to have no pressure, to not have to decide on anything, important things, like for instance what dishes to order for dinner with a group of good friends.
Today is such a day.
Thankfully, yè shanghai offers a set menu. For HK$380+10% per person, the restaurant will make all the important decisions for you. What to have for starters, what to have for main course, what to have for dessert. You just have to sit back, relax, and eat. Ahhh… this is the life.
