I'm not intentionally trying to get Jiangnan food two times in one day. It's just that I happened to be walking by this shop tonight, and the menu had some really interesting items (45 Temple Street, 6816-3787).
One of them was that diguoji pot above, featuring cuts of chicken braised in a spicy soy sauce and some flour pancakes cooked along the edges. The pancakes aside, it kinda reminded me of jigongbao, except that it was thicker and one didn't add broth and other toppings into it. Still, it was one of those salty bone-in dishes that requires slow and careful gnawing and ideally some booze to wash it down. Yes, I liked it.
To be sure, this place served Jiangsu cuisine rather than Hangzhou food from this morning. They had a number of things featuring thin pancake wraps on the side for carbs that looked promising enough to return for.
