This will be super confusing... so, there's this new Shanghainese restaurant opened in the same shopping center as Jusgo supermarket. Photo courtesy: Juliana Chan
The problem is that they still haven't gotten their new sign up yet. So, in order to locate it, you have to find One Dragon Restaurant.
So we ordered the braised pork. I like that it's not too fattening as some places makes them, so I'm down with that. I just wish they have more heat.
This is the sweet pork ribs, it's fall off the bone good. The sweet is not too sweet, and it's very nice mix with molasses.
Shanghai Styled Stir Fried noodles. It's much oilier and not enough flavors.
Here's the star of the visit... Sui Long Bao - Shanghai soup dumping. I guess I was looking forward to it so much that I totally built it up. The technique in making them was great, but it is lacking something... can't quite pin point it yet.
This is the sweet red bean bao. The entire bao is steamed, as opposed to baked. So the filling is the sweet aduki beans. It's nice and yummy.
This is the Sheng Jian Bao, which is really steamed bao with pork as filling, and they pan fried them. This is the perfect consistency, and the right size.
From what I understand one of the chefs from E-Tao opened this store. And while, that should put authentic in the dishes, there's alot of stuff that's missing. For instance, some flavors in the dishes are not consistent. Also, when you try to order dishes on the menu, 3 out of the 5 we've asked for was not available. The servers must be family of the chef, because they seem very green to customer service. And when they have a large party, they can't really handle the rush. That said to me that they weren't ready. Let's not even mention the confusing sign. I was looking forward to this new place, and may give them another try later, but right now, they need some more improvement.
