dumplings dumplings ... and more dumplings

after spending the whole afternoon in the city shopping and coming home with lots of goodies we headed to shanghai town for dinner. ashfield is known to be a little shanghainese community so when you're on the main road through the town, you'll come across quite a number of shanghainese restaurants. we got to new shanghai and oh great, there was a queue. good thing we didn't wait long. our dinner consists mainly of dumplings - steamed pork & chive dumplings, pan fried pork dumplings and siu long baus. all of which were really tasty. the funniest thing was when the fried rice arrived. everyone was dissapointed coz it looked pretty pale until D took a bite and his eye lit up and went "wah, damn good". that was when everyone else dug in ^_^ it was only a pity that the food took a while to arrive. the dishes come out one at a time and by the time the porridge i ordered came i was full. oh and they gave our siu long baus to the wrong table so we had to wait somemore; not only that i didn't think the skin was thin enough -_- something must have been happening in the kitchen coz it wasn't alex's first time and he had no problems last time.  maybe next time we won't go on a saturday night. hmmmm thinking about the dumplings are making my mouth water.
