| - The first time I came to A La Kitchen, I found the food to be bland and unmemorable. But I'm about giving second chances, so I came back again and ordered different dishes.
To start off, we shared a large bowl of sweetened hot soy bean milk. I think I still prefer my soy milk chilled, but this was nice for a chilly day. The rice roll with dried and minced pork and fried dough stick, pan-fried dumplings and pan-fried pork buns were all pretty ordinary. My favorite was the fried Shanghai noodle, which was addictively greasy and super flavorful. I love the abundance of meat and veggies. Our dessert, deep fried egg white ball with mashed sesame, was pretty underwhelming, but it might have been because I was too full to enjoy it too much.
All in all, my experience at A La Kitchen was better than my previous one, but I was still not overly impressed by the food. I think that there are better Shanghai restaurants around the area.
