| - We came here on a Sunday at noon when our regular Dim Sum place was too full, and it turned out pretty well. I haven't had Shanghai style in a while, mostly because of the heavier use of wheat dumpling wrappers and noodles as opposed to rice wrappers and noodles in other cuisines, but there was enough selection that I could eat here comfortably.
We had the pork jelly cake to start with - nice flavour and texture. The bean curd rolls and meatballs soup was also very nicely flavoured and the rolls and meatballs were really good. Then we had the countryside style stir fried pork - really good, great mix of flavours and textures; the chili shrimp - nicely cooked but I didn't like the particular combination of too sweet and too vinegary and not enough heat; the stir fried beans with minced pork were probably my favourite - great flavour, perfect heat, tender and flavourful pork - mmmm!; and the fried rice with egg and green onion was also really good - perfectly cooked with a nice balance of flavours.
The place is small and ordering is off the menu, not with the carts, but the food was good, service was prompt, and the price was in range with the local competition, so I am pretty sure we will be back!
