R2. 上海炒粗麵 ($14) Stir Fried Noodle Shanghai Style
I had the Shanghai style thick chow mein, which was good. There were thick udon-like noodles, cabbage, onions, scallions, chicken, and beef.
D4. 上海小籠包 ($13) Shanghai Steamed Soup Dumpling (8)
I also tried the XLB, natch. This was also good. They were quite large with a large meatball filling and a decent amount of soup. The skins were thin. There was a high ratio of filling to skin.
I wish i could try those dishes, they look and sound good, though it is a pity about the cucumber salad being too salty.
I wish i had pictures of dishes and descriptions of them by people i respect for every restaurant i go to. It would improve my hit to miss ratio immensely!
Hmmm…
I expect tbere will be a customizable app for that soon.
I had a late dinner at the Duboce Triangle Shanghai Dumpling King yesterday.
I started with the Shanghai Style Meat Wonton Soup (8) 云吞 ($13), which were quite nice. The wontons were pork filled and light in texture. The wrappers were quite soft as well. The soup I think was chicken based and had a lot of white pepper.
And also the Stir Fried Rice Cakes 炒年糕 ($14), another Shanghainese dish. These were quite nice as well. The rice cakes were a little chewy and had the texture of a thick ho fun, maybe a little chewier. There were some crunchy slightly charred cabbage and some slivers of pork as well.
