Food is delicious after a few hour of browsing in Dymocks; so off to visit a new restaurant on Church St! The restaurant is sort of sparsely decorated but a small vase of fake flowers on each table adds some life (ironically). My table had pretty good service too!
Shanghai Chef Kitchen is right next to Taste Gallery.

| Shanghai steamed mini pork bun $5.80 |
This is basically xiao long bao and for me, was one of the better ones I've had although I still think the casing is a hair too thick... The filling is good but the broth isn't steaming hot.
 |
| Pork with taro in hotpot $15.80 |
The cut is pork belly so it's a combination of soft fat and meat and the sauce has a sort of sludgy consistency that you'd expect from adding taro into it. The taro flavor is sort of muted though. It smells of 5 spice but has sweet overtones (oh my, I sound so pretentious...).
 |
| Chive and pork dumplings $8.80 |
I'm sort of eh about these dumplings. For me, the outsides could have been a little less dry but the pork and chive filling has flavor. Again, I feel that the casings were a little thick.
 |
| Crispy radish pastry $8.80 |
Thin strings of radish enveloped in a flaky pastry. The pastry is okay although I don't really like radishes served this way...
