Stay, Stray, Play and Feast: Shanghai Dimsum: Authentic Shanghai Cuisine (Getting High in Shanghai Series 4)

Shanghai Dimsum
Authentic Shanghai Cuisine
(Getting High in Shanghai Series 4)

We Headed for Kerry Parkside Mall after registering
for a medical convention at the Kerry Pudong Hotel.

It was noontime and we searched for a place to dine

and we finally decided to choose Shanghai Dimsum.

Shanghai Dimsum was packed.

…a restaurant staff gave us a number and we

settled on bench as we waited at the long queue.

When we settled and while browsing at the menu,

the lady sitting next to us who just finished her meal

started gargling right on the dining table and later

expelled out the gargled water into the used soup dish.

She then started clearing her throat making sure that her

expectorating is heard by everyone in the restaurant but
everyone acted like it was the most natural thing to do and

nobody seemed to mind and notice the grossness except us.

The unpleasant incident ruined our appetites that we almost

decided to leave but hesitated since it took us very long to

get seated due to the kilometric queue in this restaurant.

But all our nauseous sensation brought about revolting

tableside gargling and expectoration by the uncivilized

diner seated next to us disappeared when they served the

JunHua Pork and Shepherd’s Purse Wonton Soup.

Jinhua is a type of native pig named after the city of Jinhua,

where it is produced, in the Zhejiang province of eastern China.

It added a delicious musty flavor on the confrting wonton soup.

Stir Fried Organic Cauliflower with Sliced Pork also had that

pleasant musty flavor as trhey also used the native Jinhua pork.

It went well with the fresh organic vegetable that was perfectly

stir fried as they were still firm and crunchy and not soggy at all.

The Braised Deep Fried Bass Fish with Sweet and Sour Sauce,

Shanghai Style tasted so good as the fish was fried into crunchy

perfection and bathed with a wonderfully tangy sweet and sour sauce.

The Braised JinHua Pork Cutlets with with Szechuan Sauce

was the restaurant’s main specialty. Made from native JinHua

pork and braised to a melt in the mouth tenderness. The pork’s

natural mustiness blended well that the goopy, sweet, and briny

Szechuan sauce and a mild lingering hint of sesame aftertaste.

Just as we thought our appetites was ruined

by the grossness of our neighboring diner,

the food was so good that we ended up every

piece and morsel of food in out dining plates.

It was our second day in Shanghai and the second Chinese restaurant we
dined and we all ended everything and leaving with clean plates on both.
