| Grilled beef highlight the menu of Singapore Restaurant Group's new branch in Shanghai. (China Daily) |
The most popular dishes at this restaurant are steamed custard buns and steamed shrimp dumping. The former is nothing special but it is true to its Chinese name - "golden-sand-flowing bun". The bun must be eaten quickly so the "golden sand" doesn't flow all over, on your hand, the plate, even your clothes.
The steamed shrimp dumpling is much easier to handle, but boasts an equally rich filling. Aside from the tender tips of bamboo shoots, the dumping is full of large fresh shrimps.
The Peking duck, on the other hand, is not as authentic as it is in its hometown, but has an "exotic" flavor. The ducks used to come from the Yangtze River, and are different from the ones used in Beijing, and provide a much more tender and juicy meat. The steamed pancake, handmade by the dim sum chefs who are very good with flour, are more moist and glutinous than in the capital. Ninety slices of skin are carved from each duck, according to the restaurant, and every day, there are six ducks available.
