New Shanghai, 226 Queen Street, BRISBANE QLD 4000
Other
than one or two disappointing experiences, we've been quite lucky
with our food adventures since we've been back from the States.
We
recently discovered New Shanghai on the lower ground level of Queens
Plaza, a well decorated Shanghaiese restaurant. So we decided to try
it out.
The
restaurant was relatively busy upon our arrival, but we were seated
within fifteen minutes. The restaurant provides classical
Shanghai-style cuisine. From xiao long bao (steamed mini pork buns)
to drunken chicken served with cold noodles, the choices are
plentiful. Needless to say, I had a difficult time deciding on what
to have for dinner. On top of all that, I love the décor!
We
settled on New Shanghai xiao long bao ($7.50 for 8 pieces),
pan fried crab and pork buns ($13.50 for 8 pieces), braised
pork belly ($16.80) and stir fried string beans ($12.80)
with a pot of earthy Pu'er tea on the side.
Although
the braised pork belly looked very fatty, it was delicious, the meat
was tender, moist and had a lovely deep flavour so I could rarely
taste any of the fattiness. The rest of our dishes were also very
tasty. Personally, I liked the pan fried crab and pork buns better
than the xiao long bao, and I think they are great value too. Also,
the tea was a fantastic way to lighten the heaviness of the pork.
We
are so happy to have found a great Chinese restaurant that's close to
home!
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $61.40.

DeleteI really like this place, but make sure you don't go there too late because the service won't be as nice.
Happy eating ! :)
