REVIEW:
Who thought that you could fill your belly with delicious morsels for a mere $6!
Well, when you see queues of hungry diners lining up outside of the Shanghai Dumpling restaurant, you begin to open yourself up to the possibility that such a cheap feed can really be good - so good that diners keep coming back for more and more, and more!
At Shanghai Dumpling you'll find the place jam-packed with folk from all over Melbourne, and you will also find waiters happily and humorously serving them with flair and quick speed. Yes tables are a tight squeeze, and yes your beverages, including BYO are consumed from white plastic cups, but who needs the fancy excess of glassware when the food is so good.
An extensive menu of dumplings ranging from your classic pork to tasty light mushroom and vegetable varieties can either be steamed or fried to your preference. The dumplings are generously stuffed with tasty fillings - bursting with freshness, colour and texture, and a plate of 15-20 dumplings will cost you less than $6!
So do yourself a favour, get lost in the city of Melbourne and explore Chinatown, where in all fairness there are many hidden foodie gems. But if you would prefer a little direction, look no further than Shanghai Dumpling.
