Shanghai Memories at Ashfield

I read about this new Shanghainese restaurant recently in Good Living. The owner branched out from his father's restaurant, a few doors away.

We had steamed pork ribs in millet, panfried pork dumplings, tofu with crabmeat, stewed pork with tofu and a cold dish (flour tendon with lily flower and wood fungus). The 'tendons' were gluten. The stewed pork and dumplings were not unusual but the rest were. And worth trying.

Next time, we will try their noodles, Shanghai sweet and sour pork, duck with taro and xiaolongbao.

Choptsticks at Harris Park

We went there last Thursday again with Kar Seng and Ju. The food was still good but nearly every time now, Mrs Tey is not as impressed with the food when returning to a 'new' restaurant.

We had Schezuan Fried Rice with seafood, a saucy prawn dish, special curry chicken, gobi manchuria and a Goan fish curry (with coconut cream and tamarind).

After that, we drove to the Korean joint opposite Temasek to buy takeaways for Eunice before going to the Snowy. The cafe has already closed but they still sold us the takeaway boxes. $15 for six and they added another 2 for a total of $20. I insisted on paying more for the two extra boxes they found. These Koreans are very friendly and nice.
