Shanghai Super Noodle King

March 30th 2008 05:03
Nestled among other Shanghai-nese restaurants in the heart of 'Little Shanghai' Ashfield, the Shanghai Super Noodle King stands out among the crowd.

Shanghai Super Noodle King
Inside the Shanghai Super Noodle King - no one is complaining.



It's easy to see why. A line has formed by those in search for their favourite dumplings and pork buns despite at least five other surrounding restaurants offering the same menu. They had to have this one. It's already 2pm, way past the normal lunch time hours, yet they weren't looking any less busier as before.

I finally get my seat, after about 15 mins wait, which is still quite reasonable considering my record of 40 mins in line waiting to get into yum cha restaurants before. I sit down and search the menu. Nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to Shanghai-nese food: large selection of noodles, buns, dumplings and savoury pancakes, as well as a full list of a-la-carte Chinese dishes ranging from Peking Duck to Sweet and Sour Fish. It was indeed, hard to decide.

Our orders
The chines and pork dumplings, the won ton soup and the egg pancakes with dough stick



I chose to try their specialties, and ordered an egg pancake with fried dough sticks, pan-fried pork buns, Shanghai prawn and pork mini won ton soup, chives and pork dumplings and savoury radish cakes. (I am not a pig, this was to share between three people)

I was starving but I had to wait. Each dish is made to order even to the point of kneading the dough, but the results were well worth waiting for. The pork buns I was most impressed with. Fluffy white breads filled with juicy mince and vegetable fillings that has been pan-fried to have a crunchy base. It was most satisfying. The dumplings and won tons were also good, but the egg pancakes and the radish cakes were quite average. However, by the looks on the face of other diners, I can tell the rest of the menu are just as good.

I've been told next time I visit I should try some of the Chef's Suggestions such as Shredded Pork with Green Bean Sheet (which is meant to be a type of stir fried noodles). There is also the Tien-Jing Style Pork Buns (Named "Dogs will Ignore" in Chinese, don't ask me why)

I can't wait.

ashfield is my go-to place on the weekend. It's the new Chinatown... I buy my weekly groceries there at massive discounts over Woolies, the butchers and fishers are fantastic, and lunch there means great value.

Definitely better than Chinatown - and more authentic when it comes to the things they sell! Thanks for your comments Cib

You guys must be kidding me, I had the worst bout of food poisoning from this bloody restaurant. 4 days wasted in bed, vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps. Happened 3rd April, 2011.

Aaron - did you read the date of this article - over 3yrs ago. So much can change in 3yrs and if it has gone downhill perhaps it was not as bad as you are claiming 3yrs ago. My fave sushi place in the city I ate at for 2yrs until I got food poisoning so don't go back.

I hope you have taken the food poisoning claim up with the restaurant.

Hit up Din Tai Fung at World Square - AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
