After Nick wrote about the Kamakura-tei this afternoon, we decided to start a restaurant review section for our blog.
The restaurant under review tonight was recommended by Leelee Heng who brought Felicia here once before. It is a small restaurant which seats about 20-30 people. When we arrived on a Saturday evening at 8pm, it was about 30% full. I think they do quite a bit of take-out services as well. The restaurant serves Shanghainese dim-sums such as steamed dumplings, wontons, noodles, rice-cakes, as well as a few stir-fry dishes. The selections are limited but most items were quite tasty. We think the specialty of the house is probably their steamed dumplings. We had one basket (10) of the regular--pork stuffed dumplings, one with crab roes (in season during Autumn) as well as one stuffed with red-bean-paste (for dessert). The dumplings are wrapped and steamed after we ordered, so they are very fresh. Additionally, we had two bowls of wontons (one vegetarian and one with shrimps) with dry noodles and one order of soupy rice-cakes. The steamed stinky toufu was very stinky but quite tasty -- it was stinky enough for Nick to give it a pass. We also had a plate of stir-fry cabbage which was okay.
Overall, we had a decent experience and would visit again when we have cravings for steamed dumplings.
