Shanghainese Food!!!

I'm craving some good Shanghainese food. No such thing here in Manila, but I can look at pictures during my last trip to Vancouver. When your In Richmond BC you should stop by the following Chinese restaurants.


The restaurant is not elegant or high-end, and you shouldn't come and expect it to be. The place is in Ackroyd mall on no.3 road, so it's quite cramped. The doorway doesn't have a lot of room, so often people are crammed at the entrance trying to get a seat.

It was quite packed when I went there they offered a "shared" table but I declined. Anyway when I got seated They had these really yummy buns which are shaped like rosettes, which you then dip into condensed milk, and their Pork Knuckle was really good . It's a great restaurant and there's good reason it's always so packed. Try going at non-peak times if you're trying it for the first time.

They serve authentic and delicious dishes from Shanghai, China. Reservations are a must, and consider going a bit early to avoid the rush.

The dinners are a good bargain, they have a section of entree dishes that go for $8.88. The portions are pretty impressive especially for being under $10. Their lettuce wraps are tasty too, they do offer it in chicken, duck, beef, and pork as well. The shanghai dumplings were very tasty, filled with pork and a rich broth.

I make it a point to eat here everytime I visit Vancouver. The chef here used to be the Chef at Shanghai Wind (across from Richmond Center) If you want to check it out they are open for dinner from 5pm to 9:45pm and for lunch from 11am to 2:45pm, closed Tuesdays.
