Another visit to Taste of Shanghai, but this time I went to the one in World square. Luckily I came before dinner rush so the place still quite empty, otherwise, look at the prepared red chairs at the front for people to queue ;p
The menu that I ordered pretty much were similar to the ones I had in Bondi Junction food court except this Dumplings in Chilli Oil which I shud've found out sooner about this delicacies! The chilli oil did not provide any heat but rather just a mild chilli note for the boiled dumplings.

Wonton in Chilli Oil $9.80 |
Not to be missed, my favourite veggie dish of all time.... Green beans! The crunchy beans and the savoury note from the mince pork made this dish so perfect even just for nibbles... ~~
|
Green Beans with Mince Pork $15.80 |
We also tried the special fried rice, even though the menu said chilli, but there seems to be no chilli here whatsoever ;p Either way, the fried rice is full of flavour and also loved that smoky wok aroma in it!!

Special fried rice with Chilli $13.80 |
No words to describe XLB! It's just juicy pork goodness in wrapper <3 I was craving XLB that day and wanted to visit Din Tai Fung but when comparing the price with Taste of Shanghaii, we decided to just go back to the good old cheaper ones haha!

Xiao Long Bao $9.80 |
A new dish that we tried that day was the Braised pork Belly with preserved vegetables at the bottom and covered with this mushroom based probably oyster sauce? It came with an option of adding steamed buns for another $5 to soak up those sauces and have DIY braised pork bun hehe!

Braised Pork Belly Slices with Preserved Vegetables $22.80 |
|
Extra Bun $5 |
The pork was really tender and fatty. Not really a fan of the fat but the sauce are flavoursome! Bebski loved it as he looooves pork fat ;p The bun was steamed well, it was soft and provides a perfect cover for the delish braised pork and preserved veggies :)
Taste of Shanghai impressed me every time :)
I loveeeee pork fat but trying not to have any more now! Cholesterol! :p
