Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling 鼎特乐上海生煎包

I was at the stretch of eateries opposite Beauty World during dinner time and every restaurant was bursting with people so I ended up having dinner at Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling.

Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling - Restaurant Front

Ding Te Le Shanghai Panfried Dumpling specialises in Shanghainese cuisine and is especially known for their shengjian bao.

The Food

Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling - Wheat Gluten & Shiitake Mushrooms

Wheat Gluten & Shiitake Mushrooms 四喜烤麸 [S$6.20] is a classic Shanghainese cold dish. The roasted gluten is tossed with citron daylily，black fungus and fried peanuts. It is a fragrant and swim sweet dish that works great as an appetiser.

Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling - Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs

Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs 糖醋小排 [S$9.30] is supposed to be sweet and sour but I could only taste the sweetness. It's nice but it get a little too cloying after a few pieces.

Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling - Signature Pan-Fried Crispy Pork Soup Buns

Shengjian bao is a type of small pan-fried Chinese bun that is a specialty of Shanghai. Ding Tele's Signature Pan-Fried Crispy Pork Soup Buns 招牌生煎 (4 pieces) [S$6.20] is filled with pork filling and soup that burst into your mouth. It is small enough to be popped into your mouth, but I find it slightly sweet.

Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling - Signature Steamed Pork & Soup Bun

Shanghai is also famous for xiao long bao which is known as Signature Steamed Pork & Soup Bun 招牌小笼包 (5 pieces) [S$6.20] at Ding Tele. It is not quite a good as Ding Tai Fung's Steamed Pork Dumpling.

Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling - Vegetable & Pork Wonton in Soup

The simple Vegetable & Pork Wonton in Soup 菜肉大馄饨 [S$8.20] is a welcome respite from the overwhelming sweetness that is characteristic of Shanghainese cuisine. The wontons are huge and each is packed with generous filling of vegetable and pork filling.

Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling - Fermented Rice Dumpling Soup

Fermented Rice Dumpling Soup 酒酿圆子 [S$6.20] is a specialty dessert from the jiangnan region and it is very popular in Shanghai. Soft glutinous rice balls are cooked in fermented glutinous rice wine, giving this dessert a fragrant aroma and sweet taste.

Conclusion

Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried Dumpling is a good restaurant to try out authentic Shanghainese cuisine such as shengjian bao, wheat gluten, wonton and fermented rice dumpling.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
