Shanghai Ding In Penang

After our buffet breakfast in Dorset Hotel, my kids and I proceeded to Queensbay... window shopping... just to walk... that was what I had in mind, though my girl was thinking otherwise. *roll eyes*

Anyway, we did not buy much, I only insisted on buying a pair of Bermuda shorts for Andy... he is very frugal in this attire, each time I have to force him to buy some clothing for himself... unlike my girl, she doesn't need to be forced.. she is most willing to try on anything that catches her eyes....Girls!! *smile*

As for me, I am more interested in food.... *grin* We went to this place...

Shanghai Ding
House Of Dumplings...

Andy wanted a Heart Shaped Rice...

I ordered shrimp ramen noodles...

my girl had ramen with fishballs...

ordered some mini char siew pau...

and some mini egg tarts...

These pictures might be misleading,
actually they were nothing to shout about..
The food were so-so only..
Well, everything has their first time...
Pay to taste and that's it.. hahahaa....

    I agree that the food is so-so only. I don't usually eat there as there's so much hassle to cross the road from Queensbay to reach Shanghai Ding. To save the trouble, there is a better choice at the second floor of Queensbay - Dragon One - which I think serves better Shanghainese fare than the former.

    By the name itself, I thought Shanghai Ding is famous for their dumplings since they're called House of Dumplings but Claire, did you tried any?
