Xin Da Lu China Kitchen 新大陆 (Shanghai)


First, we hopped over to Hyatt by the Bund to pacify our tummies to make up for the bad dinner last night. 

Bibi told us there's Peking duck for lunch today!





We were famished when we got there and we ordered some small items to start. The Beancurd skin roll was one of them!



When I said small, it's indeed small......





We perceived it to be bigger! But it was so good! Comes with a vinegarish sauce that's so refreshing!


Next item is a fried mini shrimp dish....



This was SO DAMN GOOD! We have all concluded that this dish is like the best dish of the trip! It's crunchy and you can eat the whole damn thing including the shell yet you can still taste the prawn itself. Super darn good.


In fact this whole meal was fabulous! So good it makes me want to come back to Shanghai just for their food itself!

We had a cod fish soup, this was also crazy awesome! The soup has like different dimensions to it despite being a clear soup. The green like thingy isn't parsley or coriander! It's quite unique, not like something we've had before!




Chicken in sze chuan sauce...



Crazy crazy tender chicken with Chinese wine. Another dish that rocked my lunch! Super good!

And of course, Peking duck!!!




Keep carving!!





And for the Peking duck, they cut out for you the pure skin, the skin with meat and the meat!

The skin was soooooooo crispy!







To match well with the meal china wine! I don't know what this is but it's very potent and very good!




Chinese scallion noodles...




Ok the noodles was the most bleah of the meal. It looks better than it tastes!

And the pyramid pork belly that was quite a sight!








It was not bad too!

And the gyoza....




The gyoza was ok ok. 

The buns to go with the pork belly!




And since the only good dish we had last night was the beef noodles, we had to order their version too!



It's very herbal in taste, noodles too soft but the soup was on point!
