SHANGHAI NOODLE HOUSE

15 Tattersalls Lane, Melbourne VIC 3000

So a group of us wandered in here after going to Camy’s, only to discover they were pushing that skanky, shite banquet on all their punters (who were still lining up in the rain for it – get a clue peoples!!). So, we thought, why not try this place, it looks allright doesn’t it? And we were very pleased.

They don’t serve alcohol, but do BYO, so we nipped down to Lt Bourke St and got a bottle of wine, and had some seriously tasty dumplings. The walls are decorated with brightly coloured pieces of cardboard which advertise specials and menu items, which I found cute. It reminded me a lot of some of the places in Adelaide’s Chinatown. The food was lovely and cheap. The waiter was very friendly, and we were not unceremoniously kicked out as soon as the last dumpling had passed our lips, like some other cheap Chinatown establishments! I’ve been there twice now, and both times had a great experience and ate lots of delicious dumplings. So if you wander down Tatersalls lane for Camy’s and either a) there is a line or b) it’s banquet only, go next door. You won’t regret it!
