Ding Tele Shanghai Panfried is a shockingly good spot for Shanghainese food. The food here really exceeded expectations, especially for something that looks like a casual neighbourhood eatery. The highlight was definitely the vegetable mushroom bao. Once steamed, the filling became incredibly fragrant and flavourful, with a juicy and savoury taste that made it surprisingly memorable. Simple ingredients but done really well. The 生煎包 was excellent too. Ordered the duo version with shrimp and pork, 2 pieces each, and both were satisfying. The skin had a nice slight crisp at the bottom while still staying soft and fluffy on top. The pork filling was juicy, while the shrimp version added a sweeter seafood flavour that paired nicely with the soup inside. The scallion oil noodles were good as well, with a nice texture and comforting taste, though it could use a bit more scallion oil fragrance to make the flavour pop stronger. Still enjoyable overall. The dumplings were solid too, nicely wrapped with juicy fillings and cooked well. Overall, this place serves really impressive Shanghainese food with great flavours across the menu. Definitely worth revisiting if craving baos and pan-fried buns. ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 4.5/5 stars.

Shocked when the fried rice arrived. The portion is completely unjustified for $7.60 before GST. It’s also tasteless. I suggest removing fried rice from the menu. The dumplings aren’t great either.

Avoid the pork chop fried rice at all cost, rice was soggy, tasteless and had a horrible burnt smell (bad wok hey). Pork chop was hard and had a mock taste to it. Dont even bother ordering their siew mai and xiao long bao, can just buy at NTUC and heat up, still nicer than this... Only their sheng jian bao was nice

Pan fried Mala dumplings taste quite good. Pan fried Beef dumplings not as nice. Braised pork chop noodle ok. Noodles were sprinky. Soup is blanded. Dried shrimp and pork dumpling noodles ok. Over the meat taste fine but the dumplings skin is on the thick side.
