New Shanghai, Westfield Centrepoint, Sydney CBD

A new 'New Shanghai' has just opened up on the lower ground floor of the Westfields on Pitt street in Sydney's CBD. Because its still relatively new, and not many people know about it, it's a great place to satisfy any dumpling cravings you may have without having to wait for a table - even peak hour on a Friday night.

The service is impeccable and the dishes come out so fast it makes you wonder if they have prepared these dishes.

Crab meat and pork dumplings - $12 - Although many dishes often say they have crab meat, a lot of the time I find the crab flavour lost amongst the other flavours, or the crab meat is just so subtle you can barely taste it. Not so for these dumplings, where the pork meat and crab meat are locked into these little dumpling parcels and them steamed to create piping hot soupy concoction loaded with crab and pork flavour.

Shanghai fried noodles - $11 - Somewhat oily and could do with more pieces of shredded pork, but a crowd favourite nonetheless.
