Shanghai Blues: The search for Mooli

There are not many Chinese restaurants where we have seen Shredded Mooli Cakes on the menu. Princess Garden is one place that offers them and Shanghai Blues is another. Traditionally I think Mooli Cakes comes out for Chinese New Year but both restaurants offer this item all year around. I don’t know what it is about them but they are super tasty – think it’s the combo of the light crispy outside mixed with the mushy stuff in the middle. Yum!

For something new we also tried out the Black squid-ink and white rice flour dumpling stuffed with roast duck and earthy preserved vegetables. It was, surprisingly, nothing special. Looked pretty dramatic though!
