If you are in Penang and haven’t checked out Shanghai Ding (上海鼎), do pay it a visit. (You can read my previous review here.) If you have tried it and haven’t been there lately, they have expanded their menu with new dishes such as the Shanghainese specialities Dongbo Rou (braised pork stomach/东波肉), vinegar pork ribs, etc…

Cool project!
The Mango cheese looks rather grainy tho. Scallop Nest looks kinda weird with the banana leaf back there.
But love the rest of the pictures. Nice composition and shots!

I’ll say it’s a job well done! Did they let you eat the dimsum after the shoot? ;p

That vinegar pork ribs looks so tasty! Nice composition on the pics. Too bad about the lack of lighting. Could you have used a bounce flash?

Hi. I have been reading you blog for ages and really love it. I live in Australia…love Malaysian food…and find it great to see such food from the source.
I have been trying to understand the technique to cook Asian style Red Vinegar Ribs for so long. It is very hard to find authentic Asian recipes on the Web. Is there any chance of sharing such a recipe?

I’m actually a regular at your blog as I love your wonderful pics and recipes! I just knew about the new Shanghai Ding at New World Park. Looking forward to try the durian pancake I saw on their flyer menu ;)

K & S - thanks for your sweet comment, as always. :)
KM - hehe, I was intrigued by the heart-shaped fried rice, too. It was very cute, and called QQ fried rice. Yeah, the braised pork stomach was very good.
New Kid on the Blog - yes, you can ask for the boss and tell him or her that you are a friend of Rasa Malaysia and ask for the special one-time VIP discount. :)
Andaliman - I couldn’t resist either. ;)
S - Unfortunately I don’t know how to make them…sorry.
Christine - thanks. :)
MyF - yes, it was raining so some shots were pixelated and I didn’t bring any lighting tool with me because I was traveling…I actually like the banana leave as the background…it perks it up…I have one without the banana leaves and it was kinda boring.
Mandy - thanks. I did…that’s the great perk about doing food photography…I get to eat all the food, wahahahah.
Nate 2.0 - I didn’t bring my lighting gear…oh well. I think they still turned out quite good.
Andrew - thanks for your comment and kind word. I do have the recipe, but will have to get to it. If you can’t wait, send me an email and I shall share it with you. :)
Joe - you are too nice. Thanks for your comment. :)

Cynthia - how about you give me a ticket and I will fly to Barbados and “teach” you in your kitchen? I want to go to Barbados. ;)
Lyrical Lemongrass - correct…calling my name, too. LOL!
Pablo - next time you have to come to Penang, I will ask my sponsor to cook all the pork dishes for you since you love pork so much. :P
Claude - come back to Penang again, next time when I go home and I will take you to eat all the good food. ;)
Kate - yes, the stir-fried radish cake was awesome…yummylicious!
Budding Cook - feel free to chomp all you want.

Wow, those are some of the most beautiful and elaborate dim sums I have ever seen. How much are they?
The dim sums we get in Chinatown are delicious but simple and plain. They cost $2.50 (small), $3.50 (medium) and $4.50 (large).

Hi RM, these shots are GORGEOUS ! I’ve never been to Shanghai Ding but will keep it in mind when I’m in Penang next. How can I resist after looking at all this beautiful yummy dishes??!
Yeah, I know what you mean about taking pics with natural light, its great, but sometimes when the weather is not at it’s best the light can shift very quickly and it can be a real bummer when you’re pressed for time.
I love your new profile pic - that’s a lovely smile. You’ve brushed really well I can tell, but where’s the rest of your face? It’s not that we don’t know how you look already? HA!HA!
Oh, one more thing, Congrats on the cooking class alliance with Jaden - it’s great, wish I was there. I know I’d have a ball of a time! Good Luck!

I just came back from Shanghai Ding, the food is not bad. But when I asked about the special one time “VIP Discount” as mentioned by RasaMalaysia (telling them we are a friend) they refused lol. Talk about embarassment, when the boss looked at me at one kind. According to her their price is already at special rate -_-

Wow! We have Ding Tai Fung here, but Shanghai Ding looks just as good!!! I want to know what is that on the 1st pic, 2nd row? the spiky thing looks divine!!!

Billy @ Table For Two - they are called pockey mouse, the specialty there. It’s so soft and awesome. You would love them.
