I was searching for a place for a quick cheap lunch and the DXT just looked sparkling clean. I saw was the little beef burgers fly by to a neighbouring table and, even though I was a lone diner, I ordered a basket as a starter, 5¥ for 4. The buns are a bit like challah, crispy fried on one side and coated with sesame seeds.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang3.jpg" title="delicious beef stuffed buns"><img src="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang3.jpg" alt="delicious beef stuffed buns" /></a></p> <p>The filling was sparse but tasty and consisted of a slice of beef, some lettuce and a smear of hoisin like sauce. For me these are so disgustingly moreish, I feel like I could eat 3 baskets full. Check out the other sandwich bun offerings as well a plate of fried baozi I saw on a neighbouring table, and a sandpot soup that seemed to be all the rage at about half the tables in the place.<br /> Although my soup noodles were tasty sour and hot (forget how much, but cheap), the Xinjiang lamian (10¥) were even better, slightly chewy and dressed with a typical tomato and bell pepper sauce.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang1.jpg" title="da pan ji"><img src="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang1.jpg" alt="da pan ji" /></a></p> <p>Da pan ji (big plate chicken, 36¥ small plate), that western Chinese classic was tasty if a bit greasy, not as spice heavy as some versions. The same was true of the Sichuan garlic aubergine (8¥) where steamed eggplant strips were dressed with a soy, vinegar and oil sauce. Yang rou chuan (lamb kebabs, 5/13¥) were more deep fried than grilled but nicely spiced and the meat of a good quality, with a nice proportion of fat. Also try the two teas in the cooler machines next to the bar, the one with 3 hanzi chrs is an apricot flavoured one and is very tasty.</p> <ul> <li>Service: 3/5 (unilingual Chinese but with a translated menu)</li> <li>Food: 3.5/5 (greasy but tasty and inexpensive)</li> <li>Atmosphere: 3/5 (for a cheap Chinese resto AMAZING, otherwise just ok)</li> <li>Overall: 3.5/5 (I’m a sucker for those buns and want to try more!!)</li> </ul> <p>110 ¥ for 3 with drinks.</p> <p class="address"> 333 Changde Lu,<br /> Jing An<br /> near Beijing Xi Lu (it’s actually on Beijing Xi lu behind Jing An Temple, but the building address is 333 Changde)</p> <p class="address">Metro Line 2 Jing’an Temple Station<br /> 常德路333号<br /> 近北京西路, 地铁2号线静安寺路站 6218-2579</p> <p><a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuangxiaoting2.jpg" title="nameless soup"><img src="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuangxiaoting2.thumbnail.jpg" alt="nameless soup" /></a><a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang2.jpg" title="sichuan garlic aubergine"><img src="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang2.thumbnail.jpg" alt="sichuan garlic aubergine" /></a><a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang4.jpg" title="lamb kebab"><img src="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang4.thumbnail.jpg" alt="lamb kebab" /></a><a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang5.jpg" title="xinjiang noodles"><img src="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dunhuang5.thumbnail.jpg" alt="xinjiang noodles" /></a></p> <table> <tr> <td><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=sourgrapes-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=1579653014&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width: 120px; height: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></td> <td><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=sourgrapes-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0393066576&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width: 120px; height: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></td> <td><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=sourgrapes-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0446580074&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width: 120px; height: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></td> <td><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=sourgrapes-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0714846961&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width: 120px; height: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></td> </tr> </table> </div> <p class="postmetadata">Posted in <a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/category/recipes/" title="View all posts in recipes" rel="category tag">recipes</a>, <a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/category/restaurants/" title="View all posts in restaurants" rel="category tag">restaurants</a> <strong>|</strong> <a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/dunhuang-xiao-ting-gansu-food-in-shanghai.html#comments" title="Comment on Dunhuang Xiao Ting - Gansu food in Shanghai">2 Comments »</a></p>  </div> <div class="post"> <h3 id="post-146"><a href="http://www.mbefooddesign.com/blog/asian-cabbage-slaw.html" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Asian Cabbage Slaw">Asian Cabbage Slaw</a></h3> <small>Saturday, March 8th, 2008</small> <div class="entry"> <p>Yummmy tasty cabbage.

<small>Sunday, March 2nd, 2008</small> <div class="entry"> <p>Based on the Iranian kuku sabzi, this is quite dense with greens and took care of some serious veg cravings, make sure to eliminate any large stalks from the herbs and spinach or to chop them very finely.</p> <p>2 Tbsp butter<br /> 1 small onion, finely chopped<br /> 1 1/2 - 2 cups washed and chopped dill<br /> 1 1/2 -2 cups washed and chopped flat leaf parsley<br /> 300-350 g washed and cleaned spinach, chopped<br /> salt to taste<br /> 5 eggs, lightly beaten</p> <p>-heat half the butter in a sautee pan large enough to hold all the greens.<br /> -fry the onion for 5 minutes on low heat until softened but not browned then add the greens and increase the heat.<br /> -salt well and cook for 3-4 minutes stirring often until the greens have wilted appreciably (should be about 1/4 of their original volume)<br /> -put the greens into a colander, spread out a bit, let drain and cool for 5 minutes.<br /> -while the greens are cooling butter a loaf pan or pie plate large enough to hold the egg&greens.<br /> -taste the greens to make sure they’re sufficiently salty (adjust if necessary) then add then to the eggs and mix thoroughly.<br /> -pour the mixture into the buttered pan.<br /> -either steam for 15-20 minutes till set or cover with aluminum foil and bake @ 350 for 20+ minutes till set.<br /> -allow to cool slightly, slice and serve.</p> <p>options/nb:<br /> -don’t cool the greens too much after their initial cooking, keeping them warm cuts down on the 2nd cooking time.<br /> -dot with butter before steaming/baking.<br /> -vary the herbs to include tarragon, chervil, basil, chives or even a small amount of fenugreek, rosemary etc..<br /> -serve with a pureed garlic sauce consisting of white vinegar, garlic, lemon zest, salt and enough sugar to balance the acidity.</p> <table> <tr> <td><iframe
