So you’re down with Sydney’s ‘newfangled’ Chinese regional cuisines, and you’ve dabbled in the odddegustation? Before coming to this six course Wine & Dumpling Degustation ($69/head) I suggest you castyour mind backwards to recall what made those eschewed Cantonese meals of yesteryear so great. My eyesused to boggle as the banquet descended. “Hands off the Lazy Susan,” adults warned in crescendo.Yes, it’sexcess and decadence – the chance to feast like a king. So when all six wines arrive at once here, your bestresponse is to grin! Use the opportunity to make your own matches, but don’t miss trying their cold dish platterpairing of moist, drunken chicken and crisp garlic tossed cucumber against the 2011 Leo Buring ClareValley Riesling. Food is also somewhat rapid-fire, with a bamboo steamer of dim sim descending before I’deven tried my battalion of wine (the 2010 Squealing Pig Otago Pinot Noir is an easy favourite). Tipsy dinersbeware – xiao long bao (steamed mini pork buns) are best nibbled from a spoon dribbled in soy and vinegar,there’s hot broth within. Shepherd’s purse, prawn and tofu soup pulls things back before sticky braisedpork belly convinces me to finish both reds. Designate a driver.

Yes, it’s excess and decadence - the chance to feast like a king. So when all six wines arrive at once here, your best responseis to grin! (Please look to my charming dining companion as a shining example. She is not an alcoholic.)

Wine and Dumpling DinnerHTTP/1.1 Access Denied

We sample New Shanghai's deliciousWine & Dumpling Dinner.

Usually when we head to our favouriteyum cha haunt to feast on dumplings, welike to wash our meal down with an icecold beer.

So when we haerd about New Shanghai’s Wine and Dumpling Dinner, weadmit to being rather excited about this tasty pairing. Wine and dumplings -what’s not to love?

On offer at their Chatswood Chase and Charlestown restaurants from 6pmeach night, the dinner brings together six courses of delicious Shanghai-style cuisine.

This includes New Shanghai's famous crispy, soupy 'Pan Fried Pork Buns’,and the tender soy sauce braised pork belly. Simply divine!

Each course has been matched with a wine from New Shanghai’s brandnew wine list, hand picked to perfectly complement the flavour of each dish. Be warned though – you had better bring your appetite and ideally, leaveyour car at home!

Kicking off the menu is a Mix Cold Dish starter of Shredded kelp with spiceand vinegar dressing, chopped cucumber with garlic and Drunken Chicken -that’s been matched with a 2011 Leo Buring Clare Riesling.

Next up comes New Shanghai Xiao Long Bao (Steamed mini pork bun), pluscrab meat and pork and vegetarian dumplings alongside a refreshing 2010Angel Cove Marlborough Sav Blanc.

At this point, we were almost ready for dessert but still had 4 more coursesto tuck into – and who were we to decline?

Along with a Shepherds purse and pork wonton tossed with sesame butter,

What do you think?

red chilli oil and spice, were more delicious pan-fried dumplings, anirresistible prawn and tofu soup and the main event of braised pork belly anddeep-fried chicken – matched with a Squealing Pig Otagao Pinot.

The dinner is a steal at just $65/head (which includes six courses withmatching wines), and is available for a limited time - so don’t miss out!
