Came to Ding Tele after reading an article on ST, where the journalist was raving how close the food was compared to Shanghai. The pan-fried crispy pork soup bun (生煎包) is indeed SUPERB! $4.80 for 4 crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside buns! I agree that it's really hard to get 生煎包 this good in SG. If you want a taste of Shanghai. I highly recommend this. Also, I ordered the signature 小龙包 ($4.80 for 5 pieces)-- the inside is juicy but the skin is simply too thick. You are better off going to DTF. The noodles are really mediocre. The noodles with pork (大排面) ($7.50) gave generous serving of the pork and noodles but the pork taste so bad that I only ate the noodles. Be warned that it is super difficult to find a parking lot >.<
