After eating at Lugang a few months back, I wasn't excited about trying out Taiwanese dishes anymore. A wants to go back one more time to try another dish (in case we just ordered the wrong "specialty").
We've known about Shi Lin for a while now, but only had a chance to try it out yesterday. Oriental-inspired lights and Chinese music welcomed us as we entered the store. The place isn't so big, but it doesn't look cramped either. The place is well-lit and wouldn't mind sitting there for a while.

nice lamps and who could resist not peeking in their open kitchen?
As we go through their menu, we found out that there is no service tea available. You have to pay Php40 for an unlimited pot refill. Not that I don't want to pay for it, but I just found it odd that a Chinese restaurant wouldn't have service tea. I placed an order since A likes to drink hot tea during meals.
The good thing about their menu is that it isn't complicated. Not a lot of dishes to offer, but this just made their game play more challenging. Reason why I said that is because, I know some restaurants would only offer a few dishes if ALL their dishes are sure fire hits (like the lumpia in Globe Lumpia House).
I forgot to take a photo of our table, but it has a laminated instruction on how to eat Xiao Long Bao. Made me think for a moment if it's worth trying, but A ordered anyway.
Their jellyfish is a must try! The dressing that they used is very nice
Pork and Vegetable in Spicy Soup
Braised Beef Noodles
Xiao Long Bao
The dishes were all tasty though A finds them a bit pricey. I would have to agree since I can consume a lot of dimsum and this would hurt my pocket hehe. Now I'm missing the dimsum from Maribeth Wong...
