Some New Food Pictures at Shanghai Ding, Penang
| I haven't done telling you all the stories about my recent trip to Penang, Malaysia--all the foods I devoured, my fun little getaway and other escapades, but I will share with you some food porn today--a small food photography project that I did for my sponsor Shanghai Ding /上海鼎 in Penang, Malaysia. 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. Other than the location near Queensbay Mall, Shanghai Ding /上海鼎 has recently opened up their second branch at the New World Park (next to Swatow Lane) in Penang. Shanghai Ding /上海鼎 (NEW BRANCH) 102-E-3, New World Park Jalan Burmah, 10500 Penang Main Branch (at the right hand corner shop before Queensbay Mall) Blk H, 4G, Persiaran Bayan Indah, Bayan Bay, 11900 Penang Tel: 04-644-1644 Check it out and let me know what you think of my photography project... (note: it was raining and not a lot of sun when the photo shoot took place; sun really is the secret ingredient to very good photography!). Related Posts: Labels: Random, Restaurant Reviews |

post a commenteverything looks so delicious :)
i am amused by the fried rice that's in a heart shape.
the braise pork's looking good too! but only a bit for me, i will just nibble a tidy bit of it. :-P
Can we quote your name and get a discount?? I've not been to this Ding Dai Foong before, not even in Queensbay.
Ohhh again? I couldn't resist those...
How do we make #6 & #7?
Thanks,
S
great pictures! good work. everything looks yummy!!
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?
those are brilliant pics as there r..whether sunlight or no sunlight..
Hi there, paying a visit to your blog, those picture sure look professional
bye
wow! your photos are fab! lovely site you have here (still going through all your recipes etc..heehee). thanks for dropping a comment on mine...i've just updated again on Mizi Bistro.. :)
Love the food porn! Can I come and learn in your kitchen?
the braised pork belly is calling my name.
Great looking photos Bee! Must be good eating too!
I went to Penang, it was so amazing! everytime you speak about this town, i remember my trip to Asia...ah. anyway, i have not seen such nice thing when I was...you should be with us ;-) cheers
Those are some fantastic food macros !!! gr8 photography. I love radish cakes ...they look superb stir fried and even the shrimp and mango balls intrigue me. Never had those before.
Well done Rasa ...!
i want to chomp on your food pictures. :D they look very delish.
Wow - great shots!!!
With your professional shots, can't tell whether it's raining or not lah! :)
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. :)
Snapshots - thanks and welcome to Rasa Malaysia. See you back soon.
Lingzie - thanks for your comment...I love your site too, full of great guides of Penang food. Good job!
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.
Steamy - thanks!
Tiga - can lah...some pictures are a little dark...what to do?
Durianberry - thank you. Leave me more comments in the future, yeah, I love Shanghai Ding Durian pancake too...very tasty I love it. :)
I passed this Shanghai Ding restaurant sooo many times but never thought of trying it. But after looking at your wonderfully taken photos, I think I gotta try it now!!
Really really nice photos!
As usual, glossy food mag quality pix!
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!
Oh my God, those look so delicious!
I...err...I...I love You!
was in penang 2 weeks ago and missed new world Park, will try it during my next visit in december.
the pictures are absolutely beautiful! Will definitely try this during my next trip to Penang!
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 -_-
