The kitchen prepared her meal in separate pans using separate utensils and served her meal first so as to prevent any risk of cross contamination.

The queue at the New Shanghai Dumpling was way too long (About 13:10) even though it appeared that there were substantial vacant tables inside. We watched the queue for a minute or two but it wasn't moving!. So we decided to go to Fonda next door instead. The place was busy without overcrowded and wait staff were friendly.We had taco with pulled pork and fish, plus chips (fantastically fried hot of the pan!), Quesadillas with grilled chicken and charcoal grilled corn. The chips, Quesadillas and the corn were delicious. We like the place as you could carry on conversation without raising your voice, nice decor with roomy and relaxing atmosphere. We would return to this place in the near future.
