Mietta's Review
For dumpling addicts this is a wonderland, if a little hard to find. A doorway off one of the many China town lane ways, Camy Shanghai serves steamed or deep fried dumplings, spring onion cakes and noodles at dirt cheap prices. It's quick, cheap and casual, and much loved by Asian students, office workers, and well informed city shoppers. It is a hit with children as well.
