One of my favourite cheap eats in Auckland, Shaolin Kung Fu always satisfies!
We all know Dominion Rd is the basically the ‘Chinatown’ of Auckland with predominantly Asian restaurants along this iconic street. Spoilt for choice, it can be overwhelming picking where to eat. One of my go-to's though is Shaolin Kung Fu. The place is always quite busy and although they have three branches across AKL, I only really come to this one.
I pretty much get the same thing everyyy time I come here. First off, I’m there for the hand pulled noodles. Handpulled noodles are my absolute fave - I just LOVE the chewy texture, and Shaolin never disappoints. I also HAVE to get the spring onion pancake (葱油饼) as a side each time, it’s one of my favourite Chinese food and I haven't found many Chinese restaurants in Auckland that do them how I like them. It’s called spring onion pizza on their menu and doesn’t actually look flat like the photo (like how other places usually do their spring onion pancakes). Shaolin does them exactly the way I like it - flakey, crispy and flavourful. Please try it if you haven’t!
And last but not least, Shaolin is one of my top cheap eats in Auckland. Each bowl of noodle here (small size) was only $11.90, and will definitely be enough for one. All large size noodles are only $1 more!
