After walking what seems like ten miles, we finally found Shipin Jie. Why didn't we take a cab, you ask? The people I asked for directions said that the place is very near after pointing to the direction in which we should walk. (in Tagalog: dyan lang...) I should have known better to take their word for it. Their definition of near is nowhere near mine's.
We checked out several restaurants before settling to the one near the stairs (on the second floor). Our main requirement is that it should have dumplings on the picture menu. The food's pretty cheap - we just paid 26 kuai each for several dishes and a big coke.
There are other delicacies sold here some of which I saw for the first time. They also have bagoong alamang (definitely worth coming back for), and they have lots and lots of candies!
We didn't buy any mahua (fried dough twists) but people say that Tianjin is really famous for it.
