Red Hot Chili Peppers? Nope, it’s red hot chili dumplings at @a8undance. Now there are two ways to have them: with noodles, or you could go keto & enjoy a solo show with the dumplings. Yes, these are definitely yumplings, not dumplings. Now that the obligatory dumpling pun is out of the way, we can get to dissecting these portly pork & prawn dumplings.⠀
⠀
There’s an ample amount of minced pork that’s been crammed into the delicate dumpling skin along with a snappy, satisfyingly fresh prawn. Each bite gives a deeply satisfying chew due to the massive amount of meat stuffed into each & every dumpling, and these might just be the second most satisfying dumplings in Singapore. They were steamed to perfection, but I can’t comment on the flavour & seasoning of the pork fillings due to the Sichuan spicy sauce. ⠀
⠀
The ‘red hot’ component is the main driving force behind the flavours of these dumplings. It’s spicy enough to have you taking intermittent swigs of your beer, but it definitely isn’t viciously violent. It is more numbing that spicy, with the sapid Sichuan sauce providing that familiar, pleasant numbness on your tongue with every chomp of these dumplings.⠀

For nine dollars ninety before an additional ten percent service charge, a plate of these five red hot dumplings at Abundance is a decent return on your investment.
