You know I'd never say no to XLBs (even when I can't walk properly now 😂). A friend brought me to try this out at Yuhua Market & Food Centre last night, where I was surprised to find a queue forming continuously. Piping hot out from the steamer, these little pork soup dumplings ($4.50 for 7 pieces) had a somewhat sticky bun skin that made the picking of them harder than usual. Despite its big size and big piece of meat, each dumpling had (fortunately) very little soup that was on the sweet side.
I also had a try on their zha jiang mian ($3.50). The noodle portion was generous, but not the minced meat and the soybean paste such that the noodles end up being dry and a little plain. The diced meat was actually tasty though slightly salty, and I like my greens, so it was a good thing that there was loads of shredded cucumber.
Looks like my friend's dan dan noodles could have been a better choice!
