Supposedly a 小笼包 buffet but it’s so much more than that! On top of the endless baskets of XLB, each diner is entitled to 1 bowl of ✨拉面, 1 basket of ✨assorted XLB (inclusive of chili crab, salted egg and mushroom) and other ✨cold dishes such as jellyfish, tofu w/ century egg and black fungus. The highlight for me was the ✨chili crab XLB; beneath the meticulous folds, its inside was packed with shreds of crab meat, bathed in a sweet and spicy broth that carried the homely flavour of chili crab! Our choice of 拉面 was on point as well: they were extremely generous with the abalones, which -when coupled with the scallion oil- was THE definition of umami!! On the other end of the spectrum, the simple double boiled chicken soup did not disappoint; stock was thick and rich with the flavour of chicken, containing tender bits that easily fell off the bone. And needless to say, we stuffed ourselves on the delicious original flavour XLBs as well!!! ‘Twas a truly decadent feast that night!
