With its large size and vibrant green dumpling skin, the Emerald Prawn Dumplings (SGD $2.50) looks so appetizing. Bite into this tender minced pork and spring onions meat ball dumpling, and you get a bold burst of juicy sweet savoury salty flavours.

Topped with a small deshelled shrimp which holds good sweet shrimpy flavour, and has a juicy bite to texture. I understand the jade green colour of the thin dumpling skin is supposed to be symbolise purity, elegance, and nourishment.

The creative Unagi Buta Odango (SGD $3) is a Japanese inspired dumpling, featuring a tender slice of unagi / grilled fresh water eel, coated in sticky teriyaki sauce, laid over a bouncy tender juicy minced pork dumpling, and wrapped with a thin chewy sheet of dried seaweed. Also known as an Eel And Pork Dumpling, this tasty treat has lovely layered meaty sweet savoury salty flavours. I enjoyed this.

Their version of Lo Mai Gai (SGD $1.80), also known as Chicken With Glutinous Rice, is just average. It features sticky glutinous rice, topped with tender boneless chicken chunks and shiitake mushrooms. Has a meaty earthy savoury sweet flavour, but lacks other ingredients (such as lup cheong / dried Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, and scallions) to give it a depth of taste. As is, this is pretty one-note.
