Zhong Guo La Mian Xiao Long Bao (Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre)

Little balls of soupy goodness at hawker prices! Really giving dintaifung a run for their money. We had 10 pieces of xiaolongbao for $6.50. This is definitely a must try if you’re in Chinatown.

Quite a filling bowl of noodles. Pretty good, but I think it’s nothing remarkable. Just your average bowl of zhajiangmian.

Admittedly it’s very cheap, but I probably won’t queue again for this.

This shop is really famous but I found their XLBs to be average. Other hawker centre XLBs have impressed me more in terms of juiciness and evenness of the XLB skin. As you can see in the image, the XLBs were a little misshapen.

Admittedly, it’s extremely good for its price, but I’d rather pay more to get a better XLB.

紅油抄手 Spicy Wonton - $5.00
鍋貼 Pan fried dumplings (10pcs) - $6.50
四川擔擔麵 Spicy Tantan Noodles - $4.00

Queue about 30 mins but it’s al worth it!

Choose between pure meat or meat and chinese chives

Honestly i Find most chive dumplings way too strong and this had just the perfect amount, so that your mouth wont smell too bad after the meal.

Ive never been a Fan of Minced Meat as i felt between the breadcrumbs and egg as binding agent, it really loses the natural taste of meat. However, there's a meatiness, juiciness and certain sweetness that makes this Dumpling so addictive

The layer that sticks to the pot was also super Thin and crispy

Honestly, i havent been a big Fan of Dumpling but once in a while, one comes along and blow your mind.

The simplicity of the taste profile belies the perfection of damn near every facet of the dish. From the skin, that's just Thin enough, to the sweet, juicy pork, and the vinegar, every component was so good and so addictive. The chili adds just enough kick, and the coriander amps up the fragrance.

MUST. TRY.
