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.

Ok
- Zha Jiang Mian, $3.50
chanced upon this stall at chinatown complex food centre and saw a really long queue.. only to find out it’s recommended by Michelin... must be good. indeed it was good!! Xiao long bao ($6.50 for 10 pieces, 2 baskets of 5) was freshly made. The skin was silky and smooth, meat was sweet and juicy. The dish that i like the most was the La Mian with fried bean sauce ($3.50). Pan Fried dumpling/ Guo tie ($6.50 for 10 pieces), there’s chives in it so not my thing haha prefer the xiao long bao. Where to find such high standard food at this pricing? Definitely worth trying, Do check out!
锅贴 aka pot stickers are plump and juicy with minced pork and chives.
Handmade la mian with handmade dumplings from scratch - what could be better? The meat within the dumplings tasted fresh, and I like the slightly QQ texture of the noodles.
