The MULTI-COLOURED XIAO LONG BAO was fun to look at as well as try! This dish came with 6 different types of Xiao Long Bao and each was unique in its own way. There was a red spicy one (quite different from normal baos), a yellow one (tasted just like normal), a green veggie one (not the best, lacking in soup inside), two normal tasting ones. But, the best one was the black truffle and mushroom one! It had slight hints of truffle which actually go quite well with the xiao long bao! Next time I would only get this one (or maybe the spicy one).
The GIANT XIAO LONG BAO was not worth it. At almost $8, it was not as big as the BlogTO post, and was not very flavourful either. The skin is very thick and doughy. The concept is good, but xiao long bao should be 'xiao'.
GREEN ONION PANCAKE was delicious and inexpensive.
STIR-FRIED EGG WHITE WITH SCALLOP AND CONPOY was our vegetable portion of the meal. Was not worth it, as it is expensive and not very flavourful. Could use way more seasoning.
(Price:)
The MULTI-COLOURED XIAO LONG BAO: Around $7.50
The GIANT XIAO LONG BAO: $7.99
DEEP FRIED ONION PANCAKE: $4.09
STIR-FRIED EGG WHITE WITH SCALLOP AND CONPOY: $15.99
(Service:) Pretty bad, considering how few people there were. The servers looked frazzled and we really had to signal to them each time we wanted something else. Even trying to pay, they did not notice us standing by the counter until minutes later.
(Comparable:) The price is pretty on par with places like Asian Legend, and maybe a bit more expensive than most dim sum places. It is definitely worth trying, as their dishes have a twist on the traditional. Definitely the Truffle Xiao Long Bao is worth going to try at least.
