| - Okay, so I was really craving dumplings one day and yelp helped me find this little hole in the wall. Literally. It's beside the sketchiest alleyway ever, and tbh I wouldn't have gone near this place if it weren't for the fact that I was with friends. Don't be alarmed, though! It actually serves pretty good dumplings! I believe the store is owned by a couple--the wife btw is the sweetest lady you'll meet. She doesn't speak English very well, so it might take a few tries to communicate, but she always had a big smile on when serving us.
Review of menu items:
D02 juicy pork dumplings
You would think that D01 xiao long bao is the soup dumpling you are looking for but it's not! It's actually D02. So, they're not as beautiful as I would expect them to be but heck, they were delicious.
E04 pork and chive dumplings, pan fried
I gotta say that pan fried dumplings are my fave kind to eat! You don't really taste the chive but I guarantee that you'll notice there's no chive if it's pork only. Very flavourful filling.
E06 pork shrimp and cabbage dumplings, steamed
I really enjoyed this one too! Although I'm not a fan of cabbage, the pork and shrimp made up for it. It would've been nice if there was a chive option instead of cabbage.
E12 pork and pickled cabbage dumplings, boiled
It was quite interesting. I liked the filling (if you are a fan of pickled veggies, you too will like it), but I think I would rather have it steamed or pan fried.
F20 rolled beef pancake
Not a dumpling but more of a roll filled with pork and other veggies. Quite good!
Individually, I immensely enjoyed all of them. Only downside was that the fillings are seasoned the exact same way no matter the type of dumpling (except for the pickled cabbage). And of course, I got sick of the flavour after a while. I would deff stop by here again, but maybe only have one or two of the menu items. :)
