"The legendary soup dumpling restaurant from Taiwan lives up to its global reputation in the Westfield UTC mall. When diners first walk into the dumpling mecca, they can marvel at the rigorous dumpling-making process in the kitchen window. Pair the Kurobuta pork soup dumplings (also called xiao long bao or XLB) with the pear lychee martini made with whole lychees. Chicken xiao long bao is also an alternative. Cap off the meal with the chocolate-filled XLB for dessert. Starting November 23, the restaurant will be retailing dumpling-inspired holiday gifts including clip-on plushies of its mascots, Bao Bao and Shao Mai, and a pair of holiday ornaments fashioned after a xiao long bao in a steamer basket and the brand’s iconic takeout bag." - Helen I.
