Some of the best dumpling I've ever had.
Came here because the girlfriend loves her dumplings. This place is very well known for their dumplings, so we made the trek here.
We ordered a bunch of dumplings, the traditional, pan fried pork and beef dumplings, some durian puffs, some Tom yam soup, and peppered beef and veggies for protein.
Food came out at a rapid pace, we got tons of food delivered in one go. I took pics and dug in.
The pan fried dumplings were very good. The wrapper was not too thin, the meat mix was firm but not tough and spiced and seasoned well. There was a good crisp to the sear, and the instructions for making the dipping mix was welcomed.
The soup dumplings were delicious. Little pockets of seasoned pork broth were slurped up readily. The meat inside also similar to the pan fried dumplings but distinct enough to be their own item.
I really enjoyed the durian puffs. Flaky but not crispy, soft biscuit like bites of creamed durian. It has a funk, which is very distinct for that fruit. But it was a very warm creamy custard filling with a light sweetness.
The Tom yam soup was a little too sour for our liking. We ate some of it but with many other foods to try it went to the wayside.
The beef and veggies were really good too. The beef was tender, the veggies were cooked but not to the point of mush. There was still a bit of crispness to the veggies, but enough seasoning to make them feel like a prepared dish. It's very much like they took a kebab and charred it to perfection, then dressed it in vinegar and soy then plated it.
This place is busy, but for good reason. The food is great, the dumplings are awesome, and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. This is a worthwhile food stop, and worthy of its accolades
