There's a whole bunch of spots to eat in New World Mall, but this is one of our favorite stalls to get pan-fried pork buns! They're Shanghainese sheng jian baos, filled with hot soup. They’re juicy, flavorful, filling, and freshly made in front of you. I love seeing that huge pan of rotating buns as well. While the top is soft and fluffy, the bottom is crispy, crunchy, and toasted. You can enjoy the soupy pork bun with vinegar, chili oil, or just by itself. Eat these very carefully, like a soup dumpling! PanBao66 六六生煎王 (inside New World Mall) (136-20 Roosevelt Ave, Flushing, NY 11354) Open daily 10am-8:30pm

Stopped by Pan Bao 66 for a quick bite and the pork fried buns did not disappoint — crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Super casual pick-up-and-go spot, but absolutely worth a stop while in Flushing!

The only food worth returning to Flushing for singularly. Otherwise c town in Manhattan covers it. It’s the best of steam and crispy and soupy dumplings.

Freshly made but long wait (more than 10-15 minutes). Great technique: good amt of soup and crispy bottom. The taste of the filling is just OK. I prefer the Shanghai style of a very thick bottom bun - almost 3/4” so this one is very thin. 6 for $9, 8 for $11. A bit of a wait. Apple Pay, credit card at same rate as cash. Dec 2024

The pan fried buns here are pretty good. I still prefer my spot in Manhattan; but these prices can't be beat. The filling is generous and soup in the buns, tasty. I prefer a thicker, fluffier wrap; but for this price, I'm still happy with what I got.

I was there few week ago,The bao was ok, but the experience at the counter was quite unpleasant. The older lady at the cashier who seemed to be the boss, had a cold, unfriendly attitude. I stood in front of her for 2~3 minutes while she looked at me, then looked away, saying absolutely nothing. No greetings just ignoring .I approached her to place my order, and she continued ignoring me as if I wasn’t even there. Another staff member stepped in to take over the order processed , while she still silently took my money without even eye contact. I asked the staff if maybe they were just too busy, and that’s why she (the boss) acted so cold or arrogant?!. Or maybe business is doing so well now that basic manners become optional. If you are the boss , remember ,without customers you are absolutely nothing !

very delicious pan fried soup dumpling and very cheap! it’s located inside New World mall eatery. The actual name of the restaurant is different so it was hard to find. The eatery cafeteria was very crowded ahd no AC blowing.

The store is located in the food court on the Lower Level of the New World Mall. They only took cash when I visited so I would prepare some. I was lucky enough to get some right after they just finished a batch so I didn't need to wait for long. Tasty, moist pork filling and hot, flavorful broth wrapped inside satisfyingly chewy wrappers with a golden crispy bottom. I recommend having these dumplings with some vinegar to cut the richness since it got a bit too fatty for me after a few (very good) bites.

If you're wandering through the bustling food court of New World Mall and catch the irresistible aroma of sizzling buns, follow your nose straight to Liu Liu Sheng Jian -- a humble food stall that serves up what can only be described as a juicy explosion of goodness! Their Sheng Jian Baos (pan-fried buns) are a must get! Each plump little bun is a perfect balance of textures -- a lightly crisped golden bottom with a soft, pillowy top that gives way to a burst of savory, flavorful meat juice the moment you take a bite. The filling is tender, rich, and packed with umami depth that makes it impossible to stop at just one. These buns are best enjoyed fresh off the griddle. Once they cool, they lose a bit of that magical juiciness -- so eat them hot and be prepared for that glorious first bite where the broth spills out like liquid gold. I always eat these black vinegar and chili oil they provide by the counter. The sharp tang of the vinegar perfectly cuts through the fattiness of the pork filling, while the chili oil adds just the right amount of heat and depth. Together, they create the ultimate dipping combo that elevates each bite. Whether you're a longtime fan of Shanghai-style buns or trying them for the first time, Liu Liu Sheng Jian delivers a truly satisfying experience. Simple, authentic, and bursting with flavor -- these pan-fried beauties are a must-try next time you're at New World Mall.

This stall is located in the Food Court at New World Mall, and their main specialty is the Sheng Jian Bao (pan-fried buns). I always get these every time I visit. If I had to describe their Sheng Jian Bao in two words: juicy explosion! They're absolutely best eaten fresh and hot on-site; once they cool down, they lose some of that magic. The moment you take a bite, the meat juice bursts out immediately -- incredibly flavorful and tender, making it impossible to stop at just one. The bottoms are lightly pan-fried to a slight crisp, and the bun exterior is just right -- not too soft, not too hard. The meat inside is fresh, sweet, and delicious. Every bite feels satisfying, and I often make a special trip just to have them. I always pair them with the black vinegar and chili oil they provide. The black vinegar is standard, nothing special, but the chili oil is excellent -- not too spicy, with a fragrant aroma that clearly feels homemade rather than store-bought. Together, they make the perfect accompaniment to the Sheng Jian Bao. The price has increased slightly recently, but it doesn't stop me from coming back for their Sheng Jian Bao. The Food Court environment is basic, and there's no special service or hygiene attention, but if you're here for authentic Sheng Jian Bao, it's definitely worth trying.

The pan fried buns here are a must get! They're perfectly crispy on the bottom and full of hot, flavorful broth, be careful when you bite in because it can be super hot. I usually get the combo with the noodle soup and it always hits the spot. There's usually a line but it moves quickly, maybe 5-10 minutes at most.

The pan fried dumpling was quite good, with the right amount of crispiness, volume, juiciness. Lots of flavors and lost of goodness. The Beef noodle soup, however, felt very flat, with little to get excited about. It's as if the noodles are just generic, pre-packaged noodles. The north could be more savory, too. You really need a lot of help with the chili oil to make it taste decent.

Super yummy and fresh bao! Loved it super hot with lots of juice and the wrapper and filling are both super flavorful and well cooked!! Chili oil is ++ too. This is located in new world mall so seating is just food court seating. There can be a line so a bit of a wait too sometimes.

The best pork buns I have eaten in years! A generous serving of pork served hot, crisp and juicy! Service is fast. It is a basement food court; plenty clean enough.

Every time we come to flushing we get this now! I was introduce by Instagram and my sister. The Vinager soy sauce is so delicious. They make this in front of you. 8pc of pan fried dumplings for $12 is not bad at all. This place is the food court in the corner and cannot be skipped at all!

So yum! $10 for 6, and they're hefty. Make sure to eat with a spoon bc there's a lot of broth in the buns as well as meat filling!

So so so good! Probably one of the best things that Flushing has to offer. The buns are steaming, piping hot filled with delicious soup. The meat is perfect, not too fatty not too lean. The bottom of the bun is crispy.. just perfection. Service is fast. They have the buns cooking on 3 different large pans right in front of you. We come here at least once or twice a month. I do notice that sometimes the buns have less soup than other times. It probably depends on who is making them. Not a fan of their zhajiangmian - a little too much vinegar for me. No frills, cash only type of place.

Got their 6 Shanghai Pan Fried Buns. You can watch them cook them in batches on the spot. They're juicy and have that nice signature fried bun bottom. Don't forget to grab dipping sauce. Staff are quick and food comes out still piping hot. This food stall is located at the bottom floor food court among other Chinese food options in a large mall. Keep in mind cell service is virtually nonexistent down there so plan ahead.

I've been on the hunt for a good sheng jian bao after having really juicy ones in Japan. For $10 you got 6 baos which were filled with juices. Also, don't sleep on the chili sauce! It was a delicious compliment for the baos. I shared the 6 baos with a friend and while I was starving before, it definitely filled us up. I think if we got a few more, we would've been set for dinner. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Flushing. They have 3 big woks of these going at a time in the food court, so service is super quick. So far, these are the best I've had in NYC but I'm still on the hunt for more. But I would definitely come back.

Super crowded super juicy super hot super popular. That about sums up this food stall lol My friend took me here when we were going on our food tour and they said this was the best pan fried buns in the city and they weren't wrong. Be careful when you eat it because they come piping hot with juices. You eat it with the soy sauce and chili and sip the broth first. Proceed with caution because you'll sweat eating this on a hot hot day. I have zero regrets it was one to the best things I've ate on my trip to NY.

I could honestly rate this 100 stars if given the option - I have a had a streak of okay pan fried pork buns but this one no doubt was the best pan fried pork soup buns I have ever had! 6 for $10 is a great deal and you really have to watch out for your tongue because the soup is so incredibly hot but rich! I drizzle it with vinegar and chili oil and it is the perfect combination. I can't wait for every time I go to flushing so I can grab 6 of these each time!

There is always a line and always a wait. If you are okay with waiting 20 minutes, you are guaranteed a plate of sizzling and delicious fried buns. They were extremely juicy but burnt my tongues because they were right out of the plate.

Incredible. Fried buns with juice and soup gushing out of them as you bite. Grab a spoon because these will be dripping with meaty goodness. I stopped by this place on a mini food tour of flushing and I can't believe how good these buns were and how discrete this place is. It's in the corner of a downstairs food court. I wouldn't have known to check this out without a friend of mine guiding me, but I think it's starting to make its way to social media. It's 6 for 8, or 8 for 10. Bring cash

This is my favorite pan fried soup Dumpling place. The dumplings are fresh and flavorful, and cooked perfectly with the crispy bottom. They have the sauce station on the side with to-go containers for the vinegar or hot chili oil. BEWARE: do not go during "rush hour" (lunch time, dinner time). The line can get long and the wait ends up being 15-20 mins. Worth the wait but you will be starving on line. There are plenty of other stalls you can visit in between. The food court is quite busy during certain times but you can usually find a seat if you walk around a few times. It can get loud in there but its a pretty "regular food court" vibe.

I saw this place online and had been craving authentic sheng jian bao for a while. It's located in the mall, and is one of the stalls that actually accepts credit card. We got a total of 16 buns, and they all came fresh and hot. You can watch them cooking and spinning right in front of you! The flavor of the soup and pork was good, but the dough was a little thick imo. It also didn't have the super crispy bottom like I'd expect from the more authentic places. Nonetheless, it did satisfy the cravings.

Delicious fried soup dumplings!! It was so good, I come back Everytime I'm in flushing. They unfortunately only take cash tho last time I paid with card not sure why they changed it. Super hot soup so be careful when eating it but sooo delicious

This place has the best sheng jian baos in NYC - no competition. I've never had a bad experience here and whenever I'm in flushing, I MUST stop by here. Their baos are crispy, fresh, HOT, and flavorful. The only time i've had comparable shenjianbaos were in Asia, even then, these might have been better. If you're at the food court, I'd say this should be your first stop. Everything else is optional, but this spot is a MUST. 10$ for 6, service is fast and food is indescribably delicious. They have chili sauce and vinegar as condiments, very no frills - but what more can you ask when you get to eat the best baos ever?

So great I can finally write a review for one of my favorite sheng jian bao places in the US! This is one of the most popular food stalls at New World Mall and for good reason too. When you arrive, you order at the front counter before you get the food immediately at the counter right next to it. We ordered 8 sheng jian baos for two and I wish we ordered more. Each bao comes piping hot with so much soup on the inside. Although the skin is on the thicker side, I love that the outside is more crispy with this almost burnt taste and texture to it while the inside is extremely soft. The meat filling is delicious and it didn't feel too heavy as most of the time when I eat this dish I need to have it with vinegar. Overall, one of my most recommended eats in New World Mall basement.

Liu Liu Sheng Jian is located in the basement food court of New World Mall. There's no service and the tables are crowded, though not impossible to find a seat on a Saturday afternoon. There was only a couple folks in line to order, but they hand you a receipt with a number and that's when the actual wait begins. They call numbers out before loading you up with fresh sheng jian bao straight from the pan. Sheng Jian Bao (4.5/5): The skin is thin, but has a nice bit of chew. Beautifully crispy bottom and the inside is just as juicy as a soup dumpling. Generous with the pork, which is seasoned to perfection and the bit of scallions adds a bit of freshness as well. Definitely worth swinging by in Flushing and probably as good as it gets in the states.

This is my favorite pan fried pork buns in NYC! People are constantly ordering so they're constantly making new ones, while the line moves fast!

Coming here is a total vibe. If you've ever been to China or Taiwan, this is the closest you'll get to the street food and night market scene in NY. Come hungry because this is probably not the only place you'll want to try here. Located in the basement of the New World Mall is a bustling food court of approx 30 hawkers. Liu Liu Sheng Jian is one of the more popular stalls, you can spot them pretty easily in one of the corners of the place. You'll see their pan friend pork buns cooking in rotating pans on display for all to see and smell. Orders are plucked directly from the pan so they are piping hot. The trick is to bite or poke a hole in the bun, drink some of the juice inside and then carefully bite. Be mindful of the hole, hot juices will come squirting out from there. Now why is this sounding dirty? Anyways, pan fried pork buns are a Shanghainese classic and they do it well!

A must if you are in New World Mall. The bao buns are so good! And you can see how they cook it. Location: It is located at the basement of New World Mall. It is stall number 29! Lot of seatings because it's a food court. It can be crowded! Service: not that much interaction. I ordered and wait for my order. Food: only thing is that the menu is in Chinese. I just pointed what I want and not sure if there is other varieties of the bao. PAN BAO: not sure it this what it is called all I know is that its delicious. The bun was soft and the pork filling was flavorful and it has mild soup inside. The bottom of the bao is very crispy. Price rating: 6/10 price range. I paid $11 for 8 pan bao. Not bad cause it's filling. I will definitely come back here because the bao buns ate the best I had. Will try the soup they have next!

During a recent self-organized Flushing dumpling crawl, we concluded our tour at the New World Mall food court with some soup dumplings (from another stall) and shen jian bao from Liu Liu Sheng Jian. Of the various dumplings and baos we sampled (6-7 establishments in total), these were my personal fave. Consistent with the general New World Mall experience, the situation here is a bit chaotic. You order at the register (and decide if you want a smaller 6-piece or larger 8-piece portion), then awkwardly stand around trying to not be in everyone else's way while you await your buns. Fortunately, your purchase comes with a built-in show, as you watch the folks behind the counter expertly load, grease, steam, and serve plate after plate of gloriously glistening baos. Once you pick up your order, be sure to snag condiments (availability seems hit-or-miss) at the counter to the right of the steamer trays, along with utensils and napkins. Finally, good luck finding seating to enjoy your starch-wrapped prize. May the odds be ever in your favor. The baos themselves are pretty flawless, with crispy, crusty, caramelized bottoms and fluffy, pillowy, chewy tops filled with moist, brothy pork. Be careful, as they're essentially soup dumplings. We definitely had some accidents, with fatty meat juice splashing hither and yon as we inexpertly bit into our buns. Fortunately, no one sustained serious injuries, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our snack.

Definitely a must visit when going to New World Mall! Perfect for anyone craving pan fried buns, the crispy bottom is perfectly golden, while the bread itself is still soft and fluffy. While these soup dumplings don't have an overwhelming amount of juice inside, the well-seasoned meat filling more than makes up for it with its rich, savory flavor. Don't forget to grab some chilli oil and vinegar to eat it with Service is fast and efficient, making it a great grab-and-go option in the busy food court. It is extremely affordable and filling with 6 buns for 9.99! Would recommend!

The sheng jian baos at this new world mall food court stall do not disappoint. I've ordered these on multiple occasions and they are always fresh, piping hot, and super juicy. The workers may seem a bit intimidating but I was able to order with no problem in English. I was glad to see that they also take credit card. They offer vinegar and a spicy chili oil for the baos, which I gladly used for my meal. Even though these baos don't look like much on the outside, each dumpling was filled with pork broth and was steaming hot. I enjoyed the delicious pork filling and the crunch of the baos, which is pretty hard to master. Its always a struggle to eat them in a way where you don't lose any soup but it's part of the fun. This is definitely my go to spot for my sheng jian bao cravings and would recommend to all.

Probably the best 生煎包 sheng jian baos I've had in the US?! Heard about this place and knew I had to stop by the next time I was in Flushing! Don't know what I was really expecting, but it exceeded them. Each bite was filled with tasty soup. The pork meat is tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. Appreciated the meat to fat ratio. Loved how the bottom is nicely fried and charred, which gives it a nice crunch! Appreciated how the bun itself isn't too thick or doughy. Taken together I wish I ordered more because they were delicious! I love how they fried them right in front of you so they come out hot and sizzling. Staff are very kind. A small portion includes 6 buns, while the large has 8. You can also get a combo with glass noodles which offered a nice clear broth and perfect for the winter.

Of course this stall went viral after a few influencers posted about it. Now there's always a line for their sheng jian baos. I have to admit, they're really fresh and juicy. I never used to be a fan because of the thick dough, but the crispy bottom totally makes up for it. They're so flavorful and definitely live up to the hype. Just don't forget the vinegar--it balances everything. So good!

One of the most authentic renditions of Shanghainese "Sheng Jian Bao" that I've had in the United States. These can be thought of as the pan-fried cousin to the more popular steamed soup dumpling ("xiao long bao"). These dumplings featured a thin wrapper, juicy filling, and crispy base. Be aware, these are pretty rich and greasy, definitely a heart snack. Highly recommend you check out this vendor if you find yourself in the New World Mall food court.

Late to the party but better late than never! The stall is located in the corner of the New World Mall food court and I never paid it much attention until recently. I've seen tons of recs for it and finally gave it a try. Their specialty is the panfried buns and you can see it being churned out constantly from the hot cooktops right in front of you. There are other items too but the buns take center stage for sure. The buns are panfried to a crisp and filled with hot and juicy pork filling in the middle. The textural contrast is amazing and you can pair it with some of their chili oil for a little bit of heat. I've visited twice in a week and I still crave it. Hmm, amazing buns for sure.

Ordered the cooked, the frozen, and whatever else they had. I know its called Sheng Jian baos. But, im sorry this is what a "wall-teep" should be like! Not sure if you haven't notice. Not many asian places even make it like that anymore. I feel like its been rebranded and now its on a "higher end" kind of deal. But that's just my random thoughts. On to the soupy pan fried dumplings. First off. The flavors, the explosion in your mouths of juices flowing says it all! Is it expensive. It's a bit on the pricey side but still well worth it! One order of these bad boys will definitely keep you filled. It was so good. I didn't even get to take a photo! Which is a rarity! But you gots to eat it hot and fresh! Heck! Scratch that! I bought frozen ones and made some at home with the pan and THEN air fried it all around OOoohh MAhHhh GAwWWd. PORNO in your mouth. That's all I'm saying. Definitely a recommend. Not over hyped! Just the truth! Selfishly I didn't even want to write about it. Keep it on the DL... But the TRUTH MUST COME OUT!

One of the most popular spots in the New World Mall Food Court known for the sheng jian baos or pan fried dumplings. There's a bit of a line, so good to come with others and have someone else find a table while one waits in line to order. We got the order of 6 sheng jian baos for $8.99. The buns are piping hot, so be careful when eating them right away. Plus, be warned that juices will come squirting out, so gently take a small bite and drink up the juice first. They also have a chili sauce and vinegar to add. The chili sauce is actually very spicy, but gave it so much flavor. Overall, solid pan fried buns that are great for sharing to have one or two during a Flushing food crawl.

Couldn't ask for a better Sheng Jian Bao. Super crispy on the bottom, plenty of broth, nice porky flavor. These things come out like lava hot though, so make sure you take your time.

Everytime when I'm in Flushing and craving for fried buns, this is the place for it! You can see them making it. These buns are always served fresh and hot, and are very affordable, with sets of six or eight buns priced around $9 to $11. It tastes flavorful with their pork filling and savory broth. Pan Bao 66 is located in the New World Mall food court in Flushing. The wait doesn't take that long and good service. It's a great spot to try if you're in the area and looking for tasty, freshly made fried pork buns. Inside the New World Mall, they also have different food courts serving different kinds of food. It's spacious inside with plenty of seatings as well.

Stopped by about an hour before closing and grabbed a few buns to go. They were already made and seemed like they had been sitting on the pan for a bit, so I didn't expect much. I ate them about 30 minutes later and they were still piping hot, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, if they're this good as takeout, I can only imagine how incredible they'd be made fresh to order. Definitely worth the hype it's been getting on social media. Will be back to try it fresh next time!

The shengjian bao were delicious as expected, but the combos feel like a scam. Probably the most pitiful bowl of soup noodles I've had - not worth the additional cost or wait. You'd think you're getting a deal, but just spend a few more dollars and get noodles anywhere else. I want to reiterate that their speciality, the shengjianbaos, were great. I'd gladly come back for more. Be sure to eat them with the black vinegar if it's your first time.

They serve some of the best shen jian bao outside of Shanghai!!! $9 for 6 or $11 for 8. They come out piping hot so watch out for the hot soup inside! The filling is juicy, soup has a good taste, and the skin is nice and crispy on the bottom. Everything is made fresh right in front of you, and it's served to you right off the pan. It took ~10 minutes for them to call my order since there was a pretty long line around noon on a Saturday. This place is in the basement food court of the New World Mall, so it's kind of chaotic and hard to find a seat. But honestly it's all so worth it for these buns. I'm going to be thinking about these for a while - I'll be back here every time I'm in Flushing.

There are already a ton of reviews noting how amazing these bao are, and this is one more to add to the pile! The service is quick and, while you wait, you can watch the big trays of these bao spin slowly around in their oil bath. Mmmmnnn. Honestly, the most important thing to keep in mind as you sit down with a plate fill of six of these bad boys is that they are HOT inside. Really, really hot. So poke a hole in the top, blow a bit if you have no shame, and then bite away. Wow. Just wow. Enjoy

$9 for 6 PERFECTLY fried Shen jian bao (pan fried bao). You can find this place in the new world mall food court. Down the escalator, dead ahead and on your right hand side. Owner is nice, and gets your food out to you practically instantly. Those bao are super fresh and hot. I always burn my tongue, but they're just too good to wait. They have an amazingly crispy, crunchy bottom, and are filled with flavorful juicy meat and soup (this is what usually burns my mouth, so be careful). They have chili oil and black vinegar as self service. It's standard, and the chili oil is decently spicy. I think this is likely one of my favorite Shen jian bao in the city, and definitely one of the best stalls in new world mall! Highly recommend everyone to go try it out

Amazing Sheng Jian baos. They were juicy and packed with flavor. They only offer pork filling- 8 pcs for $12. Add the hot sauce, you will not be disappointed.

These are NOT the best, authentic pan fried soupy buns/sheng jian bao 生煎包 in New York City at all; they are ok for those who never had pan fried soupy buns, but they're not the authentic, Shanghai-style kind: 1. The skin is not as thin and too soft. The delicious kind has thin skin and a bit chewy still and holds up the soup inside well. 2. Bottom is not on par with being crunchy. I've had great ones has a thick, crunchy bottom. 3. Too big: Yes lol these are too big but hey for the money value, sure. The authentic kinds are not this big. Overall: It's a vendor located in the basement of New World Mall. It could take some time to wait for your order if they just ran out. The ambiance is usually busy and crowded: You will have to try your luck to find a spot to sit down. FYI There is a place nearby in Flushing that serves a pan-fried soupy bun that's closer to the authentic kind.

ABSOLUTELY divine spot for pan fried soup bao (shenjian bao)! This spot is located in New World Mall, so you know it's going to be chaotic and messy and hard to find seating... yet it is always worth it. This spot is cash-only, and are a wonderful deal ($9 for 6, or you can get more for an even better deal) and the bao's are made fresh in front of you! It's a wonderful food to split with friends, though it does contain pork as an fyi. The service is friendly, though it definitely helps to know some Chinese. The stuffing is incredibly flavorful and juicy, which contrasts nicely with the crispy skin of the bao. They also have vinegar to cut through the fattiness of the filling. One complaint I have about bao's sometimes is that the skin is too thick and that the stuffing is too little, but this spot definitely doesn't have that issue. Would come here again and again!

This place is the reason I make the trek to flushing. It's $12 for 8 buns. The buns are piping hot every time I've gotten it. It's so juicy and the filling is so well seasoned. The skin is fried at the bottom, so good! This place is worth the hype that they get.

Located in New World mall food court, this is a must-try. I've seen so many pictures and videos of Liu Liu Sheng Jian's famous pan-fried dumplings and came by just to try it. You can get a small serving of their dumplings for ~$10, and it comes out immediately. The dumplings are so crispy on the outside, fairly doughy, and EXTREMELY juicy and filled with juices/soup. So comforting and delicious.

Yes yes yes yes yes. Try this place!! Located in the food court of new world mall, just walk straight to the bank after you head out of the escalator. It's in a good court so plenty of seatings and open space in the basement. Place is definition not the most well kept, esp at the self service sauce area. But do they do the pan fried dumplings right. They have the dumplings, or you can order with combo sets too. Tried the combo with curry soup noodle but the combo 3 paired way better ($15). The dumplingsssssssssssss. Think of a thicker skin soup dumpling with crispy bottom. The skin is not too thick with the bottom crispy, not too hard. And the soup! It's got so much flavor and umami but not too rich where you'll get tired if it fast. We had to get another set. As for the noodles, from the combo 3. Not a great amount of glass noodles. But the soup goes great with the pan fried dumplings. There's also two soft looking dumplings which are actually fried gluten for those who want to get more (we did get more from the upstairs supermarket). These from Pan Bao 66 are filled with meet, seems a bit gamey so maybe beef or lamb. All in all definitely give this a try. I was very pleasantly surprised and will be coming back soon.

Awesome pan fried pork bar stall located inside New World Food Court. It's probably the only stall that we visit every time we come. Prices have crept up over the years, but these baos always hit the spot. The buns are kept hot on a giant pan which gives them an ultra crispy bottom. They're filled with a fatty pork filling which becomes a little liquidy like a soup dumpling, so be careful when biting into them! I like to take a small nibble and try to slurp out the juices so that I can safely bite into the bao. They're salty and savory. You can top them with chili oil to your preferred spiciness level. It was $9 for 6 baos as of this review. Service is very quick.
