DaXi 大喜 (VivoCity)

I ordered the home-brewed chicken superior broth with original dumplings on 29 June at this outlet. I bit into one dumpling and chewed on something hard. I thought maybe it is pork bone, but it turned out to be a hand. If children and elderly are eating it please exercise caution!

We had Braised Chinese Cabbage ($7.80). It is nothing too complicated, but the natural sweetness of the soft cabbages comes through - this is simple but comforting.

The Scallion Oil with Chicken Dry Noodle ($13.80) is not bad - the chicken is tender and the noodles are not too soft. Although the sauce is a tad sweet, it is generally quite aromatic and it complements the noodles and the chicken.

The Fragrant Mala Pork Dumpling (5 pcs - $11.80) features tasty pork filling wrapped in thin dumpling skin. However, it’s a pity that the vinegar is too overpowering for me.

I have always wanted to try out Taiwanese restaurant DaXi and I finally did so recently. Although they are known for their dumpling, I was actually most surprised and impressed by the Taiwanese Lu Rou Fan ($5.80) as the chopped pork belly that is ladled over the short-grain rice is savoury, aromatic and very soft - so good!

Wahaha indulgent and can't go wrong.
