6 pieces. Skin was bad as before

There's a bit of crab roe taste not gonna lie but not nearly enough to impress, nor was the filling otherwise noteworthy.

It's okay-ish but their other stuff are better, like noodles and duck and original shengjianbao

Not bad at all

Pork was pretty generous and tender as well. Not too spicy. They have soy sauce base plus oil which was very flavourful when you mix everything together.

Do remove some of the oil or ask for less oil, else it's too much

Prawn and original

Skin was too thick as usual, original filling was juicy and umami like last time. Prawn was abit fishy though, plus it's one prawn with less than half the meat filling so not recommended

Came in without expecting much and I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! One of my favourites were the appetiser platter ($9.80) which consisted a variety and the best would be the drunken chicken, which was tender and you can really taste the rice wine! As for noodles we had the chilli pork noodles ($8.30) which came with a generous amount of flavourful tender pieces of meat, and the noodles were al dente and really flavourful albeit a little too oily. Another favourite is the Sheng Jian Bao ($5.80 for 4) which is similar to Xiao Long Bao, with a generous amount of meat filling and soup! Very satisfying especially with vinegar and ginger. I love how their wontons here are have a thick chewy skin as well!

Terrible. There's no taste, the rice got no texture, surprisingly there's a mild seafood layer going on but nah it's not where near enough to save it
