Thanks to @burpple's Cheap and Good Meals under $10, I found myself wandering along the rather large Hawker Centre in Chinatown Complex (yes the very same one with the Michelin One Star Soy Sauce Chicken, this stall is rather near, by the way) looking for unit 02-135. Undistracted by temptation, I was rewarded with 10 beautifully wrapped 紅油抄手 (Sze Chuan Chili Dumpling - $4.50!!). Everything was oh so perfect on this plate, the heat and sourness from the vinegar and spice, the silkiest wanton wrapping and the well-balanced bounciness of the prawn and meat filling. The only flaw? I wish I could have 10 or 100 more of these babies 🐷
This currently ranks number one in my ❤️now (sorry Auntie and Uncle from 936 LTN), watch this space while I unearth more yummy dumplings!
