Generally, nothing in Lei Garden you’ll find yucky (at least I haven’t ordered any dish from the dim sum to dinner menu that is deemed to be yucky), they are all at least passable and if not, phenomenal. Now, nobody has got any time for any just passable dish, there’s only time for food that is so sexy, nobody can or wish to find faults in.

The crab roe soup dumplings certainly stood out of all dishes in Lei Garden. These sexy pops explodes in your mouth and as though there’s an musical orchestra performing inside your mouth. Mmmmm…~

The dough-soup-filling ratio is perfect. The skin of the dumpling was thin, but was able to hold the soup, and filling. It won’t break easily when you try to lift it up with your chopsticks (though, you got to remember you pick up from the tip of the dumpling). Their service is just as phenomenal as their food, so if you think you may break it involuntarily, just let them put the soup dumpling on to your serving spoon for you and all you have to do is just send it into your mouth.

The filling and soup were incredibly flavorful, packed with immense crabbery-sweetness, light but creamy (how is that even possible!), and definitely, fresh, fresh, fresh! Nothing like frozen crabs or some canned pasteurized crab-meats.

This is certainly an epitome of sexy food. These are not available all year long though, it’s a seasonal dish, so please give Lei Garden a call before you visit.
