Love a good coffee shop hidden gem, such as this Xin Peng La Mian at the recently refurbished Bistro 8 at Blk 442 (opposite the 448 market)! Saw several reviews that the Spicy Red Dumplings here are a must try and they really didn’t disappoint - these dumplings are so huge and meaty and only at $5 for a plate of 10! The meat filling texture is less compact and more similar to what you’d get in XLB but it sure is packing with flavor and juices! The sauce was decent with a good vinegary kick but slightly lacking in the heat department, though you can add more chili (Lao Gan Ma) on your own.
