[CLOSED] Ju Hao by MOF (Tiong Bahru Plaza)

The Xiao Long Bao ($6/5pcs) was filled with lots of broth on the inside with a fairly nice skin enveloping it. Another dish that we liked was the Wantons in Vinegar and Chilli Oil ($7.8) as it had a good amount of meat filling on the inside, drenched with a garlicky tangy spicy sauce. The menu has a striking resemblance to a certain famous Chinese food chain and I must say the food was fairly comparable.

It lacked the sour and spicy flavours like DTF's. Kae: "if this was the 小菜 cai I ate, I won't even eat it anymore".
•
Zha jiang mian ($8.80)
Average noodles which tasted better with their chilli. The meat was okay but the sauce lacked flavours.
•
Egg fried rice with prawn pancake ($13.60)
The fried rice was okay but lacked aroma. Pawn pancake was crispy but soaked in oil.
•
Despite their concept being similar to DTF. The quality of food served here is not even half as good as theirs. For the price paid, we feel that we could easily cheaper and better alternatives.

•
Original flavour XLB is average tasting. Filling is okay but we feel that the skin is slightly thicker than usual.
•
The salted egg yolk XLB is basically a bad combination which we feel that it is introduced for the trend. We are really disappointed by this.
•
The chilli crab XLB is rather unique to us as it's our first time having it in this flavour. Surprisingly, it has the sweet and spicy flavours of chilli crab too. This is the only flavour we recommend our of the 3!

Walked past another table and caught a whiff of the vinegar from this dish and just had to try it. Decent but not impressive, would do to satisfy your dumpling craving. This restaurant doesn't provide napkins(?!) so the waiter offered his own stash of tissue paper lols. Red bean pancake ($8) is my favourite, crispy and yummy just a little too pricy.
