Chinese/Modern Chinese

This is overpriced yes, but only if you can have it in china. It's simply impossible for most people to source this quality Doumiao unless you're a restaurant, it's as tender as it can be while the ones u grab at supermarkets are really tough no matter how u cook it. Executed perfectly, and only mildly salty so it keeps you going back. Delicious stuff, but only if you appreciate and have tried to make it yourself.

Otherwise it may just be a decent plain veggie to you

It's alright, noodles were soft again but this was different from the norm, it's pretty light and the sauce was thin. Guess it's alright for a family style restaurant but I would definitely prefer sth more shiok

Noodles were very soft, the peanut sauce was smooth and slightly spicy. I guess it's a good base if you're ordering other stuff, abit annoyed there's no meat

Retained their high standard. Light, flavourful, slightly chewy rice grains. Nowadays quite a few fried rice places with DTF graduates helming the kitchen can produce a very similar standard of fried rice, however their pork chop is supremely tender and most places can't nail that. It's unreal how tender it is for such a lean cut, and well marinated to boot

Honestly this isn't even good. The filling isn't very meaty at all. Soup was good tho

Filling was bouncy and exterior very smooth, but not flavourful at all. Quite average

Perceptibly but not significantly different from the norm. For this price it's fine as an add on

Idk why this was chewy and almost liquid. The spring onion inside isn't too fragrant either. Quite average

This has a crunch that's slightly hard, and it holds for quite a while(around 10mins in a cold environment). Ask for it without cover if you're eating immediately, otherwise obviously it loses its crisp slowly.

8pcs of the same flavour is 11 bucks, so better to get 2 times 4pcs for only 1$ more

The chives one was weak, not v good. The original one is much better, it's juicy from the cabbage and meat mixture, and has a tinge of natural sweetness. Competent stuff

Also love the shape, it's great for dipping into plastic cup of vinegar. Clearly thought has been given to the product

The most impressive thing tho, is the amazing chili oil. There's this bean/tofu taste and it's got some depth. Not quite sure why but it really is super delicious

It's surprising how there's a seafood quality to the soup, and though mild I didn't expect it to be only from kelp. Overall it's alright but nothing too special

Or lunch set or whatever

Only dine in steamboat from now on

It literally says dried shrimp on the receipt, yet the previous time we didn't see any dried shrimp so I ordered it again to ask them.

Turns out, the white powder is finely shredded dried shrimp. No wonder the flavour is great. Don't expect to chew on dried shrimp but worth ordering still
