Shang Hai Fried Xiao Long Bao (Chinatown Complex)

Ordered their pork and leek pan fried dumplings. I lost count of the number of dumplings but probably 8. The dumplings were crispy on one side. The other side was like steam cooked. The dumplings were very juicy inside as well. You can give it a try!

$4 per 3 pieces for original

skip the XLB and just get this.

waiting time can be 40-60 mins

Al dente noodles topped with savoury minced pork and sliced cucumber which offered a refreshing change of flavour.

Had to get the usual XLBs as well which was served as a set of 6. The dough was thin but a little wet for my liking but it was packed with flavourful filling and broth.

Served as a set of 3, choose from original ($4) or prawn ($5) fillings. Expected the buns to be similar to char siew bao but the interior was packed with soup but could’ve had more filling. The exterior was exactly like char siew bao, having a fluffy and airy texture.
