Our favorites were the steamed dumplings in teochew style ($4.20) that was packed full with a mix of fresh meat & crunchy vegetables in a soft skin and the steamed beancurd skin roll ($5.20) that is a vegetarian option but incredibly tasty with a perfectly steamed beancurd wrapping a mix of crunchy vegetables. The #xiaolongbao ($4.80) fell short as while the meat was flavorful, it was a bit dry and it didn’t have any soupy fill that we so like to see in a steamed pork dumpling. We also tried the interesting deep fried yam balls ($4.80) stuffed with custard & lychee. It sounds like the weirdest mix of ingredients but somehow the refreshing fruitiness from the lychee kind of went well with the custard and yam, and crisp thin layer of crust. We felt that the yam could have been tastier/ richer but altogether it somehow works
