This taiwan speciality restaurant has many successful branches in Taiwan, and never fails to attract customers. Fortunately, a branch finally opened in Sydney, Australia. It is conveniently located upstairs in the busy World Square in the heart of CBD, close to other shops, offices and hotels. Without booking, there would approximately be a 15minute wait.The most popular dish and their speciality is of course, their Shanghai pork dumplings (xiao long bao).
Highly recommend it! It is freshly made by chefs demonstrating their skills behind the kitchen window shown to customers.
As soon as I nibble off the chewy dumpling skin, the gush of succulent juicy soup initially wrapped inside bursted into my taste buds....then once the tasty soup is consumed, I held the dumpling and dip it into the vinegar with ginger pieces sauce, bringing out the tender pork flavour wrapped in thin chewy dumpling skin. These dumplings can be very addictive, I find myself being able to eat 2 main dish servings (16 dumplings) with no problems at all. This is a must try dish for dumpling lovers!
Other food tried were prawn dumplings (shui mai) which weren't any special from the Yum Cha dim sims, drunken chicken entree - which was a recommended dish but the wine was a bit strong for my liking as it covered the chicken taste....
and another recommended vegetable entree consisting of bean sprouts, seaweed, vermicelli, capsicum etc, which was a nice small appetiser dish.
Dessert was the enormous iced mango kachang (shaved ice) with vanilla ice-cream, generous servings of juicy mango pieces and evaporated milk sauce poured over.
This very refreshing combination is great for summer and hot days! But you must have a big appetite to be able to munch all this down yourself, because I shared this mountain dessert amongst 8 people to completely finish it!
