We've always wondered what the fuss was with the signature multi-coloured "xiao long bao" dumplings. Granted, it's kitschy and a novelty alright, but having recently tried it, I really didn't think the dumplings were worth that long a queue.
1) Signature Dynasty Dumplings ($13.80 for 8 pcs): pretty alright, with thin but hardy skin, with a little chewiness in the texture, and piping hot clear broth. Only 2 stood out, the pink szechuan flavour coz it was tongue-numbingly spicy, and the black truffle one for its aromatic tones. The rest didn't quite stand out because the "extra special additions" were very understated. Overall a novelty item but not something I'd end up craving for
2) Double-Boiled Chicken Soup ($8.80): delicate but had depth of flavour, but unfortunately with MSG overtones. That said, the chicken was fork-tender was substantial
