So this review will talk about each of the xiao long bao (XLB for short )
Original XLB
At first i was full of anticipation. Come on, I'm dining in paradise am i? However i started with the first flavour which was the original XLB and it wasn't fantastic. The stock wasn't sweet and flavourful enough, and the minced meat was rough and flaky in texture. The skin however was nice and thin.
Garlic XLB
The garlic one was good. Much more flavourful than the original.
Ginseng XLB
Next was the ginseng flavour which i found a little too over powering. I would have liked it more if it was just a hint of ginseng.
Crab XLB
Where's the crab? They were really quite stingy with the crab.
Cheese XLB
I enjoyed this one as I'm a cheese lover. I would usually destroy anything with cheese in it! Nice cheesy mozarella in it which actually goes well with the pork and broth.
Truffle XLB
I really loved this one. This one had a good balance of flavours. Love the control of truffle flavour in this as if it was just right. Quite a complex flavour. Leaves a lingering aroma of truffles in your mouth. Delicious.
