Stall in Beauty World
A good xiao long bao has a thin, almost translucent skin and is filled with flavorful meat in bursting soup juice, but the skin on the XLB was thicker than usual, and the fillings were nice and solid.
I was having lunch at Beauty World Food Centre when I came across Mentai SENS (明太晟). The Signature Mentaiko Chicken Don was calling my name, so I ordered it for lunch!
The noodles were savoury and qq with bite, coated with soy sauce and fragrant chilli. The thick and red char siew was tasty, sweet and tender. The wantons were plump with silky skin and well flavoured meat fillings. Not bad.
This was apparently by an ex-Omakase Burger chef. Quite a moist thick patty. But the buns were generic and insufficiently soft, and the entire package could do with a bit more flavour.
The orh nee egg tart was very nice, soft and jiggly while sticky and creamy, with a nice yam fragrance in an eggy crust.
