Mama Chau's — Restaurant in Las Condes

I ordered a little bit of everything with my partner. Scallion pancake, pork dumplings, variety of baos (vegetarian, chicken, and pork), matcha bubble tea, and taro bubble tea. I personally wasn't a fan of the vegetarian and pork bao, but others might like it! My partner really liked the pork buns- he said it is better than my mom's! My favorite item was the scallion pancake. Their bubble tea is the best I've had in Santiago. The flavoring was good and the tapioca balls were not over or undercooked. It's really hard to find good bubble tea. The only thing is that the bubble teas are made with milk and there are no non dairy options. So if you're lactose intolerant like me, either bring lactaid pills or have a tummy ache after haha. I'll definitely go back to try more of their stuff. Menus are in English/Chinese and Spanish/Chinese along with some staff knowing English! This is really helpful since I don't speak or...

I can’t speak for the rest of the menu, but the baos and dumpling we ordered were such a letdown! The dumpling skin was way too thick, and the sauce they provided was — inexplicably — soy sauce, when it clearly should have been vinegar. The bao dough leaned towards more bread-y than light and fluffy, which could be forgiven as a matter of preference, but in general I felt the fillings of both bao and dumpling were devoid of the nuances of Asian flavour — again, soy sauce does NOT count!

I understand dim sum doesn’t really do well when delivered vs eaten fresh, but I’m not sure I would give this place a second try even if they were open...

This time, I went to check their place in Las condes. (I used to order via delivery only) I ordered one of the Soup, Baos & Nata de Macao. Bao surtido, normal. It has more masa, less relleno. I have tried waaay better baos in Santiago. The soup is amazing! Fresh and balanced taste, igual que el postre. By far the best Nata de Macao I have tried in Santiago. With their enough staff standing, the cleanliness must be something to be improved though. The service is quick. Menu is limited but i get it, quality...
