Once again, Albany is home to another delicious establishment.
Ordered a Spicy Dan Dan Pork Mince Noodle. Extremely tasty, Noodles were silky smooth and the broth was extremely warmly with some Scoville units to back it up. The aroma as soon as it hit the table was incredible. From the colour of the soup, you know exactly what you're in for.
Pan fried Baos were amazing and bursting with flavour. They were infused with some delicious soup that worked extremely well. It tasted like a explosion of different flavours and textures. I highly recommend this!
Lastly, the Xiao Long Bao (XLB) were great. They were similar to the fried ones with a difference feel to them. Once again spectacular, but as a fried food enjoyer, I would rather go with the fried variant if I could only pick one type.

Read moreCame here to try their XLBs since our go-to place closed down and safe to say, this will be our new go-to. The XLBs are so juicy and just when you think there’s no more broth inside, more soup oozes out of each one. The attention to detail by the service staff is spot on. Had one of our XLB burst as it was being served to us and the staff said they’ll replace it for free. Honestly we didn’t mind and they didn’t need to but it was such a nice touch. Also the XLBs take a while and it was explained to us afterwards that they’re all made to order. Again not a problem for us and it was worth the wait. Definitely coming...
