Lai Lai Dumpling Restaurant — Restaurant in Zhongzheng District

【來來水餃】南機場夜市中的人氣店家 (bilingual 🆎)

📍 在中華路二段的巷子內上，非常好找。坐公車，騎機車，步行，都方便到達

📝 點餐程序：在入口的告示牌 🪧 旁邊排隊 (請見照片)，會有服務生人員來訊問你要幾顆水餃 🥟，輪到你時會告知你坐幾號桌。水餃一顆八元，點餐以五顆的倍數為單位。如果沒有特別告知什麼口味，一律會給你豬肉白菜水餃 (我本來要點10顆豬肉白菜，5顆韭菜，結果當我發現點餐規則時已經來不及，小姐已經幫我點了15顆豬肉白菜)

🧑🏻‍🍳 服務：⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️️ (滿分五顆星)；點菜、安排位置、上餐，整個流程工作人員協調度與效率極高

🍽️ 小菜到後面去點，點好後拿了不可退換 (見照片)

🥟 水餃：份量快是一般水餃2倍，我吃八方雲集10顆完全不會飽；吃來來的水餃到第12顆已經飽到不行。皮煮的有點過於軟爛，要讓它冷卻一下皮收縮後再吃比較好吃。內餡飽滿，豬肉的甜味與白菜的甜味已經融在一起，分不出是誰的甜；水餃水份偏多

🫔 豆乾：有加花椒之類的粉末下去，越吃舌頭越麻，口味蠻鹹的

🥩 牛腱：有嚼勁但不會硬，好吃 😋

🔎 路上觀察學：他們優於他家的方式是水餃都是現包現煮，以維持一定新鮮度，光包水餃就四個人手。現在防疫算是到了一個階段，政府逐步解封，夜市的人流量逐漸恢復繁榮，我聽到周圍有廣東話與韓文，歡迎來到台灣 🤗

【Lailai Dumplings】Popular Store in South Airport Night Market (bilingual 🆎)

📍 Located on a lane in Section 2 of Zhonghua Road, very easy to find. Conveniently accessible by bus, motorcycle, or on foot.

📝 Ordering procedure: Queue up next to the entrance sign 🪧 (please refer to the photo), and a waiter/waitress will ask you how many dumplings 🥟 you want. When it's your turn, they will inform you of your table number. Dumplings cost 8 yuan each, and ordering is done in multiples of five. If no specific flavor is mentioned, they will give you pork and cabbage dumplings by default (I initially wanted to order 10 pork and cabbage dumplings and 5 chive dumplings, but when I discovered the ordering rules, it was too late, and the waitress had already ordered 15 pork and cabbage dumplings for me).

🧑🏻‍🍳 Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out of 5 stars); the staff members are highly coordinated and efficient in the entire process of ordering, arranging seating, and serving.

🍽️ Side dishes are ordered separately and cannot be returned or exchanged (see photo).

🥟 Dumplings: The portion size is almost twice as much as regular dumplings. I didn't feel full after eating 10 dumplings from another place, but when I ate Lailai's dumplings, I was already stuffed by the 12th dumpling. The dumpling skin is slightly too soft and fragile, so it's better to let it cool down and shrink for a while before eating. The filling is generous, and the sweetness of the pork blends with the sweetness of the cabbage, making it difficult to distinguish whose sweetness is which. The dumplings have a bit too much moisture.

🫔 Dried tofu: It is seasoned with ingredients like Sichuan pepper powder, so the more you eat, the more your tongue gets numb. It's quite salty in taste.

🥩 Beef tendon: It has a chewy texture but isn't tough. It's delicious 😋.

🔎 On-site observology: One advantage they have over other establishments is that the dumplings are made and cooked on the spot to maintain freshness. Just four people are responsible for making the dumplings. Currently, the epidemic situation has reached a certain stage, and the government is gradually lifting restrictions. The flow of people in the night market is gradually returning to prosperity. I heard Cantonese and Korean languages around me. Welcome...

Famous stall here in the night market with fresh popular boiled dumplings, with a thick chewey hand made skin. Prices are cheap and side dishes are delicious (recommend cucumber, thousand year egg tofu, and pig foot slices with chilli peppers). Soup is also very good, tastes like a hot and sour soup but... without the hot and sour, until you season it yourself using the condiments given! But it's very big portion even for small serving and filling. The hot dumplings taste like such a classic comfort meal.

The service is famously very crass here, I personally don't mind being rushed etc except when a staff member was cleaning a table behind me they spilled sauce all over the back of my jacket which was really unfortunate... another couple customers told us soon, so hopefully I can get the stain out :( but the food...

would give 0 stars if I could. we queued for 20-30 mins and then ordered takeaway becuase of the min 5 dumplings per person rule and it took insanely long. we even saw people behind us in the queue who dined in getting their dumpling first?! asked the server and they said that their takeaway is not meant to be faster and they prioritise dine-in?! what on earth??

finally got our pork cabbage dumplings after another 30 mins of waiting. tried the dumplings and they were BAD. not even average, but downright bad. the skin was thick and too chewy, the meat is not fragrant, and filling too little, and the soy sauce overpowered the vinegar and was so salty.

don't bother queueing for this!!! there must be thousands of dumplings shops...
