There are many places where you can have a decent meal of either steamed dumplings or roast duck. The first two are king prawn dumplings from Din Tai Fung. Simply delicious. The middle picture is a selection of dishes typical of northern Chinese cuisine. Fried pig’s liver, fried dumplings, beef xian ping (puff pastry) and mung bean congee from Do It True. The one to the right is xiao long bao from Hangzhou Xiao Long Tang Bao. It is not as sophisticated as those from Din Tai Fung but still delirious enough.
Below is part of a set menu for around 8 people. Roast duck is the place’s signature dish and you really should not miss it. Hot pot of lamb and pickled cabbage is very satisfying. The soup is slightly sour in the taste as there’s pickled cabbage in it, which I really like. Lamb is tender as it is stewed slowly over a simmer.
