I agree, perfection! I love the dou miao, too – in general, but theirs are unbelievably delicate. I didn’t know about that cold salad – will have to try next time!

When I explained that these were better than the Joe’s Shanghai dumplings, he wanted to know when we were going to go to Singapore. Looks like you’re having a great trip so far – enjoy!

Here in HK (and most of PRC) it’s usually just known as xiaolongbao.

The other dumplings look vaguely like the Cantonese-style shaomai (siu mai) to me. And water spinach is my absolute favorite as well. It’s known as tongcai (tung choi) here. (I used to live on a street called “water spinach street”, but the restaurants on the nearby garden street prepared it better. ;D)

I actually prefer their sister restaurant, which I think is Ginger House? Don’t quote me on that, but whatever it’s called, it’s right next door, and you have a better chance of getting an individual table there.

Also, I wonder if it’s a regional thing, but my family (Taiwanese from Taipei) always referred to those soup dumplings as ‘xiao long tang bao’, specifically designating them as soup dumplings (tang being the word for soup or broth), naming any other kind of dumpling, especially those served in dim sum, as ‘xiao long bao’.

Does Singapore have the food markets like the ones in Taipei, and if so, are you planning on going? O:-)
