小笼包 at 黑社会

I am not kidding. The restaurant name is really 黑社会. Literally, it means secret society. It is located at the second floor of ViVo City.

This is the first of my series of 笼包传记. However to my disappointment, the Xiao Long Bao here sucks.

The jasmine tea here taste really bland. Does not even smell like jasmine. It tastes more like chinese tea. The snacks here suck. I thought it is a complimentary dish, but I was wrong. To add on to the damage, this thrash costs a bomb.

Here is the 小笼包. Irregular shape. Bad piece of work by the chef.

I dissected the 小笼包 to have a good look at the ingredients. A good 小笼包 will have plenty of soup in it. This 小笼包 is very disappointing. The soup could hardly fill up my spoon. 小笼包 at Crystal Jade and Ding Tai Fung have so much soup that most of the time, they will overflow. The meat itself taste bad. They did not grind the ginger properly. I was literally chewing on ginger bits. Yucks. Don't come here to buy anythng. The Xiao Long Bao cost $8, but in the end everything adds up to $33. Luckily my meal was paid for by someone else. Haha.
