singapore
website
my lonely planet guide recommended this place for its dumplings and noodles. it's a taiwan restaurant with branches throughout asia and i think they also have branch in los angeles. the singapore branch was (big surprise) in the basement of a mall on orchard road. we went on friday for lunch and it was packed - we had to wait about a half hour to get seated.
the xiao long bao is their specialty, so that's what we ordered. very very good. unfortunately there wasn't as much soup in the dumplings as i would normally like but the taste was phenomenal. that said, i think we can get the same quality of xiao long bao from joe's shanghai in nyc's chinatown. my noodle soup with pork and pickled cabbage was good, but not as good as the version my mom makes. all in all, it was a fantastic meal but between joe's shanghai and my mom, i think we've got this place beat.
