Xiao Long Bao soupy dumpling!

I was in greenhills the other day because I had an appointment in AIP, the Aesthetic Institute of the Philippines, but while wiating my friend and I decided to eat at Crystal Jade Restaurant which is famous for their Xiao Long Bao's or Soupy Dumplings!

Xiao Long Bao
I love it! At 158 php an order, it certainly was worth it! I've been a fan of Dimsum probably because I'm part chinese and I grew up eating a lot of them. But it was my first time to ever taste Xiao Long Bao. I've been hearing about it from a lot of friends and eventually got curious.

you have to eat it whole!

It's Soupy Dumpling because it has soup inside the dumpling! How did they ever do that? It's quite tedious and troublesome if you thin about it. But the secret lies in the gelatinous broth they mix with the filling. The gelatine like mixture melts with steam thus when you eat the dumpling, there's soup from within!

They have great desserts too we ordered mango sago and red bean souffle!
