撒尿水煎包

You remember the show 食神? When the anorexic patients tried the 撒尿牛肉丸, the juices SPRAYED all over. Well, I tried the 水煎包 version. Ah Guan warned me but warning fell on deaf ears. *PSSST* Soup all over the table...

The 撒尿水煎包 (NTD120 for ten) was simmering in a not-so-healthy looking wokful of oil when I first entered the shop. My healthoholic radar was beeping incessantly. Lardth Vader's near.

I'd usually prefer the normal Ding Tai Fung soup dumplings but there's a certain kick to the crunchiness of the thin & crispy lightly pan-fried bottom of the 煎包. The skin's thin and fluffy, courtesy of an army of FOUR ladies wrapping the 水煎包 outside of the stall, yes FOUR. The black seaseme seeds added to the dumpling having a nice bite to it.









Healthnut Rating:
Comments: The soup in the水煎包 was solid. The only drawback was that it was pan-fried. I'd preferred the steamed 湯包 which would have scored higher on the healthnut rating. Probably on another post, my partner's got a favourite restaurant selling crab-roe steamed meat dumplings. Till next time!
