  5. Whoa... I think I would want to get some for dinner later. Now you are making me crave for all the dumplings. By the way, the white fungus desserts are so "dry". Aren't they suppose to serve with more rock sugar syrup?? That bowl is also a bit too much for a person's consumption. The stuffed glutinous rice ball with black sesame seeds looked yummy. Is that pounded peanuts?

  7. mica: White fungus is quite popular in Chinese cuisine :)

    peachkins: Oh.. there's no white fungus in Philippines? Or probably it is available in Chinese restaurants?

    CL: Eh.. you are going to have dinner, not breakfast? LOL The restaurant was so generous to give us so much white fungus in our bowls, hehehe... Yup, you are right, pounded peanuts around the lei sha wan :)

    DA: Hehehe.. yeah, the logo is cute :)

  30. Add me to the list of dumpling lovers! I wish we had better access to the variety of dumplings you tasted, they look so good!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I still remember when Da Niang just opened in Sydney China Town. They handed out some free dumpling coupons as an opening promotion. Being a dumpling lover, I of course went there to get my free dumplings, but they only gave free veggie dumplings, not the other ones :(. At that time I felt that the veggie dumplings tasted quite ordinary, so I never made an effort to try the other ones. Maybe when I visit Jakarta next year (hopefully) I should try Da Niang one more time.

    ReplyDelete
  32. FLaB: Yay! Another dumpling lovers :) Eh, aren't there many Chinese restaurants in NY? They don't serve variety of dumplings? ah.. too bad...

    C-G: You know what? I just read some reviews of the franchised restaurant in Sydney and some people complaint it especially about the service. But so far, the one here in Jakarta is quite good and the dumplings are very yummy :)

    ReplyDelete

  35. LOVE dumplings, we all do and drive almost an hour on Sundays to a restaurant in Arcadia, CA that has divine dumplings (there's a bit of broth in each so you have to put the whole thing in your mouth to get a burst of broth and flavor). These look delish!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Haha...after going to Asia for so long I have still not discovered this place yet? I'll be on the lookout for it next time. It looks like a nice place to dine, and the soymilk looks interesting. At first I thought the small cup looked more like tea as it was in a tea cup...I am wrong? That is a lot of syrup! Yum.

    ReplyDelete
  37. the ungourmet: hahaha.. yeah, there's always a tendency can't stop eating dumplings when you start it :)

    AR: Oh yes, pork gluten rice with chestnust and also with mushroom is wonderful :)

    catherine: the dumplings with a bit of broth in each called xiao long bao, love it very much especially dipped into black vinegar and sliced young ginger :)

    ETE: Hehehe.. yeah, the cup for syrup is tea cup. Hopefully you'll be able to try out this place when you are visiting China :)
