Flower Veggie Steamed Dumplings
Personal taste varies; I didn't really like them. The outer skin is chewy and soft, not falling apart at all. I recommend pairing them with dipping sauce.
Big Pancake with Beef
The reviews are a bit overrated; I didn't find it particularly impressive.
Located on B1, you queue up with the crowd. For takeout, it's recommended to order online to save on waiting time. The table turnover rate is quite fast, so you won't wait too long. Maybe I didn't choose the right items; I would like to try the mung bean porridge and pot stickers next time.
In the basement level B1 of Dongqu Dinghao Mall, the famous Zilin!
The skin of the fresh meat dumplings is very chewy, and the ratio of the meat filling to the skin is well balanced, making it juicy and delicious; the scallion pancake has no flavor and requires dipping sauce, but the skin is also chewy, and the pancake series is all very tasty. You can see the kitchen area where it is freshly made; there are also many small dishes available to order, such as dry noodles and century egg tofu.
During meal times, there can be long lines, but the turnover rate is quite fast. Considering the prices for street food in Dongqu, it is relatively affordable, highly recommended!
▶ Beef Roll $110 ◀
The roll is packed with lots of beef. The wrapper isn't too thin, but it's fried to a very fragrant crisp! The beef and green onion inside aren't heavily seasoned, making it a very refreshing snack!
▶ Potstickers $80/10 pieces ◀
The outer skin is super crispy! And the filling doesn't have a pork lard smell, but you have to order 10 pieces per serving.
▶ Beef Egg Drop Soup $50 ◀
This is a beef broth base with egg drop, but there’s no actual beef in it! However, the egg drop is very tender!!
▶ Beef Noodle Soup $145 ◀
The beef in the noodle soup is super abundant! You can also chew on some tendons. Their noodles are thicker, so the texture is very chewy! I love it so much!
The steamed dumplings here are thick-skinned, but the outer skin is very elastic, so it doesn’t feel like biting into bread. I think the overall texture is better than thin-skinned steamed dumplings. As for the filling, the fresh meat tastes great and is juicy. The hot and sour soup was also very rich in flavour, with the coriander adding to the flavor. There are green onions in the beef burrito, which I personally don't like. But it’s easy to jump out of!
