Muslim friendly soup dumplings without pork or lard. Taste wise, it’s above average with sufficient soup and a slightly chewier skin than I would have liked. The noodles do not taste special.

The chicken XLB is not bad, tasty and juicy. Was expecting the herbal one to be better but it wasn’t as juicy and the skin is thicker. Noodles are alright. You also get $1 discount from ordering the set + another XLB.

Muslim friendly. Its good. Got sufficient soup inside the dumplings. Skin abit thicker than restaurant but that's ok for the price paid. Make it a set with noodles for 50 cents extra.
