Hands down, the best dumplings in chili oil in all of Singapore! I've tried a few other places, but nothing compares to the juiciness of the meat and the perfect kick of the chili oil. A solid 10! ⭐️

I was actually finding the best dumplings in this food hawker. This one is insanely delicious, especially Xiao Long Bao!!! The soup inside is unbelievable!! I needed to order again immediately. The dumplings with red chili sauce are great too!! Wish i had more space to try it all!!

Tried the beef noodles, spicy wontons, and pan-fried dumplings at this Chinese stall in Maxwell. The spicy wontons and dumplings were especially good — flavorful and a bit refined, with tasty toppings on the wontons. Worth a try!
