Har gow
Recommended by Sheena Southam and 16 other food critics.
"These were incredibly rich - the depth of flavour is something I have never encountered in a har gow. In fact I could only manage one as it was so intense. Absolutely delicious."

Lo mai gai
Recommended by Leslie Cheng and 10 other food critics.
"My favorite was the glutinous rice in lotus leaf (lo mai gai) which was called glue rice dumpling on the menu. It was moist, very flavorful and had lots of lean pork as filling."

on Cha siu bao
"His signature Baked Bun with Barbecued Pork is seriously the best I ever eaten. Very similar to a bolo bao, the sweet pastry covered bun is light and fluffy, with skin so thin, and saucy char siew pork within almost oozing out. Supercrazygood!"
on Cha siu bao
"The Steamed Beef Balls with beancurd skin were very memorable, too. I can actually smell the orange zest and herbs coming through the bamboo slats. The beef is very tender, succulent, bouncy and soft."
on Niúwán
"The clear rice wrappers of these dumplings show you the plump pink prawns that await you inside. The covers are very sticky, and you’ll lose the inside of the dumpling if you go for two bites. Get it in your mouth in one and enjoy the slippery, seafood treat."
on Har gow
"For something different, try the steamed rice paper rolls with pig's liver, an old-school favorite that's increasingly hard to find."
