Recommendations

"I liked the witty touch of a fluffy barbecued pork char sui bun carefully prepared in the shape of a hedgehog."
"The char siu bao is equally scrumptious for those that like their food shaped into little creatures for restaurant theatrics."
"The amount of details in these cute animal dim sum were very impressive - the quills on the hedgehog bun were hand cut with scissors while the bottom had been pan-fried for an extra layer of crispiness."
"It’s the crème de la crème of Chinese restaurants—it’d be a shame if you didn't experience the crispy char siu buns."
"These hedgehog shaped Chinese barbecue pork buns were special not just because they are cute. These were unique from its cooking technique of having it steamed first then gently pan fried on the bottom to have a delicate crunchy texture. The filling was flavorful and had a good ratio of roast pork meat."
"The taste was really nice because the tangerine peel had a nice bitterness to it balancing the greasiness of the pork."
"We enjoyed the char siu bau shaped like porcupines with a crunchy base."
"One of the highlights of the meal was hedgehog shaped char siew buns, which was crisped at the bottom, whilst the remainder was wonderfully soft."
"You must order this. The texture was irresistible with soft skin on top and a thin crust on the bottom. The searing process further brings out flour mixture's natural sweetness taste on the bottom."
"Only the bottom is pan-fried after it is steamed. The combination is wonderful! This is my mum's favourite."
