Suzhou Dimsum - the best comfort food for me

A lot of Suzhou Dumplings branches have been sprouting from nowhere. Among all the branches, you must try these three because they're authentic - Malate, Chinatown and Mandaluyong. Others I can't vouch for.

Personally, I like going to Suzhou Malate, its this hole-in-the-wall place among a sea of beerhouses and nighclubs in Mabini street. This place opens til late at night. And your first  Xiaolungpao is best experienced here. Xiaolungpao are soup dumplings you dip first in vinegar,  sip the soup then finish it off.

Suzhou serves them in 4 pieces per order, I suggest two orders immediately because they only steam upon order. These dumplings doesn't have the very thin layer unlike the ones is more refined places like Shi lin or Lugang,  And at 100 bucks per order, this one's a steal.

Hot and Sour soup, very addicting, you've been warned!

Fried Beef Noodles, hits the spot, every time

Xiaolungpao -Make your tummy happy with these babies

I also love their Hot and Sour soup, the mix of hotness and sourness whets my appetite more and is best paired with their Fried Beef Noodles. We also order the Panfried Shallot Cake. And just like McArthur, I'm sure you'll be back.

Here's their menu from zomato.com
