| Sesame Prawns on Toast (2pcs) |
To start we got the Sesame Prawns on Toast ($5.80). This was your standard prawn toast and tbh the ones from the Highpoint food court are still the best/juiciest ones I've tasted ahluls.

| Signature Steamed Juicy Bao (8pcs) |
These Xiao Long Baos ($10.80) looked juicy and plump azzzz. It was a great burst of flavour (literally). The skin was not as thin as I preferred tho.

Th stir fried noodles with seafood in XO sauce ($14.80) was a tad oily but expected for a Chinese joint. Pls make seafood taste fresher somehow.

| Pork & Prawn Wonton in Peanut, Chilli & Spice Sauce (15 pcs) |
Dumplings in Schezuan sauce are my fav dumpling dish and Juicy Bao's Pork & Prawn Wonton in Peanut, Chilli & Spice Sauce ($9.80) were quite yummy. Kevin can't handle chilli but this didn't set his mouth on fire. They weren't as refined as the ones from I Love Dumplings but it still ticked all the boxes.

The food came out really fast and it didn't hurt our wallets either. Service was dece.
