Lei Cha Dumpling

What is this green dumpling?

Lei Cha Dumpling - the ingredients of the usual Lei Cha are used as fillings for this dumpling. The most important thing in a Lei Cha meal is the green assorted herbs and vegetables broth/tea so since this dumpling is a dry version of Lei Cha, I think it is missing the point but it is quite tasty on its own merit despite being a bit on the dry side.

We ordered other food too that are not shown here but listed in the receipt above. The Lei Cha dumpling costs MYR12 nett (MYR10.19++) and I think it is a special item on the menu for a short trial duration only so it may not be available now.

  4. No it's not missing the point. Not to me anyway, since I prefer my lei cha to be dry heh... Usually the soup is made on the spot by adding hot water to the pekat broth mix, and you can opt to not have the hot water added.

  6. This is so unique to see Lei Cha being served in dumplings. I would love to eat this with lots of chilly sauce.

    1. if you eat this with lots of chilly sauce then you won't be able to taste the unique lei cha taste.
