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.
Oh this is a unique dumpling. Something I have not eaten before. I am not a big fan on lei cha but I am a big fan of dumplings so I am actually curious to try this :D
ReplyDeletea curious mind is good. means you keep on learning and experiencing new things.
DeleteSame as Merryn, I am also not a big fan of Lei Cha but I don't mind trying this Lei Cha Dumpling
ReplyDeleteit is special because seldom see this on menus.
DeleteI'm like the ladies. Would love to give this a try too!
ReplyDeleteok! :)
DeleteNo 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.
ReplyDeletethis dumpling is totally dry wor. no pekat broth mix. no sauce or gravy or broth inside like those siao long bao with sauce inside.
DeleteLei cha dumpling looks interesting. I too would love to try it.
ReplyDeletethe chef is creative to think of this lei cha adaptation.
DeleteThis is so unique to see Lei Cha being served in dumplings. I would love to eat this with lots of chilly sauce.
ReplyDeleteif you eat this with lots of chilly sauce then you won't be able to taste the unique lei cha taste.
DeleteInteresting! And well, why not.
ReplyDeletesure is curious to try.
