3rd SHRIMP LONG NOODLES

4th XIAO LONG BAO
Mandarin House, University City
Shanghai soup dumplings (xiao long Bao) and fried taro puff (woo kok) are among the standouts at dim sum at Mandarin House. The absolute best. Some restaurants in STL won't even attempt the famous xiao long Bao because they are so difficult to get right. The fine folks at MH get them right!

Sunday dim sum fun day! Shanghai soup dumplings. Worth spotting every time!
8th CHINESE BROCCOLI & PEKING DUCK
Mandarin House, University City
So delicious. The broccoli is perfectly steamed then drizzled with the sweet & salty sauce. The duck is truly sublime. So juicy & tender.

11th XIAO LONG BAO
Lulu Asian Kitchen, Olivette
Super juicy and comes with finely julienned fresh ginger. They forgot to give me the black vinegar with it, but that’s OK, they were delicious without it. 
13th PORK BUN
Mandarin House, University City
I love these more than the BBQ pork buns. So savory & delicious and more pork to bun ratio.

Positively bursting with red bean paste, these are humongous, amazing tasting and fried to order fresh!
