Still good

This is one of the earlier LM XLB places in Singapore. With CJ LM XLBs, the standards do vary branch to branch but I am happy to report that this "early" branch is still good.

FOOD
XLB - 50% larger than the Din Dai Fung 18g ones, with softer skin that still does not break so no soup leakage, at 5 for $4.50, no complaints at all.

Shen Jian Bao - somehow this came out bland this time

Pot stickers (Guo Tie) - $3 for 3.50 I think. Large, with the skin just right and tasty

Shanghai Fried Nian Gao - Very nice no complaints

Shredded pancake deep fried - more fluffy than a prata with spring onions inside, this was really really good

SERVICE
We had a very good aunty look after us

AMBIENCE
They must have refurbished because the decor is definitely nicer than before

VALUE
I complain about the increase in prices but I suppose it is the first increase in a few years so really can't complain.
