Zhang Ji Shanghai La Mian Xiao Long Bao (张記上海拉面小笼包), ARC

Zhang Ji Shanghai La Mian Xiao Long Bao has a stall at Alexandra Food Village which has been in business for more than a decade. Never eaten there. Tried the food at their branch (#02-23 ARC, 460 Alexandra Road) which opened up last year.

They have a pretty decent dan dan mian (担担面). Loads of creamy nuttiness with a bit of heat. The basic bowl seems to have been loaded with quite a bit of vinegar.

Their Szechuan spicy wanton which is a rendition of 红油抄手 was kinda disappointing. Too much skin on them and nothing particularly memorable about the meat stuffings. Was also hoping that they'd pack more heat.
