THE truffled dumpling, or xiao long bao, set the luxurious tone of our dim sum lunch at Le Sense Modern Chinese Cuisine recently.
The finely pleated black dumpling brushed with gold flakes was easily scooped up with a spoon without its fine skin breaking, thanks to a thin yuba, or dried tofu skin, underneath. The xiao long bao trembled before bursting at a delicate bite. The tastiest broth flowed from it, together with minced kurobuta pork with mushroom and truffle. It was truly a masterpiece, an apt beginning to sumptuous eight-course dim sum lunch (RM138++).
