Imperial Palace La Mian Xiaolongbao @ Marina Sq

The usual dinner hangouts we go to after work are Suntec, Marina Sq, Central Mall & Robertson Quay- since all these are located within 5 mins drive from Raffles Place, where i work. So this evening we were at Marina Sq and decided to dine @ Imperial Palace's La Mian XiaoLongBao because my bf knows i'm in love with their Fluffy Carrot Pastry.

1) Dan Dan Mian - Ok, why i ordered this is because i had this strong craving for peanut sauce noodles. However i had expected it to be dry like those served in Din Tai Fung, but it came looking like a spicy soup. Haha. Taste-wise is okay, met my cravings too. But too much of this thing is very gelat. A mini bowl would do better.

2) Zha Jiang Mian: My bf ordered this cos he wanted something bland and simple. Well, this is exactly what he wanted - bland and simple - hahah, at least it's what i thought. But he did rather enjoy it :) For me, i like it with lotsa vinegar and chilli!

3) Fluffy Carrot Pastry: okay now you know what i came for - this fluffy-oh-so-delicious-piping hot-melt in your mouth-pastry! Trust me. It tastes so much better than it looks. And you'll have to wait to get your pastry - they make as per order only.


4) Pumpkin pie: This chewy pumpkin pie with a sweet red bean filling (i think so) is the highlight of my bf's dinner. It's light, not overly sweet, and very tasty.
