Bits of pork lard croutons imparted an enjoyable crunch to the entire bowl. Even with all the pork lard, there was no greasy surfeit afterfeel.
Dumplings were decently plump and savory, the thin slices of char siew (roasted pork) was nothing to shout about, but they all came together beautifully. There is a sense of simple bliss in every mouthful.
