Tasting Journey #96 - 濟南鮮湯包

濟南鮮湯包
台北市濟南路三段20號
02.8773.7596


Recommended by a high school friend of mine as her favourite dumpling place, and then later on suggested by a colleague, my friend and I decided to give this place a try.



Hidden away in an alley way, this place must serve pretty decent quality food as it is quite a busy place.  You would think that places like this would offer real local eatery supported by local foodies, this place indeed, is actually 2 floors, decorated in a sea-food restaurant style, and air-conditioned. Of course, it is reflected in the price as the price range is much higher than what you would expect for a basket of dumplings at a local eatery. Well, still cheaper than the infamous Ding Tai Fung.


My friend and I ordered three dishes to share, all very basic: sour & spicy soup, pork wrap, and of course, the dumplings.  To our delight, all three dishes were very tasty. The soup had the perfect ratio of spiciness and sourness. The dumpling skin was thin and the meat was juicy and tender.  Pork wrap was decent.

I've never been a fan of Ding Tai Fung.  It is over-rated and packed with tourists.  I would definitely recommend this place over DTF any day.
