In this episode, we went down to Hand in Hand Restaurant at Boat Quay to demolish a Dumpling Challenge! Hand in Hand is a restaurant that serves a variety of Chinese cuisine including Peking Duck and Fried Rice, but are renowned for their Xiao Long Bao and Dumplings. They have 2 outlets in Singapore, with the one at Boat Quay actually specialising in Peking Duck.For this challenge, I ordered 10 servings each of their Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao, and told them to keep them coming. I started with the Dumplings, which were bigger than most dumplings I have had in Singapore. They were filled with shrimp and leek, with noticeable chunks of shrimp dotted throughout each dumpling. As they were fried, they were pleasantly crunchy on the outside while moist and juicy on the inside. The filling-to-wrapper ratio was very generous, which is particularly unexpected for such a large dumpling. Dipped in soya sauce, they were a treat to eat and I was relishing every bite.Next, I tried their famous Xiao Long Bao. Steamed to perfection, each ball of joy was filled with a soupy, savoury filling that explodes in your mouth when you bite into them. As Xiao Long Bao are generally small in size, they easily fit entirely into your mouth and can be devoured quickly. Topped with soya sauce and ginger, they are the quintessential Chinese snack food suitable for most palates. Hand in Hand lives up their reputation of being an excellent Dumpling and Xiao Long Bao restaurant and my usually light-eating crew voraciously ate dozens of them.Naturally, it became difficult towards the end even with the help I was getting, but this was one of the rare occasions where I enjoyed the bulk of the challenge and would certainly visit again for regular meal. This place would certainly be on my list of best Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao in Singapore.
