• Chinese eatery specialises in dumplings. They also have noodles and a variety of dishes that you can have with rice. Food is from Mainland china and is different from cantonese/Hong Kong style food.

Of the 3 places that serve dumplings, Barilla probably has the biggest variety. Easy food hacks counted 37 varieties. All dumplings are made by them. They are cooked 3 ways: boiled, steamed or fried. You can also buy frozen uncooked dumplings from them.

Another dish that ppl have been raving about is the "Fried french Beans with spicy salt". One of the spices is cumin. Pic: http://j.mp/KAkt7W eg Q4 of http://j.mp/L5rxKU While I can see why, it isn't something I'll order regularly (not really that keen on deep fried foods generally)

I do like their Smoked pork pancake.
