Taipei Gourmet Lexington

Decided to visit Taipei Gourmet Lexington for their weekend Taiwanese Dian Xin, it's similar to a Chinese Dim Sum and it's served on the weekend 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. Was it popular?



Yup, at noon the place was filled with Asian people, mostly families. There was one other table apart from me, that was non-Asian. Be warned, it was LOUD in there. They do have a special Dian Xin menu and it can be found on their website.



I had the Mini Juicy Dumplings (Soup Dumplings) and they were completely devoid of soup inside and the skin was a bit thick today but the filling was tender and juicy. Tasty but would have been better if the soup wasn't missing. I even checked underneath, but nothing had leaked out.


The Taiwanese Pan Fried Dumplings, on the other hand, was excellent. Thin wrapper, crisp on the bottom with a nice filling and an excellent dipping sauce, not sure what went into the dipping sauce and they were too busy to ask. It's just called the dumpling dipping sauce, but it was spicy and flavorful.
