  Personally I give my vote to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. Cost aside, I think Din Tai Fung's xiao long bao lose out in terms of size and thickness of the wrapping skin.

  the pudong kitchen in balmoral basement level sux.. the food is expensive.. service is crap.. i tried their crispy noodle and xiao long bao.. waste of money.. i would still go for crystal jade.. ding tai fung is good.. but in terms of price and quality.. crystal jade ^^

  Din Tai Fung loses! Their's is so dry and tasteless compare to crystal jade's which is ALWAYS good.
