Food Scene
5 min walk from the Suite.
Baos are Steamed Chinese Buns filled with meat/veg filling. They are the size of a Mcdonald's cheeseburger and cost about the same. In our opinion, if you are craving a snack, your money is better spent here. My recommendation here is the Pickled Pork Bao.

10 min walk from our Suite. Cash only restaurant.
Located at upper floor of the Crystal Mall, in a corner of their Food Court. The Menu is in Chinese and our recommendations are #1, #6 and #7.
#1 "Xiao Long Bao" are soup dumplings. If reviewers on yelp.com are to be believed, they are the best XLBs in North America.
#6 is my favorite. These are wontons in a light clear brothy soup. I pick this because I've been here so many times, and when the old lady who works there takes her break, this is what she gets for herself.
#7 is Stefanie's favorite. These are pan fried soup dumplings.
Tip: The soup inside dumplings #1, #7 are super hot. Be Patient. Bring a bottle of cold water with you.
