Eastern & Northern Dumpling Restaurant

Eastern & Northern Dumpling Restaurant
220 East Coast Road
T. 6334 7002

This eatery has been around for awhile. Run by a Chinese family comprising basketballers and models (I kid you not - the pictures adorn the walls), it serves a decent xiao long bao (steamed meat dumplings), Szechuan soup (thick spicy soup), and la mian (handmade noodles usually eaten with sauce). Though not as delicate as the dishes served at Din Tai Fung, it makes for a nice alternative in the eastern neighbourhood.
