Spotted November 20, 2009Skin so thin you can see the broth line very clearly. Very nice clean tasting broth and a very nice light meatball. New entry into the XLB scene in Richmond, BC. -

Spotted November 18, 2009Made with fresh mangoes - not a mix like at most places. Then drizzled with evaporated milk and condensed milk. Classic dim sum dessert. -

Spotted November 13, 2009Nice XLB here. Thin skin, nice broth, and flavourful meatball. Very good.-
Alexa Andrzejewski Mmmm those look so chewy and good! Do you think the skin should be think or thick and chewy?
Alexa Andrzejewski Hey again! You should be able to view comments now.
Fernando Medrano I think there are at least two distinct styles - the more popular thin-skinned variety and the more rustic thick skinned variety. My general preference is to the thin skinned XLB (as popularized by Din Tai Fung, etc) which also tend to have light-flavoured broth and meatballs. I have had very good thick skinned XLB - typically a more rustic preparation with more flavourful broth and meatballs (often flavoured with Chinese cured hams, and other rich aromatics). What I don't like is when an XLB maker attempts a thin-skinned variant and ends up with a deflated, broth-deprived, dense-meatballed thick-skinned XLB. The one above has a thin skin (but not nearly as thin as the best places in town).
