The soup dumpling house
Jin Din Rou is the Taiwanese xiao long bao house inside Saigon Centre — a paper-bright dining room where each soup dumpling is pleated by hand, the truffle and oolong-tea varieties headline the steamer, the open kitchen shows the pleaters at work, and the baskets never stop coming.
Why Jin Din Rou earns a visit
Four things make Jin Din Rou: the hand-pleated xiao long bao, the truffle variety, the open kitchen, and the steam that never stops.
