Guo Tie

Finally had this again in-shop 😋 Their #guotie is so damn thicc! 🫃 It’s way more skin than I would usually want in a #dumpling but it’s also just around this time of year I think of past years travels and wish I could be snacking on a #pelmeni 🥟 I don’t know what filling these use. I’m too much of stuff my mouth kind of eater to ever take note of these kinda things 🫢

I’ve been wanting to order and review this for so long 😜 That being said, I was quite #addictedtodumplings without realising it. But that doesn’t mean this experience was perfect 🤨 I’ll start with the positive. The taste of fried dumpling skin and #mockmeat was a much more than respectable replica than it seems. So the fact that it can still taste just like the real deal is all I was really looking for 😊☺️ I’d say it was all well cooked, but the only thing I can’t assess is the sear’s crisp. Simply because I ordered takeout. 🥡 It was, admittedly, way too greasy. Also, the dumpling skin to meat ratio felt way off. The skin was way too thick by about 2-3mm 😬 Please know, I’m definitely biased in my review here. So to me, weighing between the pros and cons… For RM 5, I might actually order this again 😅😛 Even if this dish didn’t tickle your fancy, I’d still highly recommend checking out this vendor for their other items 😋👏

I was able to eat this like a Malaysian. Why weren’t they able to name the dish like a Malaysian? Let’s make pelekat periuk (aka #potstickers) a thing at the very least 🙄 They get really sticky really fast if you have them for #takeout 🥡 Luckily though they were still warm by the time I had them, and super delicious! If you’re here or ordering on Grab even, ask for the #eggfree option 🐣 I don’t think it’s a filling by default but rather for keeping the thing together. It’s vegetable heavy but luckily not too healthy-tasting #veganisnotscary 😛 Not like I didn’t throw the whole thing in sambal later though - unintegrated Chinese sambal 😳 Highly recommended! I’d like to apologise to this restaurant for being the subject of my #mahathirisfullofshit rants; They truly don’t deserve it. Their food’s great and very much #omnivoreapproved 😇
