For over 70 years, this stall in a wet market has been a hit with the locals who can’t get enough of their dumplings, wontons, pork meatballs and pork ribs served in milky, flavourful pork bone broth. Their signature sticky rice dumplings are shaped like oval tangyuan and generously filled with pork leg meat. If you would like to try their hand-torn pork ribs, make sure you arrive by 9am; the ribs aren’t ready before and tend to run out soon after.

Traditional, no-frills market stall atmosphere inside Zhong Yang Market, focused on direct local cooking rather than design; likely bright, functional lighting and a bustling wet-market environment.
