Good Deal at Waipo Xiao Chi

What Chiefeater VK Ordered at Waipo Xiao Chi

Finding Waipo Xiao Chi (外婆小吃) in Bandar Puteri Puchong proved to be a fantastic discovery, primarily for its impressive balance of good food and highly affordable pricing. This unpretentious eatery specializes in a variety of traditional Chinese snacks, noodles, and handmade dumplings, making it a reliable spot for a casual and budget-friendly meal.

A notable detail for first-time visitors is the distinction between their dumpling offerings. The Xiao Long Bao (RM12 for 7 pcs) at this establishment is a solid meat dumpling but notably does not contain soup.

Look at the size of the dumplings!

Glad to be reacquainted with Cold Noodles, which I first encountered in China.

They gave us a complimentary cucumber dish.

This is what we packed for dinner.

For those specifically seeking the traditional burst of broth, the Steamed Soup Dumplings (RM15.50 for 9 pcs) is the correct item to order.

Another highlight from the menu is the Braised Pork Rib, which proved to be excellent and even held its quality well. At RM12.50, you are really hard pressed to find a better deal.
