Heavenly Banquet Soup Filled Pork Dumplings are half price again. They are quite amazing and very close to restaurant quality. The rest of the heavenly banquet range is also ½ price however I am unable to comment on the quality.

"They are quite amazing and very close to restaurant quality" so…….maybe?
IMHO, they are pretty good if you steam them properly. I either buy this or I get the one from Costco.
which one is good at Costco?
At my local costco, I have only seen one brand and 2 versions. One normal one and the black truffle version. The black truffle version is a bit too funky for me, I like the normal one.
@geek001: Those with mushy meat inside can hardly be called soup dumpling. Mines all ended up in my noodle soup
Xian long bao are terrible in Costco. At least from my recent purchase last week. Aldi ones are way better (even tho relatively expensive)
How do you steam properly?
In a steamer and on medium heat and for the right amount of time. Try to have a bit of room between each dumpling, as they sag when cooking. I line the steamer with baking paper, because I find they stick to the bottom of the steamer otherwise, and these things are very fragile. If you press/pull too hard when picking them up, they will tear and the soup will spill out. Serve with secret recipe vinegar/soy sauce. :P
@geek001: Yeah I use air fryer liners, have holes in them so work well for not getting them stuck.
I'll have to reduce heat to medium going forward though, that's probably been my downfall.
Secret recipe vinegar/soy sauce? I'll have to try that, normally just use ponzu sauce so no need to muck around with secrets lol.
I spray the baking paper with a little oil as well, which ensures them to just slide off easily.
Yeah they're great, especially at half price it's an absolute steal.
This or Mr Chen?
This is better. Pan fry them with some oil (use some chive oil if u are fancy), end off by adding a splash of water and cooking it under a lid.
Serve with black vinegar with sliced ginger
Thanks for the black vinegar tip :)
ps. for my gyoza, I normally add water to cover half finger of the gyoza. 8 minutes and it's good to go :)
Pan fry?
why would you pan fry xiao long baos??? waste of money.
if you want to pan fry it, just get dedicated Sheng Jian Bao for that.
Mr Chen is better.
This one has an overwhelming fatty pork taste
happy that it is made with 98% Aussie ingredients
which would be the best of the three soup filled/ pork with spring onions/ chicken?and no added MSG which is good
What's wrong with MSG?
Not according to Uncle Roger, it isnt
@goingDHfast: MSG contains 1/3 the amount of sodium as table salt, therefore if used instead of salt in similar quantities it can be a healthier alternative.
As for glutamate: The human body treats MSG the same as natural glutamate found in food. For instance, the body does not distinguish between free glutamate from tomatoes, cheese or mushrooms and the glutamate from MSG added to foods.
https://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/consumer/keeping-food-s…
@shkippy: believe what you like about MSG but this is chemically made usually 621, 622, 623, 624, 625, 627, 631, 635, I try to avoid chemical additives, do your own research and make up your own mind, fine if its natural in your food
@Irishness: Yep some of us are actually sensitive to it, I'm fine with small amounts but my body does react to it in and I can tell the next day if I had msg laden dish the night before.
Most people are fine though.
@TEER3X: Sensitive individuals should also be aware that high amounts of glutamates are present naturally in certain food and therefore you should also probably avoid:
hard cheeses like parmesan
tomato concentrates and sauces
stocks cubes and concentrates
sauces such as soy, fish, oyster etc
spreads such as Vegemite®, Marmite®
foods containing added Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP).
Soup filled are to be steamed only, pork will be to pan fry - oil, water, dumplings in with flat side to pan, lid on, steam off the water, lid off (DO NOT FLIP THE DUMPLINGS), check the flat underside is crispy and then you can plate up.
I normally buy K&B Prawn Gyoza for my pan fried dumplings, so I've only bought the soup filled ones - and they're great. Might grab some of the pork ones to try em out.
I have tried the Costco ones, and Mr Chen's and didn't like either. I Will give these a go tomorrow and see what they're like.
They taste good, but do put a baking paper under the dumpings so they won't stuck
Bought 1 last time when half price, quite good, be careful pastry's very easy be broken after steam
I just tried these and can recommend them. They are small, thin skinned and have a decent amount of soup.
Sadly I have tried frying and steaming as well as boiling. They have never come out right for me, I dont have much experience with dumplings i guess.
These particular ones should be steamed for 12 min on top of greaseproof paper (with holes) and left to sit for 1 min. If they are steamed too long they lose the soup filling. Also much nicer with Chinese vinegar and some thinly sliced ginger. To eat, place on a spoon with chopsticks.
The problem i have is i dont seem to get any soup in there no matter the methods i have tried, i initially tried frying but i didnt do the add water part ,so thats where i went wrong. But i thought steaming or boiling would do the trick but it still came out weird, the outer material especially was not the texture it was meant to be. I had perhaps overcooked or undercooked it.
Did some research and a taste test, can confirm these are identical to Aldi’s Urban Eats Soup Dumplings down to the nutritional table, ingredients (98% Aussie), and even the cardboard box size.
Pork and soup tastes identical, so these are coming from the same factory. Get whatever’s cheaper at the time (the Aldi are $9).
…so these are coming from the same factory.
A common misconception (repeatedly made on OzBargain) - which Aldi trades on. Customers believing that are likely being mislead.
Do a little research! Aldi is well known for copying branded products, to appear & taste like the products other manufacturers have spent money developing.
Aldi spends money on its legal advisors, to avoid claims of "passing off" it's products as the name brand ones - deceiving customers.Given Aldi's record (shown in court cases, & reported in media), just because it seems the same, you cant make that claim without proof.
Urban Eats is an australia trademark and brand of ALDI Foods Pty Ltd
His proof is they taste exactly the same.
You'll never be able to get a certified statement from either company, so that's as good as it gets.
Aldi gets loads of stuff from the branded companies, it doesn't make sense otherwise.
I was quite impressed by this and stocked up. Saved more money than going to Din Tai Fung.
they good?
