il Giardino Romantico

杭州小籠包店算是小有名氣。記得第一次來，是天仙媽帶著泰國來的遊客一同來品嘗。當時還沒開始吃豬肉，因此並沒有嘗到這裡有名的小籠包的真正滋味。不過天仙媽畢竟也是聽人家推薦，才會帶著遊客來這兒品嘗。天仙心裡想：應該還不錯吧！之後因為懷孕初期食慾不振，看到平常愛吃的雞肉就覺得反胃，然後又加上書上都說海鮮多吃北鼻容易過敏，因此就漸漸地開始吃豬肉。於是，這天有事來到附近，與朋友相約在這兒，終於可以好好品嘗小籠湯包了！

This is no Din Tai Fung, but I reckon it's still pretty famous. The first time I was here with my mum and some Thai friends. My mum heard about the place from her friends. At that time, I still didn't eat pork, so I didn't know what their xiaolongbao tasted like. After I found out about the baby, I started to lose interest in my favourite food - chicken. The books said that too much seafood might cause allergies, so I had to start eating pork for a balanced diet. So I had an errand to run in the neighbourhood, and asked my friend to join me this time, to finally get the chance to taste some yummy xiaolongbao.





餐餐都要有蔬菜，我則是選擇了兩盤翠綠的青菜當小菜。

So for a balanced diet, I took two plate of green veggies! 



今日主角：小籠湯包上場。

Voila! Today's main dish - xiaolongbao.



趁熱的吃，真的很好吃！

因為不愛薑味，所以只有沾醋（醋真的是孕吐食慾不振的好幫手！）。每顆都好好吃喔！（不過得小心燙口喔！）

You must try it while it's still hot (though you must be careful not to burn yourself). Indeed, it tasted fabulous! It is recommended that you dip it in some ginger and vinegar for best taste, but since I don't like ginger, vinegar itself did the job!

 

接著還有鮮蝦燒賣。原本猶豫要點蟹黃燒賣還是鮮蝦燒賣。後來決定點鮮蝦燒賣（想說只有少量蝦應該還好）。配上酸溜溜的醋，一樣很美味。

不過，兩個女子竟然被這兩籠K.O.～ 實在有點可惜。（此時的我還是有點食慾不振）

天仙要提醒的是，這間的餐點一定要認熱吃。像是鮮蝦燒賣，冷掉之後皮就變硬，沒那麼好吃了。所以，大家可以考慮吃完一籠再點。這樣就可以保證吃到熱騰騰的美食囉！

And then, there was some shrimp xiaomai. We were wondering whether to order shrimp or crab, and decided on shrimp. I reckon there couldn't be that much shrimp, so should be okay. Again, while hot, it tasted superb! Especially with a bit of vinegar! 

However, us two girls found it a bit difficult to finish all this food (keep in mind my appetite wasn't that good at this point).

I feel obliged to remind you again, that you must eat all these steamed goodies while hot! Once cold, the flour bit will become hard, and the taste won't be as good. So I suggest that you order one thing at a time, to ensure that each and every item you order can be eaten while hot!

天仙念：其實也想再去吃吃看鼎泰豐，不過一想到人潮，就懶了！下次平日有放假再去吃吃看吧！XD
