Steamed Symphony: Exquisite Expressions of Xiao Long Bao at Solaire Resort Entertainment City

On October 17, indulge in an intimate evening of elevated Chinese dining at Red Lantern, Solaire Resort  Entertainment City, with Exquisite Soup Dumpling: a ten-course tasting menu that pays homage to the  iconic Xiao Long bao. Guests will savor an expertly curated progression of traditional and reimagined soup  dumplings, each showcasing precise technique and the finest ingredients, from Alaskan king crab and  Kurobuta pork to black truffle, foie gras, Hokkaido scallop, and Wagyu beef.  

The experience begins with the ritual of Xiao Long Bao: delicately thin dough pleated around fragrant  fillings and rich, umami-filled broth, enhanced with Chinese black vinegar and fresh julienned ginger. This enduring classic becomes a canvas for creativity, as Red Lantern’s culinary team explores contrasting  textures, aromas, and flavors, while preserving the precision and restraint behind this celebrated Chinese  craft. 

The first expression sets the tone with a classic Kurobuta pork Xiao Long Bao, elevated with pan-seared  foie gras, crispy duck skin, and toasted brioche. An element of surprise follows with a giant crab meat soup  dumpling enriched with the briny depth of salty crab roe. Another standout rendition follows with a fresh abalone and shrimp Xiao Long Bao accompanied by Morel mushrooms stuffed with crisp water chestnuts,  creating a unique interplay of savory, earthy and textured notes.  

The menu continues with fish maw tube and chicken Xiao Long Bao, followed by Hokkaido scallop and  shrimp with glass noodles, demonstrating the chef’s versatility in balancing authenticity and contemporary  flair within each delicate parcel. Black truffle pork Xiao Long Bao elegantly plated with a generous portion of  Dongpo Kurobuta pork introduces an intensely aromatic and rich dimension, adding savory depth to the  progression of flavors.  

The journey then reaches its luxurious crescendo with Alaskan king crab Xiao Long Bao. The finale then  takes a bold turn with Sichuan-spiced Wagyu beef, paired with a special 20-Year Aged Pu-erh tea whose  restorative qualities and health benefits provide a comforting and relaxing sensation for guests to savor as  they reach the final main course.  

Each creation is thoughtfully complemented by a selection of tea, allowing guests to pause in between tastings and appreciate the nuances of each pairing. The evening concludes with a playful and light sweet  note with strawberry snowball mochi and refreshing mango sago and pomelo. 

Set within Red Lantern’s elegant interiors, the dining experience brings together the warmth of Chinese  culinary traditions and Solaire Resort Entertainment City’s signature world-class hospitality. From the  theatrical arrival of each handcrafted dumpling to the variations in textures, aromas, and flavors, Exquisite  Soup Dumpling invites guests to indulge in a familiar classic through a refined and celebratory lens.
