Signature bursting meatball (pork) — $10.90++ each!
Thursday — signature bursting meatball $10.90 each. Specialty Chinese meatball dish.
Dinner with BB: the signature bursting meatball (pork), $10.90++ each. 😋
What was on the table (~$25.50 nett for two):
- Two bowls of bursting pork meatball soup: big, bouncy pork meatballs in a clear broth with bok choy and coriander, one served in a claypot.
The draw here is the meatballs. These aren’t your average dense, uniform meatballs, they’re large, handmade and springy, with a juicy, “bursting” centre, so when you bite in you get a release of savoury juices (think of the soup-filled idea behind xiao long bao, but in meatball form). The texture is that prized bouncy, snappy bite that comes from properly beaten pork paste.
Keeping them in a clear broth is the smart move: there’s nothing heavy to mask the meatballs, just a clean, light soup that lets their flavour and juiciness shine, with the bok choy and fresh coriander adding a green, fragrant lift. It’s comforting and not greasy, the kind of bowl that feels nourishing.
At $10.90++ a bowl it sits at the pricier end for what is essentially meatball soup, but the size, the handmade quality and that juicy burst make it feel special rather than everyday.
Overall: 4.7 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Big, bouncy, juicy pork meatballs with that satisfying burst, in a clean comforting broth. Would re-order.
