What is Dragon-i’s most popular dish?
The Shanghainese steamed pork dumplings at RM16.80, known everywhere as xiao long bao. Dragon-i was founded in 2004 around Shanghainese dumplings and hand-pulled noodles, and reviewers still name the xiao long bao first in nearly every write-up. The dumpling is thin-skinned, filled with pork and hot soup, and eaten with ginger and vinegar. Nothing else on the menu carries the same weight: it is the dish people travel to Dragon-i for, and the dish regulars order without looking at the menu.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shanghainese Steamed Pork Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) | RM 16.80 |
| 2 | Shanghainese Steamed Black Truffle Pork Dumplings | RM 23.80 |
| 3 | Steamed Egg Yolk Custard Buns | RM 15.80 |
| 4 | Steamed Piggy Buns (Red Bean Paste) | RM 12.80 |

Why xiao long bao tops every list
It is the signature, the cheapest way to taste what Dragon-i does best, and the one dish that shows up in review after review. The RM16.80 basket is also fairly priced next to the RM23.80 truffle version, so most tables order the classic first and upgrade only if they love it. If you order nothing else, order this.
