Pineapple Bun with roasted pork was really tasty 😋 It had a layer of crumbly sugar crust topping on the outside, baked until perfectly crisp. The roast pork filling contained actual chunks of meat.

We got the pork and pineapple dumplings to share. Nummy

Mei Lai Wah is a popular restaurant in Chinatown, known for its delicious and fresh Chinese cuisine. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including the signature duck, shrimp fried rice, fried dumplings, and chicken in sweet and sour sauce. The food is consistently good, with generous portions and a great price-quality ratio. Customers have praised the freshness and flavor of the food.
One highlight is the pineapple pork bun, which is considered a must-try. The outer layer of the pineapple bun is super buttery and crispy and the bun itself is soft and fluffy. The pork inside is tender and sweet. The baked pork bun is also popular, warm and well spiced, with a fluffy dough. The red bean buns are incredibly soft and less sweet. Service is super fast, great for a quick bite and take away only. The line moves quite fast. Overall, Mei Lai Wah is a must-visit for Chinese food enthusiasts, providing a great dining experience that keeps customers coming back for more.
