Xijiade Food in Damansara Utama specialises in ‘Dongbei’ style dumplings, but it’s the ‘xia fan cai’, Chinese over-rice dishes, that truly shine
Xijiade Food, a Harbin dumpling restaurant in Damansara Utama, is surprisingly popular for its xia fan cai (over-rice dishes) rather than dumplings. These flavorful, saucy dishes, often associated with Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, are heavily seasoned and served with plain white rice. While the dumplings are decent, the standout dish is the nong jia xiao chao rou (farm-style stir-fried pork belly with peppers), a classic Hunan dish with flavorful pork belly, aromatic garlic, black bean, and vibrant peppers.
