Hi thinktea, all V's are welcome. I think it will only be a short cruise though this time. more of a social thing I reckon. Will have to watch the weather, if we get more rain like we have had rece

Strangely enough, the best ones are not from Shanghai - the origin of siu loong baos..... but in Taipei (Taiwan)...the place is part of a chain restaurant specialising in siu loong baos throughout Asia with stores in Singapore, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong...Even more stranger is that, although they all trade under the same banner name DING TAI FUNG, the original 1st store opened in Taipei is the absolute best with such good service....

And, in the event that one gets served to you broken withe the soup leaking, it gets replaced...Now that's customer service!!!

As to Melb, I am sorry to say, but the ones you are eating are nowhere as near what a siu loong bao should be...

A successful siu loong bao must comply with the following:

1. steamed fresh and served within 2 minutes....the longer it is left after being steamed, the more the skin dries out....

2. must be made of FRESH ingredients, especially with fresh crab meat....to give that fresh, sweet, non-MSG flavour

3. Steamed under a silken cloth, not under a cabbage leaf or wombok leaf...

4. when picked up with chopsticksticks from the bamboo steamer, the skin must be almost see-through in colour (meaning very thin layer of skin), yet does not break whilst being picked up, and has a bouncy/chewy texture....

5. Must contain a high quality broth inside...and to burn your mouth like an exploding bomb when you eat it...LOL

6. Must be served with a high quality red vinegar and finely grated ginger....

Anyway, back to the meet....any other takers????? Come on...join in...MILLOS really wants your business at the car wash...LOL...

Hey Rianto,

Still hapenning, as per the original post the deluxe car wash will be 50% off on the day. Deluxe = interior, exterior, windows, tyre, dry including door seals, etc, the works pretty much.

As per cut & polish, details, etc. I will be providing everyone attending a VIP card for V35's with a special discount on all services offered.

But definitely looking forward to the meet, hopefully it won't rain, hahahaha.

yeah, that would suck big having our cars washed only to be rained down a few mins later...

but if anyone doing a cut & polish that'll be the ultimate test as a good polish would cause the rainwater droplets to fall off the car like pearl droplets, leaving the car virtually 'dry'
