A little about XI Home Dumplings:
All dishes are freshly prepared by Dalian chefs chosen by Wenjun, and guests can watch all the dumpling action from the glass panelled open plan kitchen.
Open for breakfast from 8:30am, guests can enjoy dishes such as a Chinese Pancake with Sausages, Bacon and Eggs to a Twisted Bun with Pork Mince alongside a range of fresh detox juices including Matcha Power (pineapple, spinach, banana, apple and matcha powder), Super Green (spinach, avocado, apple, lime, basil and spirulina), Passion Storm (passion fruit, papaya, pineapple, peach, guava and aloe vera) and Cherry Berry (sweet cherries, strawberries, black currents and banana).
For lunch and dinner, it’s all about the dumplings. Classic combos include Spicy Pork, Pork with Fennel, Beef with Spring Onion, and Open Mouth King Prawn dumplings to the signature Jade Lobster Dumpling – a family recipe handed down from generation to generation. For the adventurous, more daring dumplings include Abalone, Black Cuttlefish and Sea Cucumber Dumplings, each handmade by the skilled pastry chefs and simmered, steamed or fried. To accompany the dumplings a mature vinegar and soy sauce are the traditional dips of choice.
Alongside the dumpling menu, sits an array of buns, rolls, pancakes and rich soups including, the Pork Soup Bun (an Instagrammable dish where pork broth is sipped from a straw inside the bun). Other must-try dishes include Sliced Beef & Ox Organs in Chilli Sauce, Stir Fried Liver with Chives & Bean Sprouts, Steamed Cold Noodles (perfect for Summer), Xi Home signature Wonton Soup and the Dalian street food snack Starch Potato Cubes with Mixed Seafood. For dessert guests can feast on Dalian speciality Crispy Milk Curd and Steamed Sticky Pumpkin Cake, all handmade on site. Dishes range from £6.50 to £18 and the entire menu is available for takeaway and delivery, plus a Xi Home chilli oil can be purchased to take home.
Tea pairings are also available including a Four Season Oolong Tea and an Oriental Beauty Tea together with a concise cocktail list featuring a Lychee Gimlet and a Brandy & Osmanthus. XI home has created a series of tea specials from a Matcha Coconut Miky to a Lemon Black Ice Tea, plus detox juices, a house red and white and a range of beers including Cobra, Asahi and Sapporo.
The design (courtesy of creative agency Blacksheep) pays homage to the Dalian region of Northern China and its fishing heritage, the restaurant features a giant Instagrammable neon lobster on the ceiling and the walls are decorated with wave like patterns and vibrant Chinese lanterns. A modern colour scheme of vibrant reds and industrial greys sit alongside violet blues reflecting the port’s vibrant energy and mirrors Shoreditch’s sense of spirit.
XI home offers an authentic deep dive into dumplings inspired by Dalian.
