XuXu's new menu is worth a beeline to Britomart

XuXu Dumpling Bar – the Auckland eatery famed for its masterfully-mixed cocktails and mouth-watering pot-stickers – is further adding to its impressive culinary offerings. Enter, chocolate-filled steamed buns.
If steamed buns and chocolate are your idea of a good time, you're going to want to keep reading.
One of our favourite Britomart addresses, XuXu Dumpling Bar, is seriously upgrading itsalready excellent dumpling game with a bountiful new menu that features a perfect hybrid of two of our favourite hump day indulgences.
XuXu's recently revived autumn menu offerings, available from May 22, includes a plentiful line-up of chocolate steamed buns, oozing with a molten chocolate centre. To further appease to the savoury palate and joining the menu are the chicken and water chestnut wontons, served in a drunken sauce of black vinegar, chilli oil, soy and garlic.
It's safe to say we know what we'll be doing for dinner... and dessert.
