We were visiting the food hall today and wanted to try something different, so we stumbled upon Foreign Grill, and I’m so glad we did! I ordered the cheese egg boat and the chicken soup dumplings. I had the chance to chat with the chef, who was making everything fresh from scratch, which made the experience even better. The cheese egg boat was absolutely delicious, with a perfectly flaky crust and rich, cheesy filling. The chicken soup dumplings were some of the best I’ve ever had, fresh, packed with flavorful filling, and filled with a rich, savory broth. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and you could tell a lot of care went into preparing the food. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!
