In past years the Chinese characters for this stall — it's on the lower level of the Golden Mall, across from the pulled noodles — had generally been rendered as House of Xie. That sign has been joined by others, in English, indicating an expanded emphasis on boiled dumplings. They include pork-egg-chive (shown), sea bass, and lamb with green squash, as well as pumpkin and black sesame tang yuan (second photo below).
A glassed-in display features cold dishes from Tianjin, a neighbor of Beijing and the proprietors' former home. Duck heads are the most eye-catching; smoked pressed tofu, the most tempting.
Also shown: a closeup of a stool near the shop's narrow dining counter. Though of different manufacture, these are as comically low as stools I've perched on in Saigon. A fragment of a plastic bag was knotted to each, probably to identify the stall they belong to; compare this beribboned tray in Singapore.
