People rave about the soup dumplings 小籠包 at Mama Lu’s Dumpling House 一口福 in Monterey Park, but I recommend getting that elsewhere and instead focusing on their green onion pancake 蔥油餅. It comes very crispy and flaky, reminding me of the Malaysian roti canai but a little denser with more to chew. I also really [...]

It’s hard to go wrong with soup dumplings (小籠包) in Richmond. One of my favorites restaurant for soup dumplings now is Top Shanghai Cuisine Restaurant. Their version is not greasy like some places’, but in return, some of the flavor gets lost. Still, the dumplings were still soupy and tasty. Thinner skin would have been [...]

I’m hooked on the soup dumplings (小籠包) from Dumpling Kitchen. I can’t believe it opened up a few months ago and I just found out about it now. The soup dumplings are some of the best that I’ve had in the city. The skin is thin and durable with a slight resemblance to the ones [...]

I can’t get enough of Dean Sin World. It’s one of those restaurants that I always have to return to when I visit Monterey Park. They’re well-made, juicy, not greasy, and cheap! 306 N Garfield Ave #2 Monterey Park, CA 91754 (626) 571-0636

It’s been a year since I last visited Dean Sin World in Monterey Park and a lot has changed. The place has renovated – it expanded the dining area, forcing the area where the old ladies would wrap dumplings to be moved to the kitchen. That’s a bit of a bummer, but on the bright, [...]

A trip to Richmond, BC isn’t complete without soup dumplings (小籠包/xiao long bao). All the rave is on Shanghai River right now. The only part I didn’t like about their soup dumplings was that the skin was just a little too thick on top, but overall, it was really good. Their food in general was [...]

One of my favorite Shanghainese breakfast items is the rice roll, which I refer to as “fan tuan” (飯糰) in Chinese. It’s really hard to find good ones in SF because no place ever seems to make it such that all the ingredients being used are freshly cooked. Sometimes, the rice will be hard, or [...]

I know that Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐) is known for the soup dumplings (小籠包), but another thing that they really make well that I’ve never had anywhere else before is their taro and red bean dumplings (芋頭小籠包/豆沙小籠包), and even mores specifically, their taro ones because they don’t serve those in the Din Tai Fung in [...]

The newest soup dumpling (小籠包) joint to hit Monterey Park is Mama’s Lu. Their soup dumplings have thin skin and is packed with juicy meat … and a lot of soup. The meat is a bit too mushy for my liking, but overall, it’s well-made and pretty good. People rave about their green onion pancake [...]

My most favorite place to eat soup dumplings (小籠包) is Dean Sin World (點心世界) in Monterey Park. I wouldn’t say it’s the best I’ve had, but they are really good and really cheap (on average, every item is under $5), along with everything else they serve. Everything is made from scratch, from their wrappers to [...]
