Xiaolongbao?
I thought this thread was going to be about those...Din Tai Fung's American branch in Arcadia, CA is perhaps my favorite place to eat anywhere...any of you wish to join me, let me know and we can get an FT Dumpling Do together.
I do like spaetzle, though.
How do you manage to drain the soup out? I usually let the dumpling cool, bite it, suck out the soup, then eat the dumpling. I need to work on my technique.
