Speaking of dumplings....

Just got back from a trip to Asia (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Shanghai) and on my last night enjoyed some always-wonderful items at one of Din Tai Fung's Shanghai locations.


The original soup dumplings, that made them famous. The filling is insanely rich and delicate. And of course the vinegar/soy/ginger DIY sauce is the perfect compliment.


I don't remember the exact item, but these were some sort of dumpling/wonton filled with pork and prawn in a spicy soup. Quite nice, but nothing on the chicken soup dumplings.
