Dumpling Skins Through Thick and Thin
Lisa and I didn’t get together this morning to practice our pageant speeches…
…nor to attend an 80’s Flashdance Tribute…
…we were celebrating the 1-year Anniversary of our blog, Thick Dumpling Skin!!!
Every month, Foodbuzz features 24 blogger meals around the globe over 24 hours. When I found out I was chosen for January’s 24×24 I decided to throw a TDS birthday party at Bao Dim Sum House.
I consulted with Howard (the General Manager) all week for a dumpling feast…
…loved the variety on their menu – a true reflection of what TDS is about – our diversity and uniqueness!
We had Chicken Potstickers…
…Shrimp and Pork Shumai…
…Shrimp Har Gow…
…Pork Soup dumplings…
…Mixed Veggies…
…Mushroom…
…and Crispy Crab balls:
Those came with a sweet, sticky sauce – I used some, but mostly dipped my bites in a mustard/chili/soy/vinegar mixture
Aside from the various dumplings, we also ate our veggies – String Beans…
…Pea Shoots…
…Baby Bok Choy…
…and Chinese Broccoli
It was A LOT of food!
Here’s everything that I inhaled…
…then I made a little speech before our “birthday cake.”
Milk Buns…
…and Egg Tarts
As we say on “Thick Dumpling Skin,” it’s what’s on the inside that counts – this creamy filling was phenomenal!
I enjoyed several bites of dessert:
Stuffed as dumplings, we headed outside for pictures
(Got a little distracted by Lisa and her sister Angel’s shoes)
Also there – Phil Yu (a.k.a. Angry Asian Man) and his wife Joanna, TDS contributor Andrea Lwin, and my Saving Face/Nice Girls Crew co-star Michelle
Cheers, Thick Dumpling Skin! We hope you keep growing and growing.
