Soup or Soupy dumplings (Xiaolongbao-Wikipedia Post here) are in NYC! To quote the brilliance of Seinfeld “Yes they are real..and their fabulous!” These yum creations are almost singularly made by one powerhouse of soupy dumpling goodness, Joe’s Shanghai. If anyone has alternatives in NYC I am open to try, but so far this seems to be it. I’ve tasted the soup dumplings in Singapore and at Din Tai Fung in Taiwan and these though not as good hit the spot and are the real deal. The trick to eating them is giving them a nibble at the edge in a soup spoon then slurping up the goodness that spills out and gobbling up the meat and wrapping. Mmm…notice in the picture a few are left. If you haven’t noticed I have little restraint when it comes to food and drink. Hope this isn’t too mundane of a post of those soup dumpling aficionados.
