San Dong | Houston, Texas

On May 27th, Mum and June and I went to San Dong. Best dumpling place ever. We ordered a few plates to share and took the rest home for Dad and used it as part of our dinner. Yum! I love leftovers.

June wanted this mixture of peanuts, carrots, and zucchini with a slimy sauce. The slime deferred me from liking it.

I know what you’re thinking … GROSS?! But don’t hate it til you try it. I wish people would eat it before they judge. Sometimes it’s better than they think! It’s just your mind playing a joke on you because if you don’t try it, you’re missing out!

Mum’s favourite. The wontons had very thin wrapper and the meat inside was pretty soft. I ate a lot of the bok choy though.

The soup has more flavor of a beef stock. Because these are dumplings, their wrapper is thicker and with a bit of a chew to it. It was good but the soup was too salty for my taste. June loved this one the most.

This is like the previoius dish but without the soup (and more dumplings!). This was the first dish I ever had when I first came here and remains my favourite.

Until I tried this! Much juicier than the leek pork dumplings. My new favorite.

Just doing this post makes me want to go here this weekend. I would definitely order the Cabbage Pork Dumplings – but not to share.
