Finding the best Dumplings in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Dumplings I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled Shaoxing wine with genuine knowledge and the deeply savoury and sweet result was noticeably superior.

communal sharing at the table is culturally central. The winning restaurant had the right a family banquet table feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. jasmine tea was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Dumplings is made properly it's a completely different experience.
