Dim Sum Dumpling House, 417 W Main St, Alhambra, CA 91801

Dim Sum Dumpling House took over Nha Trang. Specializing in Northern Chinese dumplings (XLB, SJB, wontons, boiled jiazo), buns, savory meat pies, noodles, fried rice, skewers, spring rolls, sesame balls, etc.  

Rainbow combo juicy dumplings (6 for $9.99): This was a nice way to try 6 different kinds of XLB. Each wrapper is a different color. The pork ones (juicy pork, cuttlefish ink juicy pork, spicy pork) tasted very similar. The beef, chicken, and veggie ones were distinct. The wrappers were thin but the tops were too chewy. Each dumpling was juicy and light on the salt. These were not served with any fresh ginger but there was black vinegar at the table. The dumplings looked about average in size and didn’t have much filling. The seasoning could have been bolder.

Steamed pork bun ($2.50): The bun was light and fluffy and the ground pork filling wasn’t too salty. There wasn’t much filling.

Hot tea ($1.50): a big glass of tea with one tea bag

Zhong-zi ($4): simple (glutinous rice, pork) but had more pork than usual, a mix of fatty and lean pork, there was too much soy sauce though (too salty)

The food was steamed to order so it took about 20 minutes before the food appeared. The service was efficient. The interior looked the same as it did when it was Nha Trang. It’s a small place.

3.5 out of 5 stars

What a Modern Bao Shop in Taiwan Looks Like | Food of Taiwan [PILOT]

Have you ever had a hot steamy bao? Have you ever had one on the side of the road in Asia? That’s a whole new story. There’s almost nothing better than holding and eating a hot steamy fluffy pocket full of savory or sweet filling, I say ALMOST because there’s so much good food in Taiwan it’s hard to pick a favorite. We started a Youtube channel to talk about Taiwanese food! This is a pilot…

Tonight I played an indie cozy game called Bao Bao's Cozy Laundromat. The developer behind it was in the chat and I made a suggestion for the game that they are going to try to implement! This makes me so happy! The pandas might make noises in the next update!

in honor of us being blessed w/ more gaming leaks today: i've been contemplating his favorite dim sum dish for a while and finally decided on one >:D

cw for mentions of game leaks and food under the cut!

there are so many dim sum dishes to choose from so i basically had to hone in on one by ruling out categories

also i'm assigning him a fav dim sum dessert bc i feel like desserts deserve their own category ><

first of all, i intentionally did not consider larger dishes, such as salted fish fried rice, crispy soy sauce fried noodles, etc., bc technically you can get those at any chinese restaurant, not just a dim sum one

second, i'm excluding expensive dishes you'd typically only see at banquets, such as crab, lobster, etc., bc i'm trying to hc a dish he'd be able to order often when he goes out in a party of 4

third, since canto food is generally light and mild, i think he'd prefer this type of cuisine over food w/ strong spices or flavors. that isn't to say he can't handle or doesn't enjoy stronger tasting food, but i think milder dishes are what he'd go for if he wanted comfort food

now. since he has to stay in shape for his guard duty and performances, i don't think he'd like having fried food often. i think he'd prefer smth lighter so he wouldn't feel sluggish. this would exclude fried calamari, xo sauce stir fried cheung fun, fried pumpkin w/ salted egg yolk, etc.

i'm gonna rule out vegetable dishes too (sorry vegetables!!) bc even though they're good, they're typically not the highlight of dim sum

moving on to other dishes, i'm ruling out har gow and siu mai (don't come at me for this) bc of the fact that they're standard dim sum dishes. yes, they're yummy and are telling of the quality of the dim sum restaurant, but i don't think he'd say they're his Favorite dish out of all the options. i have nothing against har gow and siu mai ok, it's just that i don't think he'd pick one of those as his top favorite bc it's standard to order them every time you get dim sum anyway.

even after ruling all these dishes out, there are still a lot left at this point. so, to make my life easier and bc i felt like it, i decided to hc that gaming likes sweet food. you may ask why and my answer is 1. bc i can, 2. bc it would be gap moe of him to have an energetic, fiery personality while preferring gentle sweets, and 3. bc i can. again bc it's canto cuisine, it's mild sweetness he's looking for.

after deciding on this, the two dishes that came to mind were char siu bao and phoenix claws. it's really funny that i thought of char siu bao bc judging by the look of gaming's recently leaked specialty dish, it's steamed char siu bao.

additional hc: i think he really likes char siu bao, and if he had to pick he'd go for the steamed kind rather than the baked kind bc it's soft and fluffy. interestingly enough, i decided on this prior to the leaks about his specialty dish, the description of which says it's steamed. mhy and i are on the same wavelength fr.

that being said. i'm gonna rule out char siu bao specifically because it's food you can eat on the go. because the story blurb in gaming's drip marketing says he spends his leisure time at the dim sum restaurant, i think he'd want to order smth he doesn't usually get to eat and smth he can take his time enjoying.

in conclusion, i think his favorite dim sum dish would be phoenix claws, which fits those two criteria. it's sweet, a dish that you can only get at dim sum restaurants, and he can take his time savoring it.

as for his favorite dim sum dessert, i had an easier time deciding bc i decided on the steamed char siu bao preference hc beforehand. i'm gonna go with the steamed custard buns bc they have a gentle sweetness and are also soft and fluffy. do you see my vision here? it's all coming together.

thank you for coming to my ted talk, i love him a lot as you can see
