#FoodieFriday #DumplingCrawl Part 2 with @eatingthroughto 🙌🏻 . New to #Toronto’s dumpling scene is @juicydumpling.ca, making a name for themselves with $2.99 #soupdumplings + $3.99 pan fried soup #dumplings (which is what we tried). Pan fried is not a traditional way to prepare soup dumplings so it’s nice to see the world of dumplings are still evolving after almost 1,800 years. 😬 . Next up was a traditional #hargao, #hagao, #hargaw? at RolSan. So many different spellings but one classic #dimsum delight, this #shrimp filled steamed dumpling is probably the most popular dim sum dumpling. The wrapper is just thin enough to see the pink hue of the shrimp inside. . Our next stop is a modern #ChineseCafe/#TeaHouse similar to what you’d find the youth of Asia snacking and hanging out in today. @staycafeteria serves many Chinese comfort dishes + drinks + is our only #bubbletea of the tour, a classic black #tealatte with #tapioca, served warm with foamy milk like a coffee latte. Their dumplings are made in-house with the traditional thick, al dente wrapper of good hand rolled wrappers, + the dumplings come in a soy, vinegar, fresh cilantro, + chili oil sauce. Again something that tea houses would do to separate themselves from fast casual street vendors in Asia that usually offered the basic condiments self-serve. Plus we got to try #tangyuan, a sweet rice dumpling usually filled with black sesame, peanut, or red bean + served in a warm light syrup/soup. @staycafeteria adds fragrant fermented rice, #sweetosmanthus, + #gojiberries to black sesame tang yuan, reminiscent of how their family would prepare it in China. . We originally had planned two other bubble tea stops but with input from our guests we decided to add two bonus #dumpling stops, @laiwahheen at the start + @dailoto to finish. 😋 . Dailo’s Hakka Brown #Wontons are @ninjachef grandmother’s signature recipe. The pork + shrimp wontons are served with toasted sesame oil, house #xosauce + almond crumble. A beautiful finish to a delicious day of many different style of dumplings + dumpling establishments. . Thanks to all our dumpling venues for having us + for keeping this traditional food alive + evolving. ❤️ (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsuDlMPhnfG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1950gg07p8psw

Dumplings are said to bring good fortune for the new year cause they’re shaped like traditional Chinese gold currency. We think they bring good fortune any time of the year, cause they’re delicious 😬 While we don’t generally run holiday specific events cause we like celebrating the everyday, our dumpling crawl this Sunday with @eatingthroughto happens to fall close to the lunar new year bringing good fortune to all those who attend perhaps? 😉 Visit torontocommon.com for tickets & info! #Toeats #toronto #torontoeats #torontotaste #torontolife #torontofood #torontodrink #torontofun #torontocommon #dumplingcrawl #torontofoodtour #chinesenewyear2019 #lunarnewyear #auspiciousfood (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BthKxa3hSec/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j97hbn8rdso

#FoodieFriday #DumplingCrawl Part 1 with @eatingthroughto 🙌🏻 . Our 2nd #foodtour collaboration with @eatingthroughto explored the different styles of #ChineseDumplings in #Toronto’s #Chinatown. While there are many styles of dumplings + more than one Chinatown in Toronto, we narrowed in on the Dundas + Spadina area of Chinatown with a few close by strays as bonus stops + there were too many places to choose from! . Our first stop was an added bonus, @laiwahheen an elevated #dimsum + high end Chinese restaurant. We tried two of their most popular dumplings, their #lobster steamed dumpling shaped like a lobster + filled with lobster filling, + their #scallop, #shrimp + #caviar steamed dumpling with large pieces of shrimp + scallop, both paired with a side of #xosauce, a spicy seafood sauce that combines dried scallops + shrimp with chilies + shallots. . Next up is @_asianlegend for #soupdumplings #小籠包 + #spicywontons #紅油抄手. Soup dumplings are a delicate steamed dumpling originally from Shanghai, usually filled with pork + sometimes crab with a broth wrapped in the dumpling. It’s served with a side of ginger + #blackvinegar for dipping. #Spicy #Wontons have many variations for a completely red #chilioil sauce to more a soy vinaigrette with chili oil, to this version, a #sesame + chili oil dressing. . Our next stop is Harmony Chinese restaurant that serves a more traditional dumpling. Offered boiled, steamed, or pan fried, with a variety of filling options. This style of dumpling has a slightly thicker wrapper that should have an slightly chewy texture. We tried a classic pork + chive filling pan fried with a side of their house chili oil. Chili oil is a classic dumpling condiment, along with soy sauce, + black vinegar or rice vinegar + each restaurant usually has their own secret recipe. . Stay tuned for part 2...
