Shanghainese Dumplings
We’ll start off with a delicious order of Shanghainese soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao). These delicious dumplings filled with piping hot soup made of crab, beef or both will leave your taste buds begging for more. We’ll then have some doughier pan-fried bun dumplings called sheng jian bao. While these remain much less well-known here in the States, if you love XLB, you need to try their fried cousins.
Sichuanese Malatang
After padding our stomachs with these Shanghainese delicacies, we’ll want to get some spicy Sichuan fair. Malatang, a deliciously fiery soup made from a combination of different ingredients ranging from quail eggs to lotus roots will blow your culinary mind away
Authentic Dim Sum Lunch
Our third stop will have us tasting a variety of traditional Hong Kong based dim sum dishes in one of the last remaining cart style dim sum institutions in NYC. Expect a slew of delicious and interact dim sum dishes from spare ribs to shrimp dumplings
Milk Tea and Chinese Deserts
Nothing like closing out the delicious day with a huge selection of different sesame and fruit based deserts. We’ll also visit one of the original, and in my opinion the best, milk tea shop in Flushing.
