After wandering around the pre superbowl festivities last Saturday night in downtown Phoenix, I found myself at the public market dancing and hungry! I decided to walk around to see what food trucks were there, when I saw I truck I had never seen before. It had no visible name, but there... right on the menu... I saw 'juicy pork dumpling.' Could it be?!?! Yes... it was in fact xiao long bao..... my dreams had come true. I got about 8 large pieces of xiao long bao for 9$ and ate every one.... they were good, not the juiciest I had ever had, but the flavor was there. If I could buy these dumplings off of this truck again, I certainly would. In fact, can this truck just park outside my house and serve xiao long bao all of the time? That'd be greeeeeat.
PS The truck had a gong on it.... and they let me hit it (!!!).... bang bang indeed!
