So I lived in Beijing for 8 months and would eat dumplings at least three times a week. Five kuai roadside dumplings, fancy purple ones, you name it, I've tried it.
When I left I was REALLY upset about the prospect of never tasting the same calibre of dumplings again so I did a quick google search and came across Mother Dumplings. Wooee the Mother of all Dumplings? Well guess what -this mother has neglected her children because the whole experience was extremely underwhelming.
In search of a new source to satisfy my dumpling addiction I came across Dumpling House. I'm glad to announce that these have been the best dumplings I've had in Toronto so far. Perfect thickness of jiaozi dough, great fillings, and superb chilli for your vinegar-chilli dipping combo. Four stars, because I want to remain credible, but in my head it's really 5.
