Dumpling Xi's Desserts Are Quite Satisfying Too 🌟
🌺The red bean paste glutinous rice balls and black sesame paste glutinous rice balls are so simple yet delicious! They taste like something made at home! For just $3.99, you get six soft and chewy rice balls with a filling that pulls like cheese, and the syrup is thick and rich without being overly sweet. I couldn't resist packing another order to go after finishing the first one. 🍬 As a southerner, I hadn't tried Xiadie (Xi Jia De) before, and my first experience was quite refreshing. Watching the aunties make, arrange, cook, and serve the dumplings in the open kitchen was very reassuring. 🌺 There's a reason why it's so popular. The zucchini, egg, and shrimp skin dumplings are fresh and refreshing. The triple delicacy filling is large and chewy, and the corn and fresh meat dumplings are sweet and juicy. The pan-fried dumplings are not greasy at all; the dough is more chewy and fragrant than the steamed ones. The dumplings with a mix of meat and vegetables have a better texture than the all-meat ones! If I could only choose one, I'd go for the zucchini and egg ones. 🥚 🌟 The braised pork bone pot has meat that's so tender it falls off the bone, with delicious marrow. The dried tofu absorbs all the meat juice, and there are also marinated eggs. It's a satisfying meal for fitness enthusiasts! 🏙️ The fish slice pot with Chinese curry sauce is quite refreshing and perfect for summer. This place is becoming my new go-to comfort food and dessert spot. 😆 I often find myself packing some dumplings or syrup to go when I pass by.
