AMAZING
1st KHINKALI
Mama Manana, Kyiv
Plate of mutton with mint, and sulaguni cheese filled dumplings. Heavenly!
2nd KHINKALI
Gogi, Kyiv
I love dumplings in pretty much any form. Let me tell you, these khinkali are phenomenal! Packed with salty, molten cheese that oozes out for an amazing cheese pull from your mouth. Season the exterior, pick it up by the knot at the top with your hands and devour!
2nd KHINKALI
Gogi, Kyiv
Meat filled, with a little soupy broth that will burst out of your first bite. This is the big brother of the dainty Chinese Xiao Long Bao it resembles. And there's more of it so I'd contend it's better!
3rd SHIU MAI
Din Tai Fung, London
These were foodgasmic šŸ˜
4th PORK XIAO LONG BAO
Din Tai Fung, London
The classic XLB lives up to expectations šŸ„ŸšŸ‘šŸ»
5th SHIU MAI
Din Tai Fung, Seattle
A favourite at Din Tai Fung for good reason. Always good šŸ˜‹šŸ„Ÿ
6th THREE SPICE PRAWN
Sumthin Dumplin Lorne, Auckland
Wholemeal flour wrapper, with juicy spiced prawn and pork filling with a little water chestnut in there too. It's got a gorgeous fried, caramelised base and is topped with fried shallots and sliced green onion. The killer is the signature chilli oil sauce, with bits of pork fat in there to bump up the savoury flavour and add a mild but worthy heat. Top notch dumplings! šŸ„Ÿ
7th XIAO LONG BAO
Shanghai Village č˜‡ę­åå°åƒ, Melbourne
Not as much soup inside as others I've had, but no bad thing as there's a) no risk of explosion as you take the first bite and b) it cools a little quicker so you can get to the eating much sooner which is a definite bonus!
8th IDRIJSKI ŽLIKROFI

11th CHERRY VARENIKI
Puzata Hata, Kyiv
Sour cherry in boiled dumplings, topped with śmietana and sugar. I wasn't sure what to expect, but these were delicious and moreish šŸ„ŸšŸ˜‹
12th TRUFFLE AND PORK DUMPLINGS
Din Tai Fung, London
Fancified XLB with truffle. Note: let it cool down a little otherwise you won't appreciate the flavour as you torch your tongue on the hot soup!
13th XIAO LONG BAO
Dumpling Shack, London
The only 6 pack I'm ever going to be showing off šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‹šŸ’ŖšŸ» šŸ„ŸšŸ„Ÿ šŸ„ŸšŸ„Ÿ šŸ„ŸšŸ„Ÿ

REALLY GOOD
17th XIAO LONG BAO
R & H Chinese Food, Richmond
A mainstay on the dumpling trail. Freshly made, generous with the soup and a good portion size of 6 pcs.
19th SHIU MAI
Empire Seafood Restaurant, Richmond
A little bit too salty so arguably didn't need any soy sauce to dip it into
20th PORK AND CRAB SOUP DUMPLINGS
Din Tai Fung, Seattle
10pc portion didn't last long between two diners. I prefer the pork staple over this blended variant.
