Dazzling Dumplings

Our next food adventure embarked on a favourite of mine, Chinese dumplings in 
Sydney's CBD. The restaurant was the popular Din Tai Fung within the WorldSquare Centre. The weather was cold so warm dumplings were a great choice to compensate the for the low outdoor temperatures. Dumplings are great as they are severed in various ways, 
this includes pan-fried, streamed or soup dumplings. The chosen dishes were a mix of soup and steamed dumplings. Firstly the soup style dumplings chosen were Shrimp 
and Pork in Tangy Wonton and just a Shrimp and Pork Wonton Soup. 
The steamed dumplings were the Pork Dumpling with the other choice of Shrimp and Pork Dumplings. 

Each dish choice was great and very flavourful, I must also mention that the waiter 
service was very quick and efficient. As usual most dumplings are best eaten hot and 
freshly made, the steamed dumplings were soft and burst in your mouth when eaten. 
The pork and shrimp infusion was great as when eating it made for a great infusion 
but extremely favourable. The sauce used for the tangy wonton was mildly spice and 
a combination of a sweet and sour texture. 

Interesting facts about dumplings is that that they are eaten on the fifth day of 
the new year suggesting you will have good wealth and prosperity. Another fact is that Dumplings are considered food to be eaten on the go when you are busy. 

Dumplings are the equivalent to sushi in Japan, they are the central focus when choosing 
a significant cultural dish. The dumplings eaten at Din Tai Fung were excellent 
and I will definitely travel to their restaurant again for another dumpling adventure!
