Xiao Long Bao the "Little Dumplings from Basket"

Crab Xiao Long Bao right out of the steamer

The sac of yummy goodness...my mouth is watering at this point

First bite, then suck juice :)

During my trip to NYC in 2004, I experienced Joe's Shanghai for the first time and I don't think I ever stopped talking about going back there. My wish came true this past Sat. It tasted as I remembered....steamy, juicy, and delicious. Each plump dumpling contains a little pork or crab meatball surrounded by a delightful meaty broth. Last time I ate it, my friend Malcolm told me to first take a bite out of the top and then suck out the juice. Bite, then suck, then bite again.
I was in dumpling heaven. We also had some fried dumplings and fried rice. I can't wait to go back for dumplings.
