mothers dumplings

so rom had been telling me about this chinese dumpling place called mothers dumplings, that gets crazy good reviews. me being a food lover and a definite lover of dim sum, i needed to go to this joint. so saturday night before basketball we went there so i could give the place my own personal review. so for starters ordered a seaweed salad. not the ordinary seaweed salad you would get from a sushi restaurant. darker in color and less of that sweet taste. finely chopped garlic, ginger and red chillis mixed throughout give a great basic flavouring.next came shrimp, egg, and chive steamed dumplings. very straight forward and very delicious. the actual dumpling itself was really light and not thick and gluey as they can be sometimes. these were my fav out of the bunch.next after one set of dumplings came a beef bun. i would have preferred a bbq pork bun because those are my fav but they didnt have them. the beef in the bum was unreal. so juicy, so tender, and soooooo much flavour. i would highly reccomend this.after the beef bun came some boiled dumplings. these were the vegitarian chive and noodle dumplings. again the actual dumpling itself was great but this time the fillings werent as good. over packed with chives, i didnt even notice noodles.and the last dumplings we got were some beef and chive steamed ones. these ones were mediocore for me. i thought the beef tasted strange. not a bad strange just strange haha hard to describe.the aftermath
people leave testimonials. my favorite was "ate so much it hurt" and "your dumplings are so INTENSE!"
anyways i really wanna go back and try some other things on their menu. they have a decent selection of pancakes which sound good and same with a couple soups. check the website if you need directions. they also have to go stuff, so you can cook it at home if you would like to but come on, its more fun when someone cooks for you.
