Photo of the Day: Steamed Mini Crab Dumpling

20081107-potd-crabdumpling.jpg

I had to do a double-take when I saw this photo of a steamed mini crab dumpling in Renée Suen's Flickr. I've seen some creatively shaped dim sum in my life, but never a pink dumpling in the shape of a crab, complete with pincers, a speckled "shell," and black sesame seed eyes. Renée says that the dumpling was filled with fresh crab meat, shrimp mousse, and vegetable sprouts. To get your own pink baby crab dumpling go to Lai Wah Heen in Toronto.

It looks like a jellyfish too! It's so cute. I would eat it in a heartbeat.

This is quite creative! However, I couldn't eat anything with eyes looking at me, even if it's only a dumpling. I'm not too crazy about pink either.

@Jaywarner: Not too crazy about pink? That's not what you said last night! j/k - I just had to! :P

It is very cute, almost too eww-y like it's living thing that'll blink lovingly at you with those sad little eyes, and lick you like a puppy. Looks like good eating too.

hahah i love this! it makes me want to head to my favourite dim sum restaurant right this moment and demand for a creation like that!

this is the cutiest dimsum! i wonder what they going to come up w/ next, goldfish hao gao? can someone make that for me?
