Question of the Day: Chinese dumplings—steamed or fried?

Fried. Everything tastes better fried. Actually, I believe they refer to it as 'pan seared' but its essentially fried.

Milkshakes: should they come with whipped cream on top or not?

I've never been served a milkshake with whipped cream either. If anything I imagine its more of a garnish than an actual flavor enhancer.

NSW, well I had to quote myself in the prison context to nail it down to one noodle dish. Bun cha, unquestionably, is top of the heap for Hanoiophiles like you and I. But taken as a nation, Bun mam pips it in the noodle dish stakes. Although, and somewhat paradoxicaly, if I was asked what is the best Vietnamese dish, I'd have to say Bun cha. Although best southern Vietnamese dish is banh trang phoi suong.

Honmura An is the mother of the noodle houses in NYC (except for in Chinatown) but get there while you can. The owner is actually moving back to Japan so they will close in about a month....

I did a podcast with David Chang right before Momofuku Ssam Bar opened. You might want to have a listen, he's a very interesting guy.

And some photos I took at Momofuku:

Question of the Day: Chinese dumplings—steamed or fried?

Hey Adam, you may read that particular post here.

I also linked it up that photo, too for the other curious minds. Any questions, just post it on my blog.

Question of the Day: Chinese dumplings—steamed or fried?

Yeah. I did link to her Flickr of it, but I was hoping she had an in-depth write-up on Wandering Eater. I like the soup dumplings the most. I finally learned how to eat them like a pro (or at least a serious amateur).

Question of the Day: Chinese dumplings—steamed or fried?

I'm with Megnut on the soup dumplings, but if I can't have xiao long bao then I'm going to have my dumplings fried! My second favorite dumplings are actually gyoza, which are both fried and steamed.

Adam, I think you linked to tina.w's Flickr photo of cha sui sou earlier.
