Chiu Chow Dumpling

潮州蒸粉果 - Chiu Chow Dumplings
Chiu Chow Dumpling 潮州粉果 

"Chiu Chow" is the Cantonese pronunciation of Chaozhou 潮州 in Hanyi Pinyin.

Chiu Chow in my opinion created some of most stunning Chinese dishes that are really yummy except most of their dishes are not that well presented. They're otherwise amazingly tasty.

For practically, all my article on Dim Sum will refer the food by its Cantonese name. This is because Dim Sum is basically Cantonese and most restaurants that serve Dim Sum are run by Cantonese speaking Chinse. For example, if you trying to order this Dim Sum by calling it Chaozhou Dumpling, chances are you won't get very far.

This is very tender dumpling stuffed with water-chestnut, green pea and minced pork & shrimp. The skin is made of tapioca flour, that explains why it's almost transparent in appearance.

Is it delicious ? You gotta try it to appreciate.

Recommended ? Yes, but I suspect some find it so so.
