Absolutely gorgeous as still life, and as an invitation to eat. Thanks for sharing.
As I love Asian food, I am positively drooling, looking at these pictures.
Most of what you photographed I know (or have met on a menu) but what are crystal dumplings?
crystal dumplings are a variation of har gow, except the wrapper is less translucent and more chewy. this particular dumpling had shrimp, king crab and pork as the filler. it was also fried as opposed to steamed, so the crystal reference is not obvious.
Thanks for your reply.
I can well imagine that frying rather than steaming a dumpling would transform or alter the texture; I've had dumplings of various kinds in central Asia, and always loved them, irrespective of how cooked and how served.
Shrimp king crab and pork would be delicious.
Meanwhile, what exactly is har gow?
pretty sure you've had this, super common at dim sum and always shrimp.
