I was hooked the first time I tasted that fatty and hot broth enclosed in a doughy capsule! After my first encounter, all I could think about were those doughy envelopes of pork and steaming, fatty broth. My first introduction to Joe’s Shanghai (the Chinatown one) was when I photographed a Time Out New York, BYOB story (another thumbs up for BYOB). When I heard they had soup dumplings I started to salivate!
I placed the dumpling into a large soup spoon via chop sticks and drizzled some brown liquid sauce over it (excellent complimentary flavor). The moment I place my lips on the moist, doughy shell I knew I was about to be pleasured. When I bit into the soft outer layer, a hot fatty broth rushed into my mouth, only to be cooled by the complimentary flavor of the brown liquid sauce. After the initial slurp, I consumed the rest of the dumpling in one bite. The numerous flavors and textures I tasted were hot, sticky, doughy, salty and fatty. How lucky was I that I could go through this experience again with the next dumpling!
One day I decided to go to the Flushing Joe’s Shanghai and the soup dumplings were somehow better! Not to say that the others were bad in any shape or form, but the Flushing soup dumplings were fattier and the soup was hotter. There is nothing better than to get a little burn from the soup! I enjoyed that immensely! But if you can’t make it to Flushing, go to the other locations for some presents in the form of dumplings!
