din tai fun's shanghai soup dumpling: no fewer than 18 perfect folds in the paper-thin dumpling wrapper, warm salty soup surrounding a fatty nugget of pork.
vs.
crystal jade palace soup dumpling. she was, perhaps, not quite as structurally sound. but her wrapping was whisper-thin, so overflowing with soup that her edges spilled out over the lip of my spoon, and her pork nugget dissolved silkily into the rich soup.
crystal jade wins.
makes my mouth water!
