After writing about food for so many years, I still have some deeply hidden pocket lists. This handmade dumpling specialty shop only sells raw frozen dumplings; there is no dine-in option, you have to cook them yourself.
What makes these dumplings special is that I, someone who originally didn't eat chive dumplings, became a regular customer after trying theirs. I seriously think there are no chive dumplings in Taichung City that can rival theirs. Is it really that exaggerated? Let's keep reading.
Chive Dumplings: I used to dislike chive dumplings because many shops chop the filling very finely to make it easier to wrap, resulting in a poor texture. But look at Xiao Bei Ping's version; the chives inside are still clearly visible. Those who know how to make dumplings understand that such a filling is harder to wrap because of the gaps between the ingredients. However, dumplings wrapped with this kind of filling are not only delicious and juicy, but you can also enjoy the crisp texture of the chives themselves.
Bottle Gourd Dumplings: Speaking of bottle gourd (hu gua) dumplings, it's generally not easy to find them outside. When I go to Xiao Bei Ping, this flavor is often sold out. This time they had them in stock, so of course, I grabbed a bag without hesitation. Unlike the crispness of the chive dumplings, the bottle gourd dumplings are all about being savory and juicy. Compared to using just meat filling, the addition of shredded bottle gourd makes the whole dumpling taste exceptionally refreshing and appetizing.
