For the longest time I have wanted to try Mimi Cheng's dumplings. Hungry and in the neighborhood, Hannah and I decided to pop in for a mid-afternoon snack. This East Village spot is the place to come for homemade and handmade dumplings. It is a blend of Chinese-Taiwanese cuisine for dumplings that taste just like the ones the owners' mom made for them as a child. The meats and ingredients are grass-fed, free ranged and totally organic. Mimi's special sauce is another delicious family recipe.
I loved being able to watch the dumplings be created in front of my eyes. You can get them stemmed or fried depending on your preference. Hannah and I shared two orders of dumplings. First, The Mimi Cheng, packed with chicken and zucchini. Second, The Reinvented Classic, stuffed with pork, bok choy and cabbage. These tasty bites provided the perfect appetite quencher and escape from the snowy day.
bon appétit
