Dumpling Fest at Mr. Ching Cuisine
花より団子

“Dumplings are better than flowers.”
There comes a time in everyone’s life when the craving for dumplings is so strong. So strong, in fact that the siomai sold by vendors in pushcarts near schools and also some Baguio neighborhoods is not going to be enough. (Affordable as they are, they’re tiny. There’s much …or rather, little to be said about your choices for dumplings, too. *ngahaha. Oh, not unless, you’re happy with tokneneng like the delicious ones from the store in front of UB. Ohhh, wow, major craving.)
Steamer Stack \m/
When this craving to eat nothing but dimsum or dumplings hits you, a great place to go in Baguio would be Mr. Ching Cuisine at the Baguio Palace Hotel. This is a Chinese restaurant that you can rely on for dimsum galore (and other delectable dishes, we’ll have to try those sometime).
Dimsum Menu
In our August dumpling fest, Race and I had a seasoned attendant to take care of us. He was quick to take our orders and quick to deliver what we needed. He even anticipated our needs like bringing us glasses of water without us even asking for it. (Manong for the win!) You just have to adore the professionals. =D
In retrospect, I would’ve asked for a bigger dipping dish like a soup bowl maybe. =))
We could’ve gotten more if we weren’t sidetracked in Prince Plaza Hotel. bleh
Two months after that, on our second visit, a young attendant was assigned to our table. He wasn’t as good as the other guy *sigh. He gave our dimsum orders one at a time (when I was so giddy to take a photo of a tall stack of steamer thingies). But anyway, there was nothing that could dampen our happy mood – the mood set by the shrimp tail, Chinese coated, snowball dumplings, machang and spring rolls.
Shrimp Tail Dumplings
Chinese Coated Dumpling… maybe they missed a word. Coated Chinese Sausage Dumpling would’ve sounded better. oh well. =D
Snow Ball. My favorite. The white gummy coating gave this an interesting texture. (“,)
Machang…good with hot sauce a wise man said. We’ll do that next time. =)
Spring Rolls
If you’re hungrier than what four or five varieties of dumplings can satisfy, you can order some Chinese fried rice (oh yeah, more of those rice mixes that can double up as an entrée.) We got the Hong Kong rice which was wonderful. Everything else depends on how well you mix your dip to complete the flavors for the perfect meal.
HK rice, iced tea and the Mr. Ching surroundings =D
A successful dumpling festival! It was a nice and filling meal for P470 for the three of us (Beth, Race and me). The next time we crave for dumplings, we’re lugging Karla along. (Eeeeiii, I could just imagine the steamer stack then. Oh my gosh, I want to go now!)
Our faces say it all. “Dumplings ARE better than flowers.” \m/
