we could Tahoe IPA whoa it's locally brewed and it has a really strong flavor of fruits Oh the logo is great it's a tiger cheers Steven kiss mmm good almost slider so then for the pork chow on ball the most important part is the soup inside it's sort of like the soul of the Shaolin Bell so we lift it up from the top we place it at the back leg down there very satisfied a little hole inside to let the broth come out and then please take a sip been away from me or just eat alone okay great I'm following instructions Steven mmm yes and we can add a little bit of ginger with the sauce on top and then you can enjoy just a lot together right no wait we have a drink here yeah I'm not good at how did you poke that so well oh yeah yeah that's really good it's almost lost like the bottom fabric the drop has like a sweetness to it it's so good do people ever eat it in one bite yes they do but please be careful because it's really hot okay somebody's gotta apply it too close to the Sun though so I feel like I want to feel it burst in my mouth there's hot we mentioned it so much in this video but I really have to bring it back to the QQ even though the dough is so thin it still is very satisfying how do you attain that kind of texture in like a film sheet Adam can you try this please yeah it's really good this is truffle and pork shallow Bell why do a truffle soup dumpling edad is hunting no yo yo hey sonu sood house whatever you do change his Omega Omega resolution about tile sooner than the tender young with a jet tub with Hogwarts on cleanse my palate before we get into the evening I do have to point out the pleating on each dumpling they're beautiful oh yes Oh what bougie chairs or father these are awesome okay last season we ate soup the head truffle in and we learned that has to be activated by heat and fat right the truffle in a soup dumpling totally makes sense it really says something about this dough that even though it's still thin you still get that QQ it's impossibly thin a common complaint about our show is that we always just put truffle on stuff to make it more expensive and we see you comments section we see you but these are about three US dollars for dumpling which is expensive but for the taste of truffle how nice this is I'd say that's worth it show title watch it doing truffle right yeah they're not doing it wrong Adam you want to see if they're doing it right so we're here at raha night market because Inka suggested that we come in eats their stinky tofu the smell around the stall is quite stinky but once it's fried it is much more subdued cheers Steve and Cheers [Music] mmm so juicy boy crap speaking of soup dumpling there's a soup tofu if i thinkI tofu okay so before we get to our worth it winners what was your favorite thing in this episode that was not a dumpling my favorite thing was the fire hydrant soy milk a Dalio josue Asian bow place the visuals of that are just astounding if everything was getting dressed like a scientist at Din Tai Fung central kitchen we went through this airlock that blew all the dust and hair off of us and we got to see some really cool behind-the-scenes stuff so Steven which dumpling was the most worth it to you at its given price my war that winner today goes to the pan-fried dumplings at the o j-- oscillation bow the value was incredible there the dumplings were amazing the cabbage bun at that location was very nearly my worth it winner but I have to give it to the steamed pork dumplings at location two like my fantasy of a dumpling is that dumpling ANCA who's your with the winner I don't know it's so hard I want to say - because it's my grandma's favorite but I think it's honestly one Annie Adam says his winners in tight bond next week suit that's right soup again so soon you say trust us Taiwan may be the perfect place to have soup yes so excited there's so many soups with so many soups it's gonna be great so many soups [Music] [Music]

Anyone feel like their comparisons are way too broad?

Feel like they are using "dumpling" like "sandwich" and grouping different dishes and putting them together.

This is like if someone said they are going to have a sandwich competition and the sandwiches in the competition is a Hamburger, a Pastrami sandwich and Beef wellington
