Claire and Jessica are in town for Market today, and stayed with us last night. They got here just in time for dinner and I was so excited to take them to Royal China. I had heard that they had great dumplings but hadn't been yet. When Claire and I lived in New York, we spent many Sundays laying around and ordering pork buns from the Happy Dumpling, so I knew she would be excited. The dumplings at Royal China were incredible! Perfectly steamed and delicious, but the dim sum selections were even better! We had the "Purple Haze" which looks a bit like a sushi role, but is actually eggplant wrapped around pork dumpling filling. And the Pearl Rice Dumpling Balls, basically a pork meat ball covered in rice, were to die for! Buck's BBQ Spare Ribs were tangy and saucy, although a bit messy (I may have ruined my shirt). In addition to the delicious food, they serve really good sake and in the cutest little individual size bottles. Trey and I will definitely be back as it is really close to us, at Preston Royal and very affordable. And for all of you who do not live in Dallas, just another reason to come visit me! :)
mmmm...sticky pork balls.
