Most people challenge themselves by running a marathon or climbing Mt. Everest. Well, not this chica. I've never wanted to run a marathon or make it to base camp 1. My Challenge: I want to find the city's best soup dumpling. You might think I am crazy....But I think I am passionate.
The other night I was sitting on the couch, watching Gossip Girl with my roommates and heard the most absurd thing...I was told there's a BETTER soup dumpling place around the corner from Joe Shanghai's at this place called Shanghai Cafe! What!!! How could this be?! Is there really something better than Joe's and it's been under my nose this entire time? No way Jose!
Anyway, I went to Joe Shanghai's last night for my weekly fill of soup dumplings. As per usual, the TsingTao beer was refreshing, the potato scallion pancakes were greasy and the soup dumplings were steamy bites (and slurps) of deliciousness. As we paid our $11 per person bill and left my haven, I thought to myself - Erica, you should really branch out.
So the Girl in the Dress is on a mission...to see if Shanghai Cafe's soup dumplings are really better than Joe Shanghai's. What will be the outcome? I can't say for sure, but if the soup dumplings at Shanghai Cafe are as good as Joe's and the orange slices as juicy, I'll be the luckiest girl in the world. Until then, Joe Shanghai's is the ULTIMATE in soup dumplings.
To Be Continued...
