Tang Bao – Giant Juicy Pork and Crab Bun

DUMPLING WEEK!

Wang Xing Ji was our favorite restaurant of the day. Known for their enormous crab and pork soup dumpling, this place also makes a killer chicken xioa long bao. It was so freaking flavorful, I couldn’t stop eating them.

We also fell in love with their Green Onion Noodle. at first it looks like a bowl of bland, unsauced noodles but stir that sh*t up and behold the magic elixir that lay pooled at the bottom. These are a must order.

The infamous Giant Pork and Crab dumpling is sort of a mess to eat. You are given straws with which you suck out the innards before you rip apart the flesh.

The crab flavor was a little too strong for me and the entire table agreed that the chicken dumplings were the favorites.

Wang Xing Ji is located in San Gabriel in an enormous NIGHTMARE of a strip mall with crazy difficult parking. We endured three altercations with unruly folks (someone stole our spot, someone took too long leaving their spot and once we finally found a spot, the person parked in front of us asked us to move) so try to come early to avoid the madness.

You may just committ homicide that day…just for some dumplings.
