Our first stop on the Jackson Heights tour was Amdo Momo Dumplings, they won the Golden Momo Championship in 2015. Momo is a South Asia type of dumplings. When I saw the dumpling picture at the food cart, I thought that it was going to be similar to the soup dumplings on Shang Hai, they were shaped the same way and it was displayed on the traditional bamboo dumpling steamers that Chinese use. When we the dumplings, I noticed that the dough was thicker than Chinese cultures and they served it with spicy radish pickles and white sauce. The combination was delicious; the spiciness and the sourness of the pickles help the dumpling bring out even more flavor.
What did you think of the filling, seems very different from Chinese dumplings, no. I’m impressed that you manage to make them look good even on Styrofoam container.
