Yummy!!! The dumpling skin is soft and not tough. I am very picky about the shrimp dumplings. This one is not bad for frozen dim sum. The shrimp inside is good. Of course, it won't be like what you will find at a dim sum dine-in restaurant, but it's pretty close and really not bad! I will buy this again! It must be steamed. Do not microwave it. Try it and see for yourself.

Tasted this brand before and it was delicious, unfortunately this time with Weee’s delivery turned out to be a disaster, instead of getting frozen dumplings got three bags of dough since dumplings were stuck together! Do not order any frozen food from them as they just don’t know how to pack it yet.
