What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was mesmerized by the massive size and craftsmanship of the giant crab and pork soup dumplings in the San Gabriel Valley. He found the experience of using a straw to drink the rich, savory broth from the fist-sized dumplings to be incredibly satisfying. Alongside Mike Chen, he particularly enjoyed the unique sweetness of the traditional Wuxi-style fillings and the interactive process of seasoning the dumplings.
