We tried Korean dumplings, Japanese dumplings and Chinese dumplings! Which one is best, yee shall find out! BTW - our breathe was GREEEAATTT! Check it out! P.S Felicia's mandarin is awesome.
It's very al dente. I'm going to use that word a lot.
This is going to be bomb.
When you bite into it, the juice comes out.
These look legit.
This might not be bomb because it's made by Juan.
I like the, um, oh, it's chicken. No, it's not good.
I think this is actually delicious.
Oh, I'm not so sure that one's going to be that good.
Chinese and pork and leek.
But hey, looks can be deceiving.
More pork and leek.
But I'm really excited to try all of these.
Okay.
Your finest dumpling.
What is this?
This is chicken and mushroom.
Smells good. I can smell the mushroom.
Dude, these are good.
I taste the mushroom.
They're kind of bland.
I think it's because it's a chicken dumpling.
It's a pork or beef or anything else.
It'll have like a stronger flavor.
So I need more mushroom in there.
I think it's pretty darn mushroomy.
Can you taste the mushroom?
I can definitely taste it.
It's mostly mushroom actually.
It overpowers the chicken a little bit.
I think it's pretty darn good.
I need another one.
Like if you blow it back in your face,
you can feel the aroma of the mushroom.
Six.
I give it a seven.
Seven and a half.
I'll give it a seven.
These look really good.
This is excellent.
Kind of has like a sesame oil.
Way down.
Chinese people say like shin.
You know, like that umami.
It tastes very satisfying in my mouth.
I like the texture.
I think it's very al dente.
The skin is better because it's thinner.
I think this is better than what I expect
a frozen dumpling to be.
Food just shot out of Felicia's mouth.
At least it didn't go back onto the plate.
Stop eating.
No, no, I don't know.
Seven and a half.
Seven.
Whoa.
Oh my gosh.
They're massive.
Should we split this in half?
We can't.
Wow.
I never knew you could have a spicy dumpling.
I don't really like punching dumplings to be honest.
Okay, do it.
I would rather take blandness and add sauce to it.
You see what I'm trying to say?
No.
In here is so flavorful.
I like how they have like small pieces of clear noodles.
There's onion.
There's chives.
There's like chili.
There's pepper.
We've got everything.
A Korean dumpling, you can tell
because they put like 25 different ingredients in there.
You would totally believe this is restaurant quality.
These are better than the ones I have at the Korean restaurant.
No, if they charge me 20 bucks for five of these.
Yeah.
I would, I would pay it.
Holy cow.
9.5 out of 10.
Give it a nine.
I think this is the best.
You haven't even tried the rest.
I don't need to.
In our breath, I would give 9.5.
8.5.
Is this even Chinese dumplings?
Ew.
I don't know.
The color's a little bit dark.
This is a meatball with a layer of dough over it.
Yeah, it looks like there's a lot of meat inside, which might be really good.
It's a little chewy.
It's a little chewy, like in Star Wars.
A lot of meat.
This is actually really juicy.
This is very meaty.
Yeah.
The meat is tasty.
Very tasty.
Juan's came through.
Didn't someone say, like, low expectation is the key to happiness?
It is.
Actually, like, eight.
I think I'm gonna give it an eight, too.
It's really good.
Out of nowhere.
Very good.
Seven and a half.
I give it an eight.
We can go to the same dumpling restaurants.
Isn't this the one that we're supposed to pan fry, but we just ended up boiling them?
Yeah.
This is the thinnest skin ever.
Silky, I don't know.
That's why it's meant to be pan fried.
Nope.
These were not meant to be boiled.
I don't know.
The flavor is...
I don't like the flavor of gyoza.
The filling doesn't taste like beef.
It has no taste.
It's just like...
Bleh.
I always get, like, pork gyoza, or pork and chicken gyoza, or seafood, right?
I never get beef, and I think that's why I don't get it, because it doesn't taste that good.
We decided to do this because, like, on an even playing field.
All boiled dumplings.
I can taste the skin more than the filling.
So in terms of taste, this does not cut it boiled.
Yes.
4.5.
Yeah.
Yeah, I give these, like, a four out of ten.
Are you gonna burp?
Aftertaste.
There's some aftertaste in this.
Yeah, it's not pleasant.
It's got a weird aftertaste.
I don't know what it is.
This looks very plastic.
Are these real, or are these displays?
I know.
I know this came from a factory when you look at it.
I'm gonna lower my expectations.
Doesn't even look that appetizing.
It feels like rubber.
Like, I feel like if I drop this, it would bounce away.
Yeah.
I'm not feeling it.
Man, these are hard.
It tastes like if they took a bunch of veggies.
I actually don't hate these.
I think they're pretty decent.
And then put it inside, and then put a bunch of MSG on there.
The filling is really, really good in this one.
It's flavorful.
Not too bland.
This is not a good Chinese dumpling.
Not too meaty.
You could probably trick somebody into thinking that it's all veggie.
But the skin tastes like starch.
Six and a half.
Seven. I like this one.
Five.
I give it a five, because I like this one better than the beef one.
What is this?
This one looks similar to another one we had.
The one.
This reminds me of a homemade dumpling.
At home, this is just what they look like.
Upon first examination, these look quite hard.
The skin, very bad.
It's too much, too hard.
It's so tough and thick.
It's almost as if they don't want us to eat the insides.
It's the barrier.
Skin's a fail.
I like this filling.
But I'll tell you, the flavor of the meat.
Oh yeah, once you get into the inside, it's pretty juicy.
And it's a really good balance of sweet and salty and pulky.
I would have liked a little more chive representation.
Life hack, if you make dumplings from scratch,
you can run it underwater before serving it, and it won't stick.
I would give this one a seven and a half.
I'll give them a 7.5.
They're pretty good.
Yeah, yeah.
I think seven's about right.
There he goes again.
So I think the accumulated smell of our breaths could kill a cat.
I love packaged dumplings.
Absolutely love packaged dumplings.
They're so easy to make and they're delicious.
And they're cheap.
That was our massive dumpling store-bought frozen dumpling tasting.
But there's like a bunch more out there.
I know like for a fact that the ones I typically eat weren't on any of our lists today.
Because we couldn't find them.
Thanks for watching, guys!
See you next time!
Oh my gosh!
Did you just burp?
I just burped and it was nasty!
Oh my god, it was like a bomb of kimchi.
She just dipped it in the thing.
How's the sauce?
