    the second juicy dumpling one is from brand name bibigo which is Korean brand. They’re very reputable brand they’re known for their dumplings and have whole line of other food products.
    I love their shrimp fried rice and regular chicken dumplings too. All delicious!

    Bibigo makes good battered chicken with various sauces, the orange chicken is really good. It's actually made by Schwan's which I just found out when I saw the grocery clerk stocking the freezer.

    I don't know. I've had the Tonkotsu and it's good. We've had the Meteor noodles, Pho, shrimp wantons, and others but the Tonkotsu disappeared like lightning compared to the others. Though my favorite remains the spicy buldak. The soup dumplings I have yet to see at my store, but am on the lookout for them.

    The tonkatsu nongshim are great, in the scheme of instant noodles available outside of Asia. But they are... no longer available, at least in Australia. Appeared to be discontinued late 2022 or early 2023.

    Hi Mike. Love your content. 2 questions: 1. These soup dumplings look like Mila. Are they the same? 2. Why bite the top and drink the soup out? That ruins the whole experience of getting the soup, meat and dough together. I don't get why people would do that. Thanks!

      The soup dumplings one gets in a restaurant are too large to pop in the mouth and they have much more soup in them. It's easier (and less burning) to break open the top and drink the soup out with a straw.

    Can't believe you gave the beef pho dumplings 9.5/10 when you gave the soup dumplings a 9/10. I think the soup dumplings are great and 9/10 is pretty accurate. But the beef pho dumplings do not deserve 9.5/10 nor is it better than the soup dumplings. I would give them a 6.5 to 7/10. The skin is hard / tough to chew if you microwave it. I did not try to steam it. But steaming it might be better. The flavor is good, but still not as good as the soup dumplings. Gyoza flavor is good but can't say they are restaurant quality. Deep frying them might be a different story.
