Did anyone catch the Xiao Long Bao contest at Richmond Night Market in the summer?
Bob Blumer from Glutton For Punishment was there filming an upcoming episode. He lost of course!
Looks like the consensus is Lin Chinese Cuisine!
The winners were:
"A large energetic crowd showed up, most of them cheered for Bob, but… Chef Miao from Lin Chinese Cuisine won first place. Their Xiao Long Bao that won last year’s Chinese Restaurant Awards Northern Dimsum category still stands proud and strong.
Second place is a tie: Chef Yip of Northern Delicacy and Chef Sonia Li of Point Zero, Four Fusion Restaurant.
Third place goes to Chef Jimmy Yang of Golden Fortune Restaurant.
Fourth place is Chef Peter Yang of Legendary Noodles.
And last (but not least) is the very host of Glutton for Punishment - Bob Blumer, who only had 5 days to learn the culinary art of the most difficult dumpling to make.
But the judges all agree Bob’s XLB filling tasted very good!"
