"Sammi and Soupe Dumpling owners Xiao Dan Song and Ting Liu’s newest project on the Ste-Catherine strip features Shanghai specialty sheng jian bao, an oversized, doughy dumpling with a crunchy pan-fried bottom. Stuffed with either pork or shrimp, this snack is the star of the show; other menu items include wontons (check out the chili oil variety) and various steamed bao. Qing Hua Dumplings, another of the couple’s outlets, is just a few blocks away on de Maisonneuve in case there’s a lineup." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
