Petite Dumpling

Petite Dumpling - Review - Park Slope - New York - The Infatuation

"Petite Dumpling is an appropriately named, tiny Chinese restaurant on 5th Avenue that you could easily miss if you weren’t on the hunt for plump har gow. (Which begs the question—why aren’t you?) The Park Slope spot quietly serves dishes you won’t find anywhere else in the neighborhood, like thin-skinned soup dumplings, and chicken sticky rice tucked away in a lotus leaf. There are a few tables inside the narrow space where you should eat mala cucumber salad next to a seven-year-old slurping wonton soup after a particularly strenuous day of 2nd grade. If you opt for takeout, skip the soup dumplings, which don’t travel well. photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte Pause Unmute Food Rundown Har Gow There is nothing more beautiful than plump pink shrimp shining through translucent skin. Order this. Better yet, consider getting one order per person. (They come in fours, and you might need four to yourself.) photo credit: Kate Previte Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings These thin-skinned dumplings deserve your undivided, sitting-in-a-chair attention, so make sure you get them to stay. photo credit: Kate Previte Mala Cucumbers A cold crunchy bite in between all your soft, soupy pockets of meat. There’s a hint of spice, but nothing a New York City toddler can't handle. photo credit: Kate Previte" - Willa Moore
