Steamed Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gao) (4 pcs) in Calgary

(61 reviews)

Our Steamed Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gao) comes four to a bamboo steamer, each one pleated by hand so the wrapper turns translucent in the steam and you can see the pink shrimp through it. The filling is plump and snappy, seasoned lightly with a touch of sesame so the shrimp leads. At $7.00 an order it is the plate we suggest starting with from our Dim Sum menu.

About Our Steamed Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gao) (4 pcs)

A good steamed shrimp dumpling is judged on its wrapper. Ours is rolled thin from a wheat and tapioca starch dough, pleated by hand around the filling, then steamed until it turns glassy and holds together when you lift it with chopsticks. Too thick and it goes gummy; too thin and it splits in the basket. Getting that balance right takes practice, and it is why these are made in-house.

Inside, the shrimp is kept in large pieces so it stays snappy rather than turning to paste, with just enough seasoning to support it. The four dumplings arrive in their bamboo steamer, still hot, and are meant to be eaten straight away. Order them on their own for a light lunch or alongside a BBQ plate as the opening course of a bigger meal.

What Customers Say About Our Steamed Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gao) (4 pcs)

Terry B.

Takeout Regular

"The wrappers are thin enough to see the shrimp through and they did not tear when I picked them up. Four good-sized pieces for seven dollars."

"Steamed fresh, not sitting in a cart somewhere. The shrimp inside is whole and has a proper snap to it."
