Mung bean dumpling (绿豆粽) from Jia Ji Mei Shi (佳记美食)

These local mung bean dumplings from Jia Ji Mei Shi were quite different from the Cantonese variety that's made by Imperial Treasure. I'm not even sure if they were the same type of dumpling even though they were both stuffed with mung beans and pork.

These were denser and less tender in comparison. Still pretty good eating. There's pork, lard and salted egg in them too. It's unexpectedly nice pairing with their generic sweet sauce and chilli.
