As regular readers of this forum already know, I've eaten a lot of ethnic food. But one that I've somehow missed is the Chinese soup dumplings aka xiao long bao. I always planned on hitting Captain J's to try them. Alas, now Captain J's has changed it's menu and no longer makes them.

I'm not a big food truck fan (sorry, I just simply prefer sitting down in a restaurant to eat - in the old days, when food trucks were good to great food at CHEAP prices, I loved them. But now. . .)

So - anybody know another source for these dumplings instead of Chirba-Chirba? I might even be willing to do a road trip to get them.

I'd imagine that you could get them frozen at Grand Asia Market or Li Ming's.....

Wow, are you sure? I was just there about 2 months ago and they still had soup dumplings.

If im not mistaken isn't that the restaurant that has 2 menus. The authentic and American version. I always read good reviews about the dumplings on here and wouldn't think they would stop selling with as much hoopla about them. Like 2 restaurants in one.

Apparently Gourmet Kingdom in Carrboro - except they're called "steamed buns" on the menu - I haven't tried them there yet.

Ive not been there. But "steamrd buns" are not the same thing. They look very similar, but are totally diffetent. Let us know what you find out.
