Marco Polo Cafe

Does dumplavoli sound like something you'd want to eat?

Dumplavoli are dumplings and ravioli mixed together because as everyone knows, Marco is an Italian first name and Polo is Chinese. Well, at least he visited there.

I actually don't remember which dumplavoli I ordered but it wasn't really that great. The pan-seared dumplings were also just okay, but neither of these were why I went to the Marco Polo Cafe.

The aforementioned cafe touts their signature pan-seared shanghai buns as the most delicious buns in town. I can't speak to that but I do know that they are pretty darn good. I would have liked a little less dough but the pork inside was very tasty. Well worth a visit to dumplavoli land.
