January 14: Dim sum, delivered
Dim sum from Ming’s Seafood
19 Pleasurable St., Malden
There are couple communal eating settings as entertaining as dim sum, sharing endless smaller plates — buns, dumplings, noodles, far more — with buddies. Like a good deal of folks, I’m not definitely investing time in big teams and indoor eating options at the moment, but of system I’m lacking that feeling. Receiving dim sum sent is not very the exact same — okay, it is very a great deal absolutely nothing like truly likely out for dim sum — but it was a nice way to invest a weekend morning, a little something a small various from our common at-home breakfasts and brunches, and it bought me dreaming of the day I can purchase this spread all over again but in particular person.
Given that I moved to the Malden-adjacent edge of Medford past year, I have been slowly building my way by way of pretty a handful of incredible Malden dining alternatives, and I have had quite a few dim sum spots proposed to me, notably Ming’s Seafood (which also has a Quincy location) and Sun Kong. This time all around, we went with Ming’s Seafood some photographs experienced caught my eye on Instagram not too long ago, and I was eager to give it a test.
We went all in on all things crispy and/or shrimp: steamed shrimp dumplings in jet-black cuttlefish wrappers, embellished with a bit of gold (photogenic, if that is your point, but also delightful) crispy shrimp in red rice rolls and crispy shrimp rolls with celery. Salted egg yolk buns, turnip cake, and durian pie had been also hits, and our one particular-yr-outdated couldn’t get more than enough of the fish balls. (If you are curious about durian but worried about its infamously pungent odor, attempt the durian pie it’s an approachable dish for durian inexperienced persons, a flaky pastry stuffed with a evenly sweet, almost melon-like filling, and the odor isn’t anyplace near as potent as that of refreshing durian.)
