      Hi there. Thanks so much for your sweet note. And for watching! I'm so glad you felt it too. I really wanted Maxi's story to touch people as much as it moved and touched me. Maxi makes you feel something about life and living and the importance of love and devotion. It's nice to remember these things. Her mom is such a part of her... and believe me, these dumplings and wontons are incredible because of it. Have a great day!

    Their wontons are spectacular, hefty size and flavorful. I bought a bag of frozen wonton for home.

      I completely agree!!! I can’t wait for her to distribute her wontons and dumplings into more stores! It’s smart to keep a stash at home 😉

    Thick skin is better than thin skin. So I have been told. Born in Tsuen Wan.

      I have had amazing thicker skin dumplings throughout other cultures and regions. Sometimes when it’s colder out, I crave thicker skin dumplings. To me, it really depends on how hearty and flavorful the fillings are. Does it need a more delicate skin, or a thicker skin for balance. You?

      @@foodcurated Please read again. I have been told I am thin skin and need to thicken my skin. Sorry I had to be cheeky. Being born in Hong Kong. We are notorious for that. Thanks.

      @@user-er3ri6sc3j Hahaha OK you’re right thick skin is best for survival and longevity. I totally get and appreciate your humor! I missed that. Though some people say being vulnerable with a thin skin helps emotional growth!
