Chinese Inspired Dumplings & a Little Nostalgia

The stuffed dumplings I made recently brought back memories of the pork dumplings we had at Oriental Plaza about a month ago.

We’d picked them up from a small Chinese restaurant tucked into the corner of the plaza. It was well past lunch, so the shop was quiet the owners were off in the back and front of house, focused on assembling a delicate crepe cake, while one attentive server managed everything else.

The dumplings? Absolutely delicious. Plump, flavourful, and generously filled with juicy pork mince. They were served with a variety of sauces, though soy was the only one we could confidently identify and used. The boys enjoyed them so much, they went back for seconds. Unfortunately, the shops POS system was down that day, and since we didn’t have any cash, we couldn’t explore the rest of their menu. We even had to return the cool drinks which was a real let-down for the boys, especially since they stock some unique, niche brands the boys love.

Exercise extra caution!

Unfortunately, petty thieves tend to be more vicious around this time as they also prepare for the festive season. Culturally, many Batswana go home for the holiday, and petty thieves are amongst those who go home. Burglaries, car break-ins, and attacks on unsuspecting pedestrians seem to be on the rise!That is not all, as scammers continue to take money from pensioners as well as other Batswana who may fall prey to their unscrupulous tactics....
