In Milan, the famous Ravioleria Sarpi (two stores, both on the same street), one sells dumplings and also Jianbingguozi. The staff of this store even appeared on the Italian version of MasterChef, teaching the contestants how to make dumplings during the stress test.
The pork dumplings are thick-skinned, delicious and juicy, but the price is a bit expensive to eat fresh, 3 euros for 4. You can also buy them raw and cook them yourself, 5 euros for 8.
The taste of Jianbingguozi is very similar to what my friends had in Shanghai, but there are no crispy slices, a little less fried dough sticks, and the extra amount of sausage is not very large. A portion with sausage is 5 euros.
Along the way, we went to another store on the 25th and had Roujiamo, with meat crisps with fat and lean meat. The main thing is that the fat is not greasy, even I, who don’t eat fat, can eat half of it with the steamed bun. The store also sells steamed buns, but I plan to save my stomach for snacks from other stores.
Both small stores have no place to make them, they are all made and sold on the spot, and you have to queue.
