Richmond: Guided Dumpling Tour with Tastings｜Canada

Embark on a guided food tour of Richmond, British Columbia, the culinary capital of Chinese cuisine in North America. Discover the regional diversity of Chinese dumplings and street food as you visit several locations.

Begin your tour in Richmond, just south of Vancouver, and explore the city's vibrant food scene. Enjoy a seamless experience as your host handles all ordering and table reservations, making it easy to navigate Richmond's often busy and complex food scene.

Sample dumplings and other dishes from three distinct regions of China. In Southern China, try delicate, translucent-skinned dumplings like sui gow or classic wontons. In Eastern China, enjoy xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and learn the proper technique for eating them without breaking the delicate skin. In Northwestern China, experience bolder, aromatic spices like cumin and lamb-based dumplings or hand-made bread, representing the flavors of regions like Ningxia and Xinjiang.

Throughout the tour, your host acts as a cultural bridge, explaining the history of Richmond’s "Golden Village" and the nuances between different regional cooking styles.
