i usually dont like taro but 芋頭角is pretty good! I never had it when i lived in Taiwan but when I came to Canada, I went into a phase where i'd have 4 orders of these+ other dim sum in one sittering

those are so good, but extremely unhealthy. I indulge once in a while, hehe...but it's the perfect combination of textures: a melt-in-your-mouth crisp,airy exterior encasing an unctuous mixture of taro and meat. Mmmmm

what is taro?
i had taro boba and taro boba milk tea be4 but i dont know what it is
i heard theres taro soup too...
is it a fruit/vegetable?
Atmosphere.
Aug 18 2008, 08:26 PM
wow mostly people who posted here LOVES that, i actually never heard of taro dumpling.
because i haven't been focusing on asian foods, more of american fast foods.
maybe my taste is not suitable for "oriental" foods just yet. maybe when i grew older with
different taste bud? cause i started to enjoy celeries and broccolis, when i hated them before.
dang i wonder if i will end up eating oriental foods such as these in the future!
and i'm sorry to hear that your grandma didn't buy them! you got addicted to that, huh?
first you said it tasted funny/nasty. how exactly did you got used to eating it? was it because
you would eat it everyday? or you didn't had other foods, just that so you kept eating them?

omg, one of my fav things to eat at dim sum. too bad the closest dim sum is 2 hours away from my campus D= NOOOOOooo. I love nibbling on the crust because it's so flaky and yummylicious. But alas, it's so unhealthy....
Oh, and for somebody on the second page that asked what taro was---it's a root, a veggie that's closely related to the yam
