The meat in Shanghai these days is getting worse and worse. It's not fresh, and they even added star anise. I only tasted one bite of each of the two zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) before throwing them away. I will never buy from them again!

This was delicious, better than some dim sum restaurants. I steamed it using my rice cooker and it was soft and moist, just like at the restaurants. The only thing missing is the egg yolk and the Chinese sausage, but I dont usually eat that anyways so this is perfect for me. Definitely will order again.
