Hello to all food lovers.
I really love Asian cuisine and the best place to eat it in Milan is in Via Paolo Sarpi, the main street in the neighborhood also known as Chinatown.
In this place you can find countless restaurants offering the best oriental cuisines. It is my favorite neighborhood to have dinner in Milan.
Yesterday I went to a restaurant and tasted some typical Chinese and Korean dishes.
I decided to start my dinner with a plate of steamed Chinese dumplings, I love them and every time I go to one of these restaurants I can't help but order a portion.
The xiaolongbao, this is the name of the dumplings that I have ordered, is a type of Chinese steamed pasta from the Jiangnan region and in particular associated with Shanghai and Wuxi and can be filled with meat, fish, vegetables. The ones I chose were stuffed with minced pork, beef and chicken, flavored with ginger, spices and Chinese cabbage. A real delicacy.

Another dish for which I go completely mad is the Korean gimbap.
The gimbap is a rice roll traditionally filled with seasonal vegetables, eggs, meat, crab enclosed in a nori seaweed.
Very often it is confused with sushi, but don't be fooled the two dishes are completely different and come from two completely different countries.

I also ordered a tteokbokki dish, or Korean rice cake.
Unlike many people to whom I have made them taste I really like the consistency of these rice dumplings which are very gummy.
The sauce is very spicy although the level of spiciness of the one I tasted in Italy is in no way comparable to the one I ate in Korea.
They are served with vegetables and a few pieces of fish cake

A dish that I had the opportunity to try for the first time was the zhajiangmian a dish of cold noodles with Peking sauce, consisting of minced meat and mushrooms. I found the pasta really good and the sauce tasty, very nutty and sweet at the same time. I really liked it a lot, I absolutely didn't regret my choice.

In conclusion I really enjoyed this dinner and will definitely come back to this restaurant.
