Ocean Palace Truffle Shumai with Shrimp and Pork Price

Ocean Palace's Truffle Shumai with Shrimp and Pork is a modern take on the classic shumai dumpling. This dish features a savory filling of ground pork and chopped shrimp, infused with the earthy aroma of truffle. The mixture is then wrapped in a thin wonton-style skin and steamed as an open-topped dumpling, allowing the truffle scent to emanate from the finished product. This inventive dim sum creation is priced at $9.65.

This truffle-infused version offers a gourmet twist compared to the traditional pork and shrimp shumai also available at the restaurant. Many Ocean Palace Truffle Shumai with Shrimp and Pork reviews highlight the "intense, aromatic truffle flavor" that elevates the classic dumpling into a more decadent experience. It can be enjoyed alongside the classic Steamed BBQ Pork Bao, the sweet Steamed Cust-ard Cream Bao, the rich Steamed Salted Egg Lava Bao, or the savory Steamed Mushroom and Chicken Bao.

Shumai is a staple of Cantonese dim sum with a history spanning centuries, but this truffle variation is a distinctly modern culinary innovation. This creative dish is available at Ocean Palace, a Houston institution renowned for its authentic Cantonese dining experience for over 20 years. Offering this contemporary shumai alongside traditional favorites served from classic pushcarts showcases the restaurant's ability to honor generational techniques while also catering to modern palates in its expansive 500-seat dining room.
