Pling

Been meaning to try this dumpling place on Lower Westheimer for a while.

It's called Pling, a dumpling restaurant that can pan or steam your dumplings.

I got the Kimchi Tofu, which it really is not over powered by the kimchi taste.  The tofu bits are hard to pickup once broken up.  But it's nice and crispy.

Then I got the KFC - Korean Fried Chicken Pling.  (Oh I get it now - Pling - short for DumPling ... LOL). Anyway, it's chicken stuffing and drizzled with Korean marinated sauce.  It does have some kick to it.  Not super spicy, but definitely more kick than I thought it would be for a little dumpling.  Again, it's pan fried and crispy.  I would come back for this one next time.

I found these yummy dessert at the cold case - they are made by SKM Pastries, who had done the Korean cookies at the Alice Box,  These are Panna Cotta, one is the Dalgona Coffee, which if you remembered was all the rage on social media where people whip their coffee at home during lock down.  The other is Matcha Latte flavor.  Both went very well with the panna cotta itself.  It's not overly sweet, flavor was not overly strong.  It mix well with the two and the consistency matched well together.  I highly recommend getting it if you have the chance.

You can call your order ahead of time, they don't have online ordering at this time. And oh, they're closed on Sunday.  So, don't stop by.  As busy as the area is, they have a nice size parking lot.  So, makes it easy to visit them.
