White Rose Dumplings

White Rose Dumplings were named as such by the French. This dish is famous among tourists because they are not just beautifully presented, but are very good to the taste buds! It is made from white rice flour, and stuffed with cooked shrimp meat. The translucent color of the flour blending with the color of the stuffing makes it look like a white rose petal.

Cau Lao
