It is another edition of cultural food wars brought to you by TripCrazed! This will probably be one of the hardest Food war battle for everyone. (Don't we always say that?)
This week we have two Asian delicacies. Both are delicious dishes that I have personally enjoyed and usually crave 24/7.
Thailand Pad Thai:If you have been living under a rock or have not been formally introduced to the wonders that is Pad Thai: Listen closely!
Pad Thai is a dish of stir-fried race noodles with eggs, fish sauce, tamarind juice, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts and your choice of chicken, beef or shrimp. It it served with a piece of lime and sometimes red chili pepper.
AND IT IS DELICIOUS.
Chinese Dumplings:These little dumplings (haha) are usually found in a variety. They can be steamed or fried.
They are basically minced meat and chopped veggies wrapped in a piece of dough. Some mixtures include ground pork, beef, shrimp, chicken or fish.
AND THEY ARE DELICIOUS TOO!
Who wins the cultural food war this week: Pad Thai or Dumplings?

Dumplings! Actually, I love both and want them right now. *drooling*
oooooh tough choice! but I have to go with dumplings
my gut says dumplings even though I love them both.
I love both, and though right now I'm craving pad thai, I like dumplings whether they're called dumplings or gao zi or gyoza or mandoo or whatever they're called in all the languages I don't know, so I'll have to go with the dumplings =P.
dumplings! you can never get bored with dumplings because there is so much variety! even sweet ones!
Gah, they are both wonderful, but I'd have to pick Chinese dumplings.
dumplings are the best!
I've yet to visit Thailand to have real Pad Thai, but the dumplings in China are so fantastic...They get my vote for this one. Leek and garlic dumplings mmmmmm.
Dumplings. Although I adore pad thai.
BOTH ! but i love pad thai :D
pad thai ♥
Pad Thai, who knows...one could sneak a little human embryo in those little dumplings. Ahhhhhh j/k, but I the seafood kind of dumplings are nice too. :D
I'm voting for the Chinese dumplings - especially filled with beef, leek, and garlic!
But Pad Thai is very good too!
Dumplings, hands down. I don't like Pad Thai very much. :(
most def padthai.
dumplings vary too much. most don't taste too great. but when they're good, they are GOOD.
I don't like thai food, so chinese dumplings it is!
Both. And I'm craving for both of them too <3
both are good but if i had to choose, i'd go for the pad thai.
PAD THAI. no doubt. although, i'm biased because i've had it in thailand and it is a bajillion times better than here in the states.
dumplings :) though i do love pad thai
Dumplings are infinitely more delicious. *tears up* They're so good.
That is tough...:( I can't decide.
PHAD THAI
Thailand Pad Thai looks the best. It makes my mouth water just looking at it! But, admittedly, I can't give an informed opinion on this. I haven't tried either dish. I know people who have, though! :p I have always wanted to try Pad Thai, though. :) And it looks more appetizing, personally. But, I know that looks can be deceiving. :) Especially when it comes to food! :p
I love both and now I'm starving to death. Thanks a lot!
