Jiao is my new go-to restaurant in Palm Springs for delicious Asian-inspired small plates! These crab sui mai, though, were probably my least favorite thing I’ve had there. They were bland and you could barely taste any of the crab! The wrapper was also dry. $7
Jiao, Palm Springs CA

Assorted dipping sauces. The crunchy one is my favorite! They’re all a bit salty, but I seem to douse every dish with some combination of these sauces, lol!

I love that they trim to old palm fronds that hang down on the palm trees. They look like tight pencil skirts!
That’s disappointing that the crab wasn’t very good. It seems like such a good idea. I love it when you find a good dumpling where you can really taste the seafood. They make a pretty decent lobster dumpling at Chau Chow City in Boston, MA where you can really taste the lobster.
Cool, I put it on my to-do list. Thanks!
