I’ve never been a big fan of mocha ice cream. I don’t really like the texture and (non)flavor of the pound sticky rice coating and the small amount of ice cream filling is never satisfying enough. I’d rather have American ice cream or Italian gelato any day.

Ping Pong, Washington DC
I appreciated the different colors and shapes of these dumplings and the fillings were pretty tasty too. What I didn’t appreciate was that they were over steamed so the wrappers were soft, mushy and gelatinous. The pork bun was good.

Honey roasted chicken puff, chicken and black pepper spring roll, crispy prawn ball, panko crusted edamame and crab cake, sweet and sour sauce. Lunch prix fixe $25
Ping Pong, Washington DC
Meh, I thought that the prix fixe price was great, but I wasn’t that impressed with the dim sum items and especially not by their lame sauces. The chicken puff tasted great but I thought the pastry was a too thick for the filling ratio. The spring roll was your usual spring roll. The prawn ball was over-fried as was the edamame crab cake.
