Oh little dumplings, soft and round
Custard, taro or char siu bao
Steaming gently in carts, on plates
Eagerly the table waits
Crispy, salty, suddenly sweet
Always, always too much to eat
Foreign scents, exotic sights
Rouse my tastebuds to ecstatic heights
Oh my, shu mai
Good grief, gin doi
What restraint I must employ
For sooner or later, I anticipate
They'll have to tally what I ate
