Do you like dumplings?

Chinese food is part of our culture in the Philippines so I love noodles and dumplings. However, I am not much for Chinese food when it comes to snacks because I find it salty. Just taking care of my kidney so I try to avoid salty food. For occasions the noodles will always be there although sometimes we also have dumplings.

I have only seen them on TV. I wouldn't mind trying them considering how yummy they look.
