The Fun Gor (粉粿), Chiu Chow Style, at Urban China in Edmonton were pretty but not otherwise very exciting and only got a Rating of 3 out of 5.

The Fun Gor (粉粿) with Mushroom at Palais Imperial in Ottawa were well made, extremely tasty, and well deserved a 5 out of 5 Rating.

Generally, when Fun Gor dumplings appear on a Dim Sum menu, they are of the ‘Chiu Chow’ variety, or 潮洲粉粿, which are more particularly described in my review of the Chiu Chow Fun Gor at Fan’s. The Fun Gor dumplings you see above were served to me at the Palais Imperial Restaurant in Ottawa and replaced the Pork and Peanuts in the ‘Chiu Chow’ type with diced Mushrooms and Water Chestnuts. I prefer the Pork variety myself, but these were very good.

The Fun Gor (粉粿) at Yang Sheng were of the Chiu Chow Style, and, while not the best I have had, were not bad and got a Rating of 3 out of 5.

The Shu Mai (燒賣) at Yimin in Ottawa were nicely bite-sized, but, overall, the quality was mediocre and they only got a 2 out of 5 Rating.
