Soup Dumpling

Soup Dumpling explores Asian food across a series of regions in China and Taiwan showcased in NYC’s Chinatown. This project stemmed from an exploration of the impact of Covid and anti-Asian racism in NYC on Chinatown and the businesses inside of it. This book is a tribute to some of the restaurants in Chinatown that make this community and work to showcase what they offer. As a part of this booklet, I partnered with restaurants in Chinatown after my year-long exploration of Chinatown cuisine and each restaurant's top dishes. The goal of this exploration was to produce a booklet that captures the food on camera and provides information on the dishes, the preparation, cultural background, and the overall significance.
