Costco's Frozen Dumplings We Always Pass On
BY Javaria Akbar
While Costco’s freezer aisle is home to many delicious appetizers, you may be better off skipping its Bibigo Steamed Dumplings, which tend to be rubbery, under-stuffed, and bland.
Good dumplings should have a tender, juicy filling swaddled in a thin but well-sealed wrapper that prevents their stuffing from drying out during steaming.
Bibigo dumplings were juicy on the first bite and released some broth, but they had an unappetizing texture and lackluster appearance after two minutes of microwave steaming.
The size and texture of Bibigo Steamed Dumplings may make them better suited to pairing with an aromatic soup, but then they'd be more of an entree than an appetizer.
