[@alvindurochermtl]

There is a simple reason why Gordon's dumpling didn't pass the head chef's scrutiny. Dim Sum is predominantly a Cantonese or Southern Chinese cooking, and Southern Chinese cooking puts great emphasis on subtlety. The roast duck in the dumpling predictably overwhelms both the subtle flavour and delicate texture of the shrimp and scallop. That piece of garlic was also unnecessary and overkill for steamed dumpling. It's all about balance.

[@vsaminat]

Also there were too many proteins muddling up the texture. He would have done better to separate out the scallops prawns and duck into their own dumplings and serving them as a medley

The appearance of a dumpling is extremely crucial. As nearly every Chinese can make dumplings, when we see a badly shaped dumpling, we only assume it to be made by kids when they just play with ingredients for fun. Because dumplings in the North part of China are being boiled rather than streamed, so if a dumpling is not properly wrapped, it cracks open in water and tastes bad.
