The warm aroma fills the room to scale
The bite-sized dumplings make my hunger grow
My heart pounds and I’m eager to unveil
Each sweet surprise enclosed in sticky dough
Perhaps inside contains a soup-filled treat
An unexpected burst of soothing warmth
Like fire on a cold day brings me heat
A xiaolongbao sparks pleasure in my throat
Or maybe a mandu will be my pick
Its crispy skin a satisfying crunch
Concealed inside, a startling spicy kick
From kimchi’s hot distinctive pepper punch
From spicy to sweet savory delights
The only way to know is take a bite!
