Orlando, you’re going to want this one on your date list. ♥️🥟

Jiang’s Kitchen in Downtown Orlando is a beautiful new family-owned spot serving everything freshly made to order—with 18-pleat xiao long bao that are a must order ✨

We loved everything we tried, from the steamed dumplings and crispy scallion pancake to the rock shrimp, dan dan noodles, cucumber salad, and Thai milk tea.

And apparently, Chef Eric Jiang isn’t done yet… 👀 More concepts are coming soon!

Save this for your next Orlando food adventure + send it to your dumpling date! 🥟

📍 Jiang’s Kitchen | Downtown Orlando | 27 E Robinson Street, Orlando, FL 32801

Six new food kitchens opened in HMart’s Phase 2 of their Food Hall, and I was excited to check them out with family friends!

🇰🇷 Today, DDUK DBANG was our destination. We tried their yogurt slushies, crispy pork cutlet, soy garlic chicken and rice, and a Korean cheese-filled hot dog. But my favorite bite was their Cheese Chicken Topokki, and this is the dish I will be returning for. ✨

Stopping by early was definitely a good call. The weekend crowd is busy, so definitely give grace to the staff who are trying their best. The wait for us was definitely worth it.

✨ Phase 2 Kitchens:
• Dduk Dbang: Traditional and modern Korean street food
• Curry 88: Japanese-style curry dishes
Mari Mari: Specialty maki rolls and seaweed rice bites
• Seoul Hotteok: Sweet Korean pancakes and desserts
• bb.q Chicken: Popular Korean fried chicken
• SORIMMARA: Spicy Korean-style mala dishes

⏰ Food Hall: Open 10:30 AM - 9 PM Daily (final orders taken at 8:30 PM)

📍 HMart | 7501 W Colonial Drive, Orlando, FL 32818

Thank you so much Dduk Dabang Orlando for having us! Huge congratulations on your opening!

When your spouse asks what you want for dinner (or lunch)....

Just give me Smokemade and paper towels. 😋

Slow-smoked barbecue was the craving, and Smokemade Meats + Eats was the only solution! This visit was overdue, but they will always be one of our family’s favorites. ♥️

DO NOT skip ordering their brisket... or homemade bread... or dessert...

✨Proud Bib Gourmand —fabulous and so well deserved! — two years in a row!

📍 Smokemade Meats + Eats | 1400 S Crystal Lake Drive, Orlando, FL 32806
