We’ve discovered a new meal: Dessert Brunch! 🍪🍰🧁 We had a great time checking out @kookiehaven in Oak Cliff & trying out some of their sweet treats, including their new Stuffer Pie. Basically, it’s a pie with a cookie crust & cake inside, which is as indulgent & delightful as it sounds. It’s a larger version of their popular Stuffer Cupcake & also comes in a (super adorable) mini pie size. We highly recommend the Salted Caramel! 🤤 PS Kookie Haven now ships their cookies & brownies nationwide! Great gift idea for your out-of-town friends & a great way to support a local #blackownedbusiness! 🍪📦 Thanks to @kookiehaven for hosting us! 📷: #DallasFoodNerd contributor @amypyen

Soup dumplings, how we love you. 😍 We checked o Soup dumplings, how we love you. 😍 We checked out @kitchenmaster.tx, which opened in the midst of the pandemic last year in Frisco & which serves a delicious mix of noodles, stir fry & dumplings, which you know are handmade because you can watch them make them from the open kitchen at the front of the house. The soup dumplings are some of the best we’ve tried in DFW & this is the only place in the Metroplex we’ve seen offer truffle soup dumplings, a la Din Tai Fung. They are on the pricier side & only come 6 to a steamer, but are so filled to the brim with that delightful broth, you will definitely want to order more. The rest of the menu has some gems as well. We liked the tan tan noodles, which were bouncy & delightfully peanut-y, & we’ll be back for the beef noodle soup. Regardless, you can never have too many dumpling spots. 🥟🥟🥟 📷: #DallasFoodNerd contributor @amypyen

Sometimes you just want your ice cream to be a lit Sometimes you just want your ice cream to be a little extra, you know? 💁🏻‍♀️ We stopped in at @somisomiicecream, which specializes in a Korean dessert called Ah-Boong, a fish-shaped waffle cone with fillings & soft serve ice cream. Soft serve flavors range from traditional favs chocolate & strawberry to more rarely seen ube & black sesame. Altogether, the whole thing makes for a delightful, Insta-worthy treat for a nice day. 🐟🍦Check out locations in Carrollton & Frisco! 📷: #DallasFoodNerd contributor @amypyen
