Shumai
Shumai (simplified Chinese: 烧卖; traditional Chinese: 燒賣; pinyin: shāomài), also romanized as siu mai or shaomai, also called pork dumplings (although often other types of dumplings could also be filled with pork), is a type of traditional Chinese dumpling served as dim sum.
Popular Chinese varieties
In the Qing dynasty, the fillings varied by season: garlic chives in spring, mutton and pumpkin in summer, crab meat in autumn, and mixed seafood in winter.
Many varieties have been created as shumai was gradually introduced to all provinces, where it was adapted to the different regional tastes throughout China. However, most people in Western countries associate shumai with only the Cantonese version due to the Cantonese diaspora.
Cantonese siumai
This is the most well-known variety from the south-eastern province of Guangdong. As prepared in Cantonese cuisine, siumai is also referred to as "pork and mushroom dumpling." Its standard filling consisting primarily of ground pork, small whole or chopped shrimp, Chinese black mushroom, green onion (also called scallion) and ginger with seasonings of Chinese rice wine e.g. Shaoxing rice wine, soy sauce, sesame oil and chicken stock. Bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and pepper can also be added. The outer covering is made of a thin sheet of lye water dough. The center is usually garnished with an orange dot, made of crab roe or diced carrot, although a green dot made with a pea may be used. The decorative presentations vary.

Never Wanted Your Love
by: She & HimI can't help it, I can't win
I don't wanna let you in
And then you do it again
Take it off but take it slow
I don't wanna let you know
And then you do it again
I'm not talking to you anymore
Making my bed so I can lie there forever
I don't know what I'm doing this for
All I know is that I'm tired of being clever
Everybody's is clever these days
Take a win, take a fall
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
You're so close that I can't see
You keep trying to bother me
And then you do it again
Say you're right and I'll agree
I don't wanna set you free
And then you do it again
I'm not talking to you anymore
I'm making my bed so I can lie there forever
I don't know what I'm doing this for
All I know is that I'm tired of being clever
Everybody's is clever these days
Take a win, take a fall
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I'm not talking to you anymore
I'm making my bed so I can lie there forever
I don't know what I'm doing this for
All I know is that I'm tired of being clever
Take a win, take a fall
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
Take a win, take a fall
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
I never wanted your love but I needed it all
