Our Story
About East Meets West LLC.
Several years ago, at potluck social dinners, I began to notice
that food lines would invariably merge to my wife's Chinese
dumplings line, and thought Americans might enjoy this delicious
food if we could commercialize these ancient recipes. After nearly
two years of substantial research and development — with many
failures — we believe that we have created an authentic product
that many Americans will enjoy.
All of the recipes are authentic and likely passed down through
many generations of my wife's Mongol and Haan ancestry near the
Mongolian and Russian border in Northern China.
Along with our authentic line of dumplings, in future months we
plan on introducing an Americana line of dumplings under the
mantra: "Of course Americans change everything, even food."
Some initial ideas are Memphis Sweet BBQ dumplings as well as other
innovations.
We hope that you enjoy these traditional Chinese recipes as much as
we do.
"Nothing is more important than the food."
