Mei Mei makes some of the best dumplings in New England at its factory in Southie, and the secret sauce is traditional technique combined with a diverse influence of flavors. The Chinese American family-owned company—which started as a beloved Boston food truck—has grown into a community-focused wholesaler, supplying awesome shops and markets throughout the region. To bring it home for the holidays, Mei Mei is opening up the dumpling factory on December 6 and 7 for a pop-up winter market that centers and supports other diverse local businesses.
The BIPOC Holiday Market at Mei Mei includes Black, indigenous, Latine and Asian makers, including Sweet London Bakery and Their Art on Saturday, Ichigo Sweets and Silver Whisk Bake Shop on Sunday, and more. Along with stocking stuffers, specialty items and more gifts for everyone on your list, Mei Mei will be serving up free samples and hot drinks, plus their full café menu including lemongrass pork dumplings, curried sweet potato dumplings, the signature Double Awesome scallion-pancake egg sandwich, scallion pancake cheeseburgers and more.
