S’agapo’s fried dumpling is fluffy, flaky and delicious! The key is to drizzle clover honey over the dumpling, which makes it good as either appetizer or dessert in my book. The Cretan cheese is smooth like ricotta and the mint is subtle. While you attend to eating other appetizers, fried dumplings can lose their appeal as they cool, but a revisit to these after consuming the main dish proved them to be equally delightful as when they were first served. Now that’s a winner!
