I would always get it at out chinese place when I was younger. Chinese was equivalent to Asien, back in those days. 🙂 And I loved it. In Paris you can get wontons on every street corner at Vietnamese stalls. I used to get some there, no fuss with making my own wontons when I was a student, and make a soup. These wontons are filled with a juicy pork and prawn / shrimp filling and will knock your socks off.
