Went to this place for dinner last night. It was featured in one of those "cheap eats" magazine articles. I had me a feast and ordered steamed shanghai dumplings (siu loung bow), green onion pancakes and wontons with red chili oil.
The green onion pancakes were crispy and flavored just right. I originally didn't eat them correctly, apparently I figured out after a half piece later that you're supposed to eat them faced together, not taken apart. No wonder one side was kind of greasy and salty!
The dumplings were good, but it's not as extraordinary as I would have expected, given the press it received.
The wontons with chili oil were great! I've had this dish at a different restaurant before and had wondered what else was in the oil as it was very flavorful and reminds me of something that I've had before, but couldn't quite place. So ... the restaurant last night had the chili oil mixed in with PEANUT BUTTER!!! The combination may be strange, but let me tell you ... it's GREAT!
Wish I had pictures to show, but I ate most of the food before I thought of it. Oh well, maybe next trip there.
