Damn my ratings have been as generous as the food served at Chinese Dumpling House. Dishing out them 5 stars like this place dishes out dumplings. I value two things in life: a bank account that's not in the red, and good food. My family has the same idea which is why every time we come here, we lose all sense of self control and order 2/3 of the menu. Those prices! That flavour!
My favourite things are very simple: pan fried long dumplings, and cold century eggs with soy sauce and cilantro. Fried dumplings are my vice and the ones here are juicy and delicious. I unashamedly ordered and finished a plate of these babies by myself. Multiple times. No regrets. On the other hand, cold century eggs offer the best flavour/texture contrast with everything else on the table and I always have to order these. Be warned that century eggs have a very peculiar taste/smell/look and isn't for everyone.
Honourable mentions include:
1) Beef noodle soup - classic, comforting, noodles
2) Green onion pastry circle thing - literally a circle of delicious, flavourful dough.
3) Spicy fried fish - crispy exterior, soft interior: the fish version of tsundere.
To be honest, I haven't come here in awhile so I don't remember the rest of the menu items we've ordered but I do remember it all being pretty good. After writing this review and remembering how much I miss this place though, you can bet my broke ass that I'm coming back within the week.
