The Duck and Dumpling
Went to the Duck and Dumpling again tonight and as usual it was great. I started with some sui mai. Small pockets of goodness stuffed with a shrimp and pork. Steamed in your own little bamboo basket, then topped with a drop of oyster sauce. The chef takes time every day to make these fresh, so they always satisfy.
When I go to the duck and I’m feeling like something light, but filling, I will often get the Steamed Sea Bass. It a good size piece of fish lightly steamed until flaky. There really aren’t too many spices on this dish, the fish speaks for itself. For service, it’s placed on a bed of steamed bok choy and green onions. The focus of this dish is the fish, the accompanied vegetables and the bowl of jasmine rice on the side are do their job well and add simple flavor, but make you focus on the fish
