No frills or thrills at this casual Triangle spot
We are a dim sum -loving family. When our kids were smaller, we were frequent flyers at the local Sunday cart-service joints, including Shanghai, Fortune, and T&S Seafood. When we travel we seek out the best local dim sum joints . But sometimes we don’t want all the other stuff that comes with dim sum , like scallion pancakes and custard buns and salt and pepper squid. Sometimes we just want dumplings.
What kind of dumplings do you want? Boiled? Pan-fried? Steamed? Are you looking for soup dumplings? Potstickers? Wontons? There’s a whole cornucopia of Chinese dumplings in the world, and Dumpling World offers a cross-section of them, with iterations on jiaozi, those highly recognizable crescent-shaped bundles stuffed with an assortment of proteins and veggies.On a warm Saturday evening, five of us crammed into a booth and sampled as much of the menu as we could manage without overdoing it.
Out of curiosity, we ordered a couple of noodle dishes: eggplant and minced pork and peanutty vegan sesame sauce. These got mixed reviews: I enjoyed the sesame sauce, which was analogous to pouring peanut sauce on rice noodles . It was mildly spicy and, with the addition of some protein, would be a perfectly serviceable meal.
This was more than enough food for the three of us, but I’ll admit to some FOMO on the Chinese burritos, a dish in which you stuff egg roll wrappers with shredded pork, potatoes, or scrambled eggs and veggies. They’re a street food treat in China, and my spouse and I plan to return just so we can try them.
