Shanghai Heping at Mott Street!

Family meal at Shanghai Heping on Mott Street! It's rare for me to seek out Chinese food - so maybe it's because I haven't eaten it in a while, but I was pretty impressed with this place:

Crab and Pork Steamed Soup Dumplings: these were good, but I thought the pork soup dumplings that we ordered (not pictured) were much better. My aunt said the skin was a little too thick on both (compared to the ones she had in Taiwan), but for me it was fine. The soup flavor itself was really good for the pork dumplings.

Fried Tiny Buns with Pork: I've always seen these on the menu when I go for soup dumplings but I've never ordered it, so this time I decided to give it a try. It's good for what it is, and there's some soup inside as well.

Dong Po Pork: stewed pork belly with bok choi - this dish was so good. The pork belly (and pork fat) was all melty and matched perfectly with the sweetness from the stewed soy sauce. This was served with steamed white bread (which was great), but I love eating these stews with white rice so that the rice soaks up the sauce.

Stir Fried Snow Pea Tips with Garlic: fairly standard Chinese style preparation of leafy greens and this was really well done - very delicious.

Stir Fried Eel: this was awesome - this was sorta like eating unagi don, but instead of teriyaki, it's flavored with garlic, ginger, and soy. This went perfectly with rice.
