Dumpling House Special Dinners

 Dumpling House is having a wonderul set of special dinners for Valentine's
 Day and Chinese New Year (February 14 through February 25).  A friend and
 I went there tonight and were quite impressed with the best Chinese food
 we'd had in Pittsburgh.  There are three choices of soup and three of
 dumpling with each dinner and six different entrees.

 The first course is hot and sour seafood soup and their house special seafood
 and chicken soup, both of which were excellent.  Starving from having spent
 the day at the hospital we were quite happy to see the second course arriving
 as we finished the first--Imperial dumplings in a lovely red spicy sauce and
 green vegetable dumplings that aren't as nice as their dim sum vegetable
 dumplings.  The third course took a while, but we were able to wait now and
 it was well worth it.

 The sizzling scallops were loud enough for everyone to look towards our
 table and were breaded lightly and served in a sweet spicy sauce with all
 my favorite vegetables from red peppers to shiitakes.  The Dragon Dance
 was less spectacular, but was beautiful, being served in a basket of fried
 noodles alongside which was one of their beautiful violet carved radishes
 and topped with six giant fried shrimp in a very delicate and wonderful
 white sauce.

 It's a bit late now (your post just appeared at my site though), but these
 dinners are $14.95 and are offered every year at this time as well as during
 the Christmas season though most of the dishes are different each time.
