Delicious!  Delicious!  Delicious!  Have I said that word enough?  It's the best way to describe the chive and pork fried dumplings, as well as the pork fried buns from Vanessa's Dumpling House.

Located in Chinatown, here in New York City, it is good eats on a budget.  These dumplings cost me a mere $1 for 4; and the pork buns, $1 for 3.  An absolute bargain!  The juices ooze out upon taking a bite - fresh, hot, savory and flavorful.  Simple culinary goodness!

While cooking it's always nice to have an enjoyable snack until your meal is ready.  I think I made the right selection and my tummy loves it.  Happy Holidays!

Dumplings:  $1-$4 (depending on the flavor and quantity), Buns:  $1-$1.50

Address:  118A Eldridge Street, b/w Grand & Broome Street, NY, NY 10001, (212) 625-8008/8118
