Happy Lunar New Year! LNY is a great excuse to enjoy Chinese food, and we have been celebrating the occasion by having dinner at one of the many Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. This year, we walked to Happy Noodle House along Davie Street. We have tried their food in 2022 when we had it delivered (see post here).
This evening, we ordered their Xiao-Long Bao, Hot Chili Wonton, Chive Pockets, and House Special Chow Mein. It's a feast!
The first to arrive at our table is the Xiao-Long Bao, and it's truly top-notch. Nibbling the delicate wrapper gives way to a burst of savory, rich broth and tender meat.

Then, we received a plate full of their House Special Chow Mein. The sauce covering the thick, chewy hand-pulled noodles provides a deep flavor. It's so comforting and satisfying.

Afterwards, the Chive Pockets and Hot Chili Wonton came. It's our first time trying both dishes ever. The Chive Pockets have a crispy exterior filled with tender, onion-y flavor.

Meanwhile, the Hot Chili Wonton is filled with savory pork served in a spicy chili oil sauce, providing a deep, spicy flavor. It's not the best thing I've had today, and since it's my first time trying this dish, I'm unsure how it compares with others.
