Dim Sum is my favorite. My absolute favorite. And, let me tell you, I can eat. So when I've mustered up the appetite for several pounds of dumplings, I'd prefer that my wallet not drop a few pounds. Seattle is a great spot for classy dim sum (read: Din Tai Fung), but sometimes you just want more variety for a lower price. Even though Dough Zone may not have a Michelin star, it has 5 Mahak stars. Haha. I'm so funny. So grabbed one of my closest friends and prepared for the dinner of a lifetime.
For our first course, we ordered a bowl of congee. They serve a different type each day of the week, and today just happened to be yam. My friend is a big fan of oatmeal, so we figured she would enjoy the texture and overall feel of this rice porridge. The traditional flavor of congee is neutral and borderline bland, in which case, Dough Zone hit the nail on the head.

These spicy beef rolls are my favorite item at Dough Zone. Wrapped in a crispy chive pancake that resembles an Indian paratha, the beef is perfectly tender and juicy. Each bite leaves a trail of saucy goodness dribbling down your chin. Unfortunately I had to share half the roll with my friend. But friendship is all about sacrifices, right?

These beef potstickers were delicious, albeit a little oily. I was impressed by the fact they had such clean, crisp bottoms, as I haven't been able to master that when I try to make these at home.

Chicken dumplings, pretty standard.

Wontons in spicy sauce. This was an item worth trying, just for the sauce. Wish there was greater quantity, though. As always. But I always want more food. Sigh.
