“Shanghainese - 1st time at Hu's House for a take out order. When placing my order on the phone I ordered salt & pepper shrimp. The person on the other end of the line gently informed me this dish left the shell on the shrimp. I've never had shell-on fried shrimp before but I was game to try it so this dish, along with salt & pepper squid, steamed pork juicy bun, pan fried pork bun, and brown rice completed the order. Overall, the meal was very good. The things which stood out to me were the textures and temperatures of the dishes. The pan fried pork buns were wonderful. The dough was soft on top, crispy on the bottom and encased a savory pork filling. The steamed pork juicy bun (pork soup dumplings)...this is where I learned something. When I got home, this was the first dish we ate. It was too late, the dumplings were tepid. This dish, like sushi, doesn't travel well. I think it should be ordered and eaten in the restaurant. That way it is served piping hot from the steamer. Place a dumpling into your soup spoon, add a little black vinegar to the top. Bite a hole in the dumpling, suck out the soup being careful not to scald yourself, devour the rest of the dumpling...heaven. I also should have listened to the person on the phone with their "warning" of the salt & pepper shrimp. The texture of the shell-on shrimp was almost too crunchy; if I didn't chew on the shells enough, I felt at risk of choking on them. Another thing learned. I'm not used to eating shell-on shrimp. The salt & pepper squid was flavorful and was more inviting (for me) to eat. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.“
