We graduated from Concordia a long, long time ago but we kept going back to our old stomping ground anytime we had a hankering for dumplings.

No longer: Perennial Concordia ghetto favourite Qing Hua has opened a second outpost, this time setting up shop in Chinatown. True to the original, the dumplings are highly addictive and the setting is frills-free.

Trust us: The steamed chicken curry ($9.99) and chicken coriander ($11.99) dumplings are well worth trekking out for in the cold! —Christine Laroche
