March 23rd 2024: Eating in the Rain in Worcester and Amherst

 Today, we started off with a quick bite at Yume Dumplings, a new Chinese hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Worcester,

getting the BBQ Pork Bao,

the Wontons in Spicy Szechuan Chili Oil,

the Seafood Wontons Noodle Soup,

and the Beef Soup Dumplings.

The beef dumplings were a pretty interesting concept and well done in terms of flavor, although everything else was just alright. Not a restaurant I would come back to.

From here, we headed to Amherst in the rain, getting dinner at Formosa Chinese Restaurant, a pretty nice restaurant in town.

we got the Jumbo Shrimp with Pea Pods,

the Mala Dry Hot Pot (beef, fish fillet, squid, enoki mushroom, bean Curd, Lotus roots and potato),

and the Lion Head in Sizzling Hot Pot (shrimp, tofu, black mushroom, bamboo shoots, ham and vermicelle).

the shrimp was just alright, and the meatball soup was a tad salty. The spicy dish was decent though. Overall, I think Oriental Flavor nearby, which we visit once in the past, is much better. After an unsatisfactory dinner, we decided to get some bubble tea from LimeRed Teahouse nearby, 

getting the Jasmine Milk Tea.

Not too bad an end to a rainy day of eating in Worcester and Amherst.
