My friend Diana and I needed a girls night to just eat and chat so obviously we picked Abundance Culinary in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. This is a modern Chinese restaurant with a seasonal menu that focuses on the freshest ingredients. We started with the variety sampler of their dumplings. This includes lamb, beef, pork, and veggie. This is always my favorite order, it's a must. Then we basically tried items off their new summer menu. Starting with the China hot chicken wings. Which are marinated for 24 hours and then battered with a house chili crisp. Incredibly crispy and the chicken was so, so juicy. Then we had the cucumber salad with tree ear mushroom. It's so impressive how they cut the cucumber like this. So refreshing. I feel like it's the perfect palate cleanser between bites. Then we had this Chinese garlic eggplant. So flavorful and soft. Then the smoked duck breast was perfect. I'm a sucker for duck in Chinese restaurants. And the Fen cold noodle was perfectly all dente, super refreshing for the summer with a ton of vegetables and the perfect amount of tartness from the lime. These ribs are coated in a house made sweet and sour reduction. Super juicy, flavorful. Perfect amount of sweetness. Last but not least, the lazy chicken has the perfect amount of garlic and ginger. With a kick. Definitely need to check out Abundance Culinary if you're in Cleveland.
