The Best Dishes the Eater Boston Team Ate in 2019
"Chalawan has a vast and impressive menu of Southeast Asian dishes, and the steamed snapper dumplings stand out among the rest. Served with chile and black vinegar sauce, each dumpling can be eaten in one bite — with an extra spoonful of sauce, while you’re at it. —DH I’m enthusiastically co-signing this one; Chalawan is probably my favorite new restaurant of the year overall. I agree with Dana that the snapper dumplings are special, and I also want to give a shoutout to the seared scallops topped with caramelized duck, which I find myself ordering on every visit. —RLB" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle, Dana Hatic
