Re-Return to Peter Chang's in Fredericksburg

We are officially obsessed. The weekend after we had the chance to meet Peter Chang in person, the husband and I returned to Peter Chang's in Fredericksburg for dinner. I was pleased to see they were fairly busy. We even had to wait for a few minutes for a table. That gave us enough time to pick out some different dishes to try out.
 Fish with Sour Cabbage Soup $8
This is fantastic and I highly recommend it. The soup serves two, and it has a fantastic flavor. Both light and savory, it's very different from the soups you'll find on other Sichuan menus.
 Dan Dan Noodles $7
The menu says spicy, but that's not really accurate, or at least not spicy to me.
The peanuts are a nice textural addition and the noodles were once again cooked perfectly.
 Scallion Bubble Pancake $5
This is served with a curry dipping sauce, which plays off of the slightly sweet bubble pancake. I doubt that I would order it again, but it was nice to try. The pieces of pancake were actually very good when paired with the spiced beef from the dan dan noodles.
 Shan City Chicken $14
This looks like super fiery, but just avoid eating the red peppers and you'll be fine. Great flavor in the chicken.
 Shanghai Bok Choy with Mixed Mushrooms $14
Three types of mushrooms and perfectly cooked bok choy. A nice, light dish to offset the grease and spice of the other dishes we ordered.
Bamboo Fish $17
The cumin is pronounced and a welcomed element to this dish. The fish was perfectly fried, and the cilantro brightened up the flavors. Over the past few visits, we've learned that the fish dishes really shine at Peter Chang's.
