Oh, wow! It's never happened to me, but, if it did, I'd just chalk it up to a one time unwitting mistake. Of course, if it becomes a regular occurrence, I'd probably never return.

It is certainly much better fresh. Do you mean
"haw fun"? Those reheated kind reminds me of eating chewy mashed potatoes. I don't recall if I've never microwaved dumplings, and not sure if I've ever bought them frozen.
