@Danny – Mmmm, heaven…

@James – Yeah, I looked at the American menu, and it definitely doesn’t look the same. And I love greens at Chinese restaurants. One of my favorite dishes is water spinach with bean paste at Congee Village. Chinese people know how to do vegetables.

Some day I’d like to try Din Tai Fung in Hong Kong in Taiwan. I’ve been many a time to the DTF outpost in Arcadia, where XLB are actually not the best choice on the menu… every single time I eat there, sauteed green beans blow everything else out of the water!

My method is actually not messy. But everyone has their own technique. Thinking about it, my method will help improve one’s kissing. Just like sucking on snails.

@someguy – I like to do the pour method so I don’t spill any soup. People are usually impressed by how clean my plate is after I finish my soup dumplings. And Joe’s during lunch would be awesome. I wish the midtown location was as good as Chinatown.

I like to bite a hole on top of the dumpling and suck the soup out. Then add vinegar/ soy sauce combo on the dumpling itself. Makes me want to go to Joe’s during lunch.

@Nicholas – The Hong Kong branch is awesome. Not sure what’s up with the Taipei one.

I’m gonna blow your mind. In the original location in Taipei, they have 8 dumplings for 200 NT ($6 or so). So it’s all the fancy pants experience of 鼎泰豐, but at the price of Joe’s Shanghai. What’s even crazier is that it’s relatively mediocre compared to some other places .
