I drove all the way to Monterey Park. In the rain. Too early on a Sunday morning.
For dim sum.
And I finally realized, if you want something good, you might have to go to a lot of trouble.
Dumpling.
(And dating.)
But it'll be worth it.
Mushrooms Bamboo and Peanuts
Pan Fried Dumplings
Noodles with Black Bean and Pork Sauce
Xiao Long Bao
You can also buy a bag of frozen xiao long bao to steam at home.
Black Vinegar
I thought it was soy sauce. Even though my Mother-in-Law-in-Law serves black vinegar all the time.

Shrimp Wonton Soup

Bao in the Back Room
Sesame Cakes on the Menu
If only dating were as easy as just placing an order.

Or in other words, don't judge a dumpling by its cover, or a date by its lover.
Dim sum with friends, Sunday January 17, 2010.
