Hope this request isn't too outrageous, but next time you go could you please take some shots of the tops of their famous fried dumplings (i.e. that demonstrate how they're wrapped), and some closeups of the filling? Flying halfway around the world every time I crave these dumplings is hard... Thank you so, so much in advance, and thanks already for all your awesome posts!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-41103819662182781772013-03-23T03:14:20.894+08:002013-03-23T03:14:20.894+08:00"BTW- what the heck is the right spelling?

Is it mien, mein or mian??"<br /><br />http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/characters/275/<br /><br />Chinese mostly go by either "mian" (in Mandarin) or "min" (Cantonese). It was incorrectly spelled as mien or mein (...kampf?). <br /><br />(Excuse my bad pun. Anyway "mein" sounds German to begin with.) <br /><br />In Southeast Asian regions, mian is also spelled mee (Minanese). If you're in Taiwan, that's what the locals would go by too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-18018142080269287292010-09-30T09:34:52.792+08:002010-09-30T09:34:52.792+08:00yum!
