DinTaiFung!

Keep smiling little guy. I'munna eat you.

Yum.

Kris, following the instructions.

Yum! DinTaiFung was rated as one of the top gourmet restaurants in the world according to the New York Times. We went for an early lunch and let me tell you, those little dumplings are to die for.

They come in a bamboo steamer basket, and there are ten little guys in there. At first you're like "whoa, that's too many!" but then you eat them and you're all "MORE! MORE! MORE!", eyes wild, ready to pounce on the next steamer basket that comes past your face. (Kind of like this cartoon: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/10/god-of-cake.html)

How to enjoy them, according to the instructions: First you pluck them from their resting place, and gently bathe them in a bath of vinegar and soy sauce. Then you poke their little casing to release the delicious brothy goodness inside. Then, if you like, you top them with the grated ginger provided. Then you gobble it. Repeat.

Luckily, there is a branch of this restaurant in Seattle. Hooray!
