LA

grace and i were in LA this weekend. fri night was dinner with tom at campanile. it was really good seeing him.

on saturday the three of us headed over to din tai fung for an epic morning of dumpling eating.


din tai fung is a famous dumping house in taipei. for some reason the only other one is in a random strip mall in arcadia. the three of us ate over 60 dumplines. warning: many pictures of dumplings ahead


first bite. ridiculously tasty.


pork dumpling (look at the juice level!)


dumplings in soup


shrimp and pork


red bean dessert dumplings!


in case you didn't know the best way to eat dumplings...(if you haven't tried step #4 i highly suggest it!)






afterwards we headed over to huntington to walk-off the food. japanese garden:
