That's why you need to come and visit! In the meantime, I hope you can keep on finding culinary surprises like the sushi you wrote about a couple of weeks ago. :D Aww!

I thought they tasted good, but it's very possible that they're not of the same caliber as proper xiaolongbao. (They weren't as big as I was expecting them to be as well.) Thanks for the tip on how to eat them too - next time! I haven’t been able to find a restaurant in San Francisco specializing in xiaolongbao, and these were my only experience with soupy dumplings.

My only experience with Chinese food outside of the US though was in Woking when I was in the UK a couple of years ago and it was noticeably different. (But then again, so is West Coast versus East Coast US-style Chinese food). Noting Chop Chop if I ever find myself in Scotland. :) Chinese food is one of my favorite cuisines!
