| soup sacks |
Sunday was the day of celebrations in NY. beloved and i went to Joe's Shanghai for lunch, which is famous for its soup dumplings. i had a hard time envisioning what people were saying about this delicacy .... chinese dumplings with soup INSIDE. For some reason, i kept picturing the steamed buns ... pork baus, and such. with soup inside. i was wrong. it was more like potstickers, with soup inside. when beloved picked one up to put on my dish, i was momentarily grossed out .... soup was dangling in a pouch created by the dumpling, and it looked like, well, quite frankly, balls. testes. but i allowed it to be placed upon my spoon, and i nibbled a hole in it, and slurped out the broth .... wow!!
they were fantastic. i loved them.
While we were in the restaurant, the parade passed by outside, and 2 dragons came in. This is supposed to be good luck for the business throughout the year. It was very exciting, and loud, with drums and cymbals in the restaurant. we got pictures .....
