I ate ate at traditional dumpling places, but the ones at Din Fai Fung were the best. With the spicy green beans you mentioned. It’s actually a chain with locations California. We hope to see one in central Florida. Because so many Central Floridians spent time in China 2015-2017. And it was the place they went.

We’ve kind of highjacked this thread and it’s late so signing off

BTW, I don’t agree in super protectionist trade policies. We should equal the No more, no less.

We will win in the end. As you know, the Chinese are not poor peasants laboring away for a bowl of rice at the end of the day.

Sounds like you are a foodie in the making. Try some odd stuff where you live. If you gained 10lbs in China with their you like eating. I ate my way thru and lost weight.

Have a great evening.
