Not a big lamb fan but my friend looooves it so we're definitely going to try that!

Have you been to Asia lately? You know so much!

Haha, no I actually haven't xD

My mother's just really big on cooking and the restaurant business and Chinese (and recently Korean) cuisine in particular. She knows a lot of these obscure places even around here that make fairly authentic Chinese food, and if she can't find a place, she'll make it herself at home. That, and she watches a lot of Chinese TV at home that talk about food, including which provinces have restaurants that specialize in what and how the food is cooked. I end up hearing about and trying all sorts of dishes just hanging around at home.

Shanghai and Kaifeng (in the Henan province near Zhengzhou) have the best specialty Xiao Long Bao restaurants. So good.

Gah. I know. I love it. I have 3lbs in the refrigerator right now, lol. We've had dinner plans the past two nights and all I want to do is eat massive amounts of pork belly.
