[on my 24 hours turnaround in the bay for dear cousin steven's crazy Chinese wedding banquet, here's my food adventures...]

Of the dumplings (jiao zi) that we tried (three color dumplings, pork and celery dumpling, [...]

Food nostalgia. This hot bowl of chiu chow fun guo/Chaozhou fun guo/noodles brings me back to childhood and our road trips to california. Dad would always insist on stopping a noodle place that served this kind of noodle for breakfast. I wasn’t about to [...]
