What did you eat last night for dinner?

[Piobaire]

Not dinner, but brunch. Dim sum, that is.

 

[kwilkinson]

I love dim sum.

 

[ChicagoRon]

I had xiao long bao for lunch today

 

[kwilkinson]

Ugh now I'm craving some char siu baau or lo mai gai.

 

[ChicagoRon]

I actually have some frozen no ma gai in my freezer...

Hey kwilk, would you know what to do with dried scallops?

It's usually used as a base flavor for stews and sauces, AFAIK. I would think it'd be hella nasty to do anything like reconstituting it. Although I bet with some kombu and bonito flakes you could make a killer scallop dashi.

 

[itsstillmatt]

I had some really good stuff.

 

[jpeirpont]

I had a bootleg version of dirty rice.

 

[Tokyo Slim]

I didn't take these pics, but this is what I ate. Kurobuta Imperial rolls

Bo La Lot beef

Kurobuta and shrimp clay pot with coconut juice.

Another very nice dinner. Chorizo, squab, branzino, asparagus, eggs, foie gras, lentils, clams... not necessarily in that order.

Is there another name for branzino? NM, Just googled. Branzino - European seabass

Chorizo and pork risotto. Delicious.

no, my distributor there is a serious foodie, *********** in his 50's. most importantly, he has realized that I don't really enjoy stuff like shark fin and birds next. anyway, he always takes me to these places that are fantastic - not exatly holes in the wall, they still go for maybe 50 bucks US per person a meal, but they are the type of places that hong kong chinese business people go to for celebratory meals, not the houte cuisine places. haven't been dissapointed yet.
