Sometimes, when I'm at the gallery alone and working hard (hardly working), I get bored. And when I get bored, I get hungry. And being that I work in Chinatown, I really shouldn't get bored. I took a snack break and walked over to Won Kok to grab some food to tie me over from all those emails and paperwork.
I had the usual.. but this little dumpling was new to me. I asked the lady, "What is this?" Her, "Vegetable, shrimp. Try. 50 cent."
Oh, you see that green can to the left? That was new to me too. Coconut soda. Soda? I know coconut juice but not soda. Think creme soda but nuttier. REALLY good.
And no dim sum meal is complete without a cha siu bau.
