Wow, that is amazing! Almost too amazing to eat...I would find myself just staring at it in disbelief.

Something about this photo made me laugh...it was funny to see so many naked chickens together in one photo [smirk]
Sunday Brunch: Thomas Keller's Quiche
I *heart* quiche. And it's a shame that so many "real men" missed out on it in the 80's thanks to some sissy-girl marketing. Welcome back, boys. Welcome back.

Sunday Brunch: Thomas Keller's Quiche
Based on this post, my hubby and I showed up at Bouchon's at 11.30 am when it opened. The quiche was rich and well deserved of your praise. The bread/butter was also stellar - we must have had 4 bread baskets.

that's my soup dumpling!
this is at Nan Xian Man Tou Dian in Shanghai. there was only broth inside with tiny bits of crab meat and roe. it was ok, not crazy good. i think the novelty of it is better than the actual flavor of the soup. you are not supposed to eat the dough, but i tried it. it was much like soggy pie crust.
the xlb here are not as good as the taipei chain, din tai fung. but this is supposed to be a landmark restaurant to visit while visiting shanghai.

I totally agree with dimsumfan. The giant xiao long bao are not that tasty, although hilariously huge. The dough is pretty thick and is really there to serve as a vessel, much like a coconut shell is for coconut juice. Also, the broth isn't nearly as intense in flavor as the smaller ones.

I had one of these at the famous Nanxiang xiao long bao place in Shanghai. The wrapper isn't anything special to eat... it really is about the broth. Given that, I really like the regular xiao long bao better - and those are better in Taipei than in Shanghai, from my experience.

If it's anything like what Bourdain ate on his tv series, I don't think it's about eating the dumpling at all. It's about drinking the broth inside.

Mmmmmmmmmm! Great picture! I've eaten most of them, and have most sitting in my freezer right now. Just need to find myself a poussin and an Aylesbury duck...
