鼎泰丰



Whenever I hear these three words, it'll trigger off a series of happy memories. I'll always remember the first time I went there. It was the first time I tasted such wonderful Xiao long baos <小籠包>, but that's not the reason it was memorable. It wasn't because you told me that each individual bao is supposed to have 18 folds, and that we're allowed to reject the bao if it didn't have eighteen folds. Neither was it because we actually counted a few baos to certify that they qualified. It's was because of a simple converstion that occurred when the baos were served.

They came with a small dish of ginger silvers, when you were about to add vinegar to them, you asked "你有吃醋嗎?" Being lame as usual, I replied "有,吃多囉." Most amazingly, you laughed, knowing that you accepted my humor gave me the courage to love you.
