Soup dumplings at Joe's Shanghai
Hayden calls these 'weaponized food'. Soup dumplings are steamed dumplings filled with incredibly hot broth and
a meatball. You have to carefully lift them onto your spoon, not tearing the soft dough and letting the broth escape.
Bite a little bit of the dough and make a small hole. Spoon in a little sauce- soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and chili paste.
Wait until the broth cools a little and then pop it into your mouth.
So wonderful! Juicy and tender and meaty and doughy. A little salty and spicy, with garlic, ginger, chili, pork.
Anita Lo makes these as an appetizer at Annissa. This is an uptown version, with a slice of seared foie gras on top.
Now, I adore foie gras as much as the next guy. But soup dumplings are so wonderful on their own that adding
foie gras is a case of gilding the lily.

To Dream The Impossible Dream
I am going to find the best Asian food in the Pittsburgh area. I have suffered the drought of great Asian food, swimming in tasteless lo mein, gloopy and weird hot and sour soup, blobs of breaded chicken fried to hell. I have had to travel to get chunking chicken, banh mi, cumin lamb. I feel plenty sorry for myself.
But no. No! I refuse to live in a place where there is not a single great dish of Asian food. Which means there must be one here. I just have to find it.
So this is my quest. To right the unrightable wrong. To eat very delicious Singapore Fried Noodles. Or twice cooked pork or tom yum or dan dan noodles.
I have a list of restaurants that I will visit, ideally with other people so I can order lots of dishes without embarrassing myself. The restaurants can be scrappy hole in the walls or upscale dining. But I'm going to ignore buffets and any place at the food court.
First step- create my list.
