12.31.09 – Mei took me to a Dim Sum Restaurant in the the Lujiazui financial district in Pudong. The specialty was an animal I had never tried before. It was tasty but not at all lean … see below. When I ordered water (pronounced shoo-ay in Mandarin), they looked a little confused and brought me some boiling tap water. Overall, it was pretty similar to a dim sum place one might find in deep Flushing, Queens, NY.

Pigeon
Is that the beak of the pigeon?
Yup. Mei, who loves pigeon, didn’t eat it but claimed that you could salvage some meat from the back of the head.
