Dim
sum on a Sunday morning has never done me wrong, and Din Tai Fung was
no exception. I filled myself with bite-sized morsels of dumpling
goodness and walked out of there a better (or at least happier) person.
busy, busy...
juicy pork and crab dumplings, fresh noodles with minced pork sauce
shrimp and pork shao mai
very large shave ice with condensed milk, azuki beans, taro, boba, fruit jellies, mochi balls, and custard
We
walked off brunch in the charming neighborhood of Ballard and visited
their Sunday Farmers Market. In contrast to the sunny, warm, and very
"summer" weather still hanging out in San Diego, it was noticeably
autumn at the market. Balding trees wore leaves in all the same colors
as the squash, boots and scarves strolled along the streets, and a
patient dog shivered outside of a boutique store. It was the one time I
thought it would have been acceptable for a dog to wear a sweater.
One of the coolest things at the market: different varieties of garlic!
My present from the market: excellent handmade fleur de sel caramels, made just 2 days beforehand.
So soft and buttery... a little piece of Seattle in my San Diego pantry.
