We got one tray each of pork and crab dumplings. I'll forever be a pork dumpling devotee. J&J's were nicely constructed. The skins were thin, but not a single one broke during handling.
Plenty of broth packed in each dumpling, which is a must. 
Slow cooked pork hock with dark soy sauced aspic (gelee) attached.
The most interestind drunken chicken either of us has ever tasted. It was like a cross between drunken chicken and saltwater duck. Not bad, just unexpected.
I like it more and more...but I'm sure more changes are coming.

pei, i'm planning on moving to CA just because of your food photos! seriously, i used to think cali was too far, i'm on the east coast. but the more i learn about the food, the more i want to get a post-doc out there. thanks for the site!
i just went to mei long village today with a bunch of my chinese american friends and i think they were all disappointed (they all grew up in the sgv area). they said it was overpriced and not as good as some of the other places.
definitely check out flower genie on las tunas. really great work for amazing, amazing prices!
The invitations are beautiful.
"Accommodations" should have two m's :)
All the best.
Wow, talk about huge mistakes. Thanks for that catch. No more invitation making during watching movies...
The invites are cute. I noticed that you understandably redacted the personal info in your previous posts re: which invitation pattern to select, but when you click on the photo in this post, the photo enlarges enough so you can see all of your personal contact information. You might want to redact that, too.
I think the chrysanthemum print is really quite pretty, but since you mentioned your mom didn't want plain white invitations, aren't chrysanthemums (assuming that's what the print is)funeral flowers in Chinese culture? They are in Japanese culture. See the Cultural Significance and Symbolism section. But, that being said, I like the print and think you should use it. Just wanted to let you know if you weren't aware.
I thought about that, and I'm going to run it by her first. The stamp said "peony," which of course is the Chinese version of the rose and highly prized for special occasions. It wasn't until after I used it a few times that I realized it also looks like a chrysanthemum.
I can't win. I just can't win.
Ah. XLB my new obsession.
They are adorable. Nice job!
