-Kau Chi Steamed Dumplings

There's plenty more on the menu..but I haven't yet...more

I can't help but look upon nicely furnished South East Asian restaurants without thinking that they're going to lack a certain authenticity. Of course, I also look at slightly more run-down places with a raised eyebrow too (well, I WOULD if I had independent eyebrows...), so really, I'm...more
