william and went out in search of din tai fung-esque dumplings today… and found them in a tiny restaurant in one of the many many mini malls on valley. much of the menu was in chinese, and there were no pictures to help… so we took the advice of our waitress and hoped for the best. it was a good idea. we tried the juicy pork and juicy pork & crab dumpings while the cook stared at us from the kitchen– eyes glazed and mouth agape. creepy, but the food was so good! after the bill came, they brought banana leaf wrapped sticky rice and red bean desserts for us. so happy!

after a dissapointing trip to the hawaii supermarket, we walked over to fossilman’s for another taste of ice cream. it just keeps getting better. lemon custard and lychee… probably the best. ever. we may have to go again after lunch tomorrow to celebrate (or mourn) the end of our rotation.
