Dumplings

Steamed dumplings are yummy! And obscenely easy to prepare if I buy them fresh-made or frozen.

I really don't understand food prices here... many fruits and vegetables are as expensive (or more so) than meat. And dumplings are something like $1.66/pound. While that doesn't compare to the Bananas at $0.40/pound, they are much more delectable. Each meal eating out at the student cafeteria is about $3.00 for a meal + drink, and that's fairly affordable; 3 meals a day means I'd spend $63/week on food, substantially better than Caltech's board program with a larger variety of foods from 7:30am - 9pm. My will to cook for myself is weak here, but I think it will return when I get back to Caltech in the summer...

When I was in HK, I practically lived on barbecue pork buns. I'm salivating just thinking about them.
