    Dean Sin World - Dim Sum, Dumplings, and a Dating Epiphany

    I drove all the way to Monterey Park. In the rain. Too early on a Sunday morning.

    For dim sum.

    And I finally realized, if you want something good, you might have to go to a lot of trouble.

    Dumpling.

    (And dating.)

    But it'll be worth it.

    Black Vinegar

    I thought it was soy sauce. Even though my Mother-in-Law-in-Law serves black vinegar all the time.

    Or in other words, don't judge a dumpling by its cover, or a date by its lover.
