So are those strange stubby things that look like tentacles actually tentacles and not something created by cutting the squid/cuttlefish?anonymouseaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983816483601480054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-10003423004268863302008-06-16T16:42:00.000-05:002008-06-16T16:42:00.000-05:00The squid preparation you noticed is more commonly...The squid preparation you noticed is more commonly done with cuttlefish, related to squid in every way including taste. I wondered if they weren't passing off cuttlefish as squid, if it happened to be cheaper that day.tinyhandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241060237876465421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-44019785959653457152008-06-12T20:13:00.000-05:002008-06-12T20:13:00.000-05:00Feng Ling is a childhood favorite of mine -despite...Feng Ling is a childhood favorite of mine -despite its seemingly Americanized facade- their food is actually quite good.<BR/><BR/>for folks in the know,<BR/>they make a very interesting version of peking duck (somewhat healthier and less oily). you have to call a few hrs ahead of time - they are quite generous w/ the portionsand for takeout, if you bring your own pot, they make a delicious soup from the bones w/noodles/tofu. <BR/><BR/>and manena's a most amazing argentinian bakery is next door! it may be a depressing strip mall but its got some great food in one little corner.<BR/><BR/>i think its also great that your daughter is so open to trying new, exciting foods- houston is such a great place for introducing things early. definitely take her to fufu cafe (and then have some delicious dessert) at Juice Box next door :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-91651950522776975792008-06-12T11:35:00.000-05:002008-06-12T11:35:00.000-05:00you are the dumpling master...you are the dumpling master...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-36898966068585813512008-06-12T10:47:00.000-05:002008-06-12T10:47:00.000-05:00sheeats -- Good point about Houston and strip cent...sheeats -- Good point about Houston and strip centers.

She's lucky to have a dad that's introducing her to new things and showing her all the great food that life has to offer. I wish every little kid had parents like that; I think the world would be full of some much happier people. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-13807262873285988172008-06-12T04:01:00.000-05:002008-06-12T04:01:00.000-05:00those steamed dumplings look a lot like soup dumpl...those steamed dumplings look a lot like soup dumplings. my heart skipped a beat for a minute there.neverfullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494113361898576808noreply@blogger.com
