The xiaolongbao (pork soup dumplings) at Din Tai Fung are a feast for the senses. The eye is charmed by their perfect proportion, deceptively simple yet intricate folds, and the handsome bamboo steamer on which they are served. The mind delights in their cherry blossom-like evanescence: they are too hot to eat when they arrive, reach gustatory perfection after a minute or so, and then become stolid and unappetizing if left to linger too long. These elegant morsels are likewise very fragile: jab them with your chopsticks and their juices flow out leaving them dry and sadly deflated. The dumplings also offer a wide range of textures, from the soft skin and crispy sliver of ginger to the liquid burst of soup and comforting filling of ground pork. Last but not least, these xiaolongbao pleasure most of the taste receptors on the tongue including the sweet, sour (from the dash of vinegar) and salt -- fortunately, there's no bitter. In short, they are a perfect bite.

Ricotto cheese stuffed ravioli with fresh tomato sauce at Gisa Italian restaurant.

It's a nice restaurant. Classy but not snobby.

I also had steak with black pepper sauce, quite nice.

True.

The portion was a little small, but to be fair, the pasta dish I ordered was classified as a "starter".

It's the kind of place where you have a couple of courses at least. Taste over quanity, which is ok with me sometimes.

The steak was big, I had trouble finishing it after the pasta.

Sounds like adam nearly ejaculated in his pants during dinner, Christ.

Settle down big guy, they're just dumplings.
