yum. today kriheli checked out joe's shanghai in flushing, ny for kin's (grace's husband's) birthday. that particular restaurant, unbeknownst to yours truly, supposedly housed the best soup dumplings in new york. after giving them a try, i must agree hands down that they are great. i tried some in chinatown a few years back with vatchpol and those were cool too (can't remember the restaurant name) but joe's shanghai (with review) has something pretty special. all those in the nyc area who have never been to this joint, i highly recommend it. i'm full... and i'm tired. food makes me tired. off to rest.
