I've kept it all these years and I love it although I haven't used it too much. You can sort of see it next to the little watercolor dragonfly on my website... it's that red circular thing off to the right side of the dragonfly. I'm sad to say that I can never exactly remember what the character for my last name looks like, especially when so stylized. So chances are good that I'm stamping my family name upside down half of the time! =P My cousin gave me one of those chops as a gift when I was little.

Dim sum! Real dim sum like you exhibited here, not the Colorado kind that's probably emptied from a box and served on a oriental looking plate with plum sauce (probably Welchel's jam) drizzled over the top! I must buy my plane ticket NOW! MMMMM. Dim sum!

I'll have to check Mei Sum out one day. My co-worker is from Taiwan and is somewhat of a connoisseur of dim sum. I didn't know that what I've been calling "chop suey ball" is ma tai soo. So many great eateries downtown. There's also this great Mexican place on Fort Street Mall with HUGE burritos. I bet Ryan knows the place. Great review. I’ll have to check Mei Sum out one day.

My coworkers and I went to Mei Sum today, too! It was totally their call, after we didn't particularly enjoy a trip to Legends last week. We needed the dim sum we come back to time and time again... We went totally nuts. Ultimately 18 items on our bill. Yes, you can get stuffed on dim sum! Glad you liked the garlic eggplant. That's the dish I went there to try, and I've been going back ever since. Can't wait to see the stamp. Sounds incredibly special. Holy cow. My coworkers and I went to Mei Sum today, too!
