Not, the first thing that came into mind but I’ve never seen flesh coloured money bags before. Sorry to have ruined your yum cha.

So scrotums were the first thing that came to mind, eh?

Now, the next time I have them it’ll be all I think about. Lovely!

I was in Singapore just last week and ate there at least 3 times, could not resist the soupy goodness! They were running a special on chili crab Xiaolongbao – not as good as the regular dumplings but still a treat.

Ed, any idea if they have plans to open in Melbourne?

I am salivating at those 1,000 year old eggs! The floss and the tofu, too, but mainly the eggs. MmMmmmmMMM! My office is in World Square (well, beside it), i so could eat at DTF every day. Am, uh, gob-smacked that someone would be so daring as to shove the whole soupy-filled sack into his mouth! Daredevil!

That’s what Shelley was doing. If I remember – and boy what have I eaten since – it was pork and prawn.

Ha. I have something against pork floss. It’s more like pork fairy-floss. As with the technique to eating xiao long bao, pick it up with chopsticks, sit in a spoon, nibble a hole, suck up the broth and then proceed to eat like a regular dumperin’.

What else was in the scrotum?
