« Turning up the heat part 2 - A revisit to Si Chuan Garden Spicy City (Guo Qiao Yuan) | Main | Luang Prabang: Across the Khan, across the Mekong, and Antique House Restaurant »
The Missus's parents are scheduled to visit in a few months. And just to tempt me, they emailed these photos to us.
Now, you all know I love my Mother In Law's Jiaozi. But being the great Mother In Law that She is...once She found out that we enjoy Shengjian Bao.... This was their first attempt at making it. Like I always tell the Missus, dough is Her "destiny." So we're now counting the days...... I guess the entire family takes food photos now!

mmmmmm...
I'd kill for a recipe!
IS the dough more like a risen dough than that of jiaozi?
My mom loves these buns too. Maybe I'll surprise her one day...

Wow, the Missus' parents are wonderful! Can you please tell them that I am their long lost child, and I would like some shengjian bao too? And I love that they have learned the food blogging ways of photographing food!

Hi Kirk,
I work with your in-laws and they just brought those buns to work today. Let's just say they taste as good as they look! Your mother-in-law is an incredible cook! By the way, ever since I found out about your food blog, I've been addicted to checking it out. I really enjoy reading it! Thanks to you and your friends for writing it.
