Fancy interior but really odd chairs!
Okay, furniture isn't a big deal. How's the food? Did your Boss say it was better or equivalent or not as good as Din Tai Fung? The beauty of Din Tai Fung is consistency, cleanliness, and it's not terribly unhealthy - that's what I go for. It is very expensive for what it is. Especially in USA where the prices are much higher than the price in the home country.
New Doughs on the Block
Many might be familiar with a famous soup dumpling 🥟 chain Ding Tai Feng but there is a rising competition called Dough Zone, which is opening up many stores in West Coast states and Houston, TX. The husband and wife team started from a store in a food ma...
These look delicious 😋
The food, the watches, the pairings 👌🏻👍🏻 Sadly we always have to travel to have dumplings - nothing in this neck of the woods 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks K....and when you do the currency conversion of the price of these cuisine and eat in Asia,eg. China...the quality/price ratio just elevated 3~5x.
Someday I will travel around China/HK and eat my heart out, lol....Cheers!
The Patek pilot watch caught my attention recently.
Do you have a wrist shot of that one? What do you think of that piece?
Yes I do, in fact I’m wearing this today 🙌🏻
I love this pilot a lot, steel case, limited to 600pc, no date, under the radar, wears well. ...
Looking good with your couple daytona shot😁
From the pix, the food looks good and the taste should not disappoint too 👍🏻
Taste is up there, just portion might be a bit small.
It is worth visiting multiple times. Thanks S F 🥂
Beautiful collection!! A watch for every occasion.
I also love DTF! Always a long wait at the locations near me but it is worth the wait.

Good observation on the chairs, Patrick!
Yes, dragging those chairs make me cringe with the sound. I agree this place is a slight notch down DTF but for the price, for now, it is a good alternative....I also agree we can make our hard-earned dough ($$) stretch more in other countries. Cheers, my...
I find the best eating is done in Japan.
I miss Kyiv, Ukraine. Good food for reasonable prices there too!
What delicious looking watches. I will take any of them over Din Tai Fung any day.
What a collection and "fashion show" of wrist candy. Thanks for sharing the watches and mentioning the new place for soup dumplings, etc. While I haven't tried Dough Zone (because they are only in the States as far as I can tell) , I gave up on Din Tai Fu...
Lol....no fashion show :))
That is also my fear and concern when brands/companies grow too big. I heard good things about that Nan Xiang...hope to visit Shanghai again someday, last visit was like 20 years ago. I also really want to go to Japan again before the currency gets any st...
Yes, sounds like a good idea. And you are welcome.
Yen is weak now, and less worries about what is on your wrist. I hope you can make it and have a good time.
