Chinese Restaurant: Da Niang Dumpling
Malatang shops may not be some of my favorite places to eat, but Da Niang Dumpling is. Da Niang is about as common in a big Chinese city as KFC, except that Da Niang is actually Chinese food. And, hey, interesting fact: Da Niang started in Changzhou. Something good came out of this place, after all!
Eating here can be a little intimidating, though, as everything is in Chinese (I never would’ve guessed), and there aren’t any pictures to point at. Don’t worry, I’ve got it down. The safest things on the menu are “song ren san xian” (pork dumplings with corn and peas… sounds gross but it’s fantastic) and “niu rou fen si tang” (clear noodles in beef broth). If there’s one thing I can do in Chinese, it’s order food!

I know what you mean man, apathetic students… and teachers try so hard, only to be unappreciated!
Next time, cross your eyes or something really funny like that. Physical humor works as well on Chinese students as it does American 5 year-olds. haha…

I miss that place. And I totally agree - dumplings with pork, peas, and corn are the BEST.
