Patti’s Lens-Artists Challenge today is set for fun as it’s about interesting objects. The possibilities are endless. I’m going to start with one from nature, my preferred photo local. This appears to be a little garden spot right inside a tree.
If you ever get the chance to eat at a Din Tai Fung location, grab that chance! After fleeing China with virtually no money, Mr. Yang, the founder,
“Mr. Yang decided to open his own shop to sell cooking oil and named it Din Tai Fung. Mr. Yang and his wife dedicated half of their shop to making and selling Xiao Long Bao—steamed pork soup dumplings.” From the website
But the food became so popular that he left the oil business to concentrate on the restaurant. The Hong Kong location has a Michelin star but you won’t notice any lack if your location is star-less. The food is outstanding and this cutie will welcome you.
Spotted as we waited in line for food. 🙂
If you’ve made it this far, give yourself and hand or if you can’t, I’ll give you this one. Happy weekend!
This, that and the other thing 
What fun, Janet. I’ll have to try that restaurant. It sounds wonderful. I love bao. Thanks for sharing this, but now I’m hungry. 😀😀
And that little garden is a great find, too.
Thanks. Just a random sighting while wandering in the park. You never know what you might find. 😁
I saw one like that with a troll in it! Arrgghhh. I should have posted that one!!
That would be unique but this was all done by nature.
Me too! The one in Torrance isn’t far from out daughter and s-i-l’s so one of these days I’ll get another chance to eat there.
Dinner time!
Have to get to California first.
Great collections.I had dumplings in a Din Tai Fung restaurant in Taipei – yummy !
I was blown away by how good everything was.
Some interesting objects!
Then I succeeded in the challenge. 🙂 Thanks, Sue.
You did!
Wow …. a wide-open topic by the LAPC. Hope to see more of them today. Just so you know, the last photo made me laugh.
It made me laugh too.
I’ve never eaten at one, but will be on the lookout for one. I loved the hand.
The hand is definitely fun as was the entire museum. There’s a location of the restaurant in Vegas but the California ones seem to all be in SoCal. 😦
I love this set of images, Janet. Din Tai Fung is one my favorite restaurent. So glad you enjoyed the food there. I wrote a story about the DTF a few years ago. https://shareandconnect.wordpress.com/?s=+Din+Tai+Fung+
oops, restaurents…
Just enjoyed your post although it made me hungry and long for another visit. I don’t seem to be able to comment there so I’ll just let you know that here. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed my images and enjoy your Sunday.
Thank you for spending time to read, Janet. 🙂
restaurants, cant get this right 😦 …
🙂 I’ve had that problem before and of course I always notice the mistake right after hitting “Post” or “Send.”
I apreciate your kind words. I need to slow down on commenting. 🙂
I always feel compelled to add another comment correcting my mistake because I just can’t stand seeing. 🙂
Fun post, Janet 👍🏼
Thanks, Teresa. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Enjoyed them all but chuckled out loud at your closing statement about the hand Janet! Always a smile when I come to visit your posts.
That makes me happy to read , Tina. Thanks.
looks like a great place to eat – good food and fun atmosphere 🙂
It was. I look forward to going again sometime.
Loved the hand, Janet! And that restaurant would have been nice…
The hand was a cool find and the food was SO good!
Mmmmmmm, I love bao! I’ve even made them a couple of times. So yum!
Made them? Good for you! Maybe one of these days I’ll give that a try.
It’s fun to try something outside your usual, now and then. I love them so, but I’m not sure they’re worth the fuss of making them fresh. lol
I make homemade ravioli sometimes.
Ooooo! I’ve never had the nerve to try that. Go, you!
