Not a knock on Ding How, but it's not on par with the best I've had, which is fine by me and hasn't deterred me from coming back so far but definitely worth noting for people who are spoiled by having had the best. One day my family and I will make it out to San Francisco, and without a doubt we'll be hitting up Chinatown more than once while we're there. Thanks for the restaurant recommendation. Got a favorite Szechuan restaurant out there? That's one thing I really wish we had down here. My wife says she'll take a crack at making her own char siu bao one of these days. She's an excellent cook, so I'm sure that once we get that ball rolling we'll have excellent bao in the house in no time. Just needs to try it the first time is all (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, Denise!). Mexican food--I'm sure it's much better in California too. I used to just like Mexican ok but wasn't crazy about it (didn't eat it growing up), but it's slowly growing on me especially with the proliferation of more authentic Mexican in Jackson. My wife and I actually prefer Omonia over La Morena, but the more I talk to people who have tried both the more it seems it just boils down to personal preference there. Both places serve up a good taco. I'm partial to the empanadas at Omonia though. Melia,

Mexican food–I’m sure it’s much better in California too. I used to just like Mexican ok but wasn’t crazy about it (didn’t eat it growing up), but it’s slowly growing on me especially with the proliferation of more authentic Mexican in Jackson. My wife and I actually prefer Omonia over La Morena, but the more I talk to people who have tried both the more it seems it just boils down to personal preference there.

After growing up on legit dim sum in San Francisco (try Hang Ah Tearoom in Chinatown if you're ever out west), I really, really miss it. The green vegetable in question is bok choy, Chinese cabbage. And I hope that Ding How has Char Siu Bao eventually; I agree that it's much better than any of the other bao. But some bao is better than no bao. :) I also miss Mexican food a whole lot, and I see that you've discovered La Morena, which is the best taqueria I've found here so far. Let me know if you find good Thai. I was disappointed with Thai House the one time I ate there; Pan Asia is awesome but a bit pricey. I'll be reading!
