Dec.22nd is the midwinter,today's night is the longest in the northern hemisphere.It's our Chinese custom to eat Dumplings(Jiao Zi) today.
I'm a ungraduate in Beijing.I wait almost half an hour to have my dumplings(you know there are too many people in Beijing especially today they all intended to eat dumplings).
I know many Americans like to eat Chinese food, but have you ever eaten dumplings?

it is very common here in the Philippines to eat dumplings... there are several types of dumplings here..from meat, seafood up to fish dumplings..but my most favorite is pork siomai in Chowking-- it is a chinese fast food chain here in the philippines....

I've had smaller dumplings and larger ones (but not as often). I need to go out and get or make some of both. It's been awhile for the larger ones.
