Oh, don't skip Moroccan. Bastilla is paradise. And all the sauces
(honey, garlic, lemon, etc) are so good that when the last bit of food
is gone, I go after every last bit of sauce with pieces of bread. In
recent years, we go to Babouch restaurant in Long Beach even tho' Long
Beach is a longer drive than Dar Maghreb or Moun of Tunis in
Hollywood, and I keep meaning to find out what is the red wine we
drink there, because I like it so much that I drink twice as much as
normal.

At any decent dim sum restaurant.

Hong Kong but no dim sum????

wanted for dinner if I didn't want the kittens, pointing to the
owner's son, who was disporting himself in a highchair alongside the
cash register. Instant hysteria from the cashier, who was also the
owner's wife. I think I requested Baby in Hot Orange Sauce. By that
time the kid was bawling his head off. Eventually we compromised on
chicken in something, and the cashier escaped, clutching her son. I
hope the brute learned a well deserved lesson, but I'm inclined to
doubt it.) >>

Wow!
