I’ve had so many wonderful meals in my life, but I think the most special would have been the weekly lunches with my Dad when he was alive. Pop was a connoisseur of mall Chinese food and always looked forward to lunch. (Fluffly white rice was a must.) When he was having chemo treatments, we ate every day at Din Tai Fung, this amazing place in Arcadia with the best soup dumplings ever (it was a Taiwanese chain). So many fond memories of those meals & hanging out with him.

Best advice to give my readers? Enjoy your time on the planet. Life truly is short, spend time with your loved ones and spend your days doing what you love.
