Speedy Dumplings

6/27/17 brush pen, gel pen

Yesterday was a busy day of errands and appointments. Rushing through Southcenter mall, I stopped short when I spotted the wide windows into the kitchen of Din Tai Fung, where workers were busily making dumplings. The chain of international dumpling restaurants opened this branch just a couple of months ago. I’ve eaten at the University Village location, but the dumpling makers are not visible from the outside there. 

I glanced at the time: I had exactly seven minutes or I’d be late to my next appointment. I finished with a few seconds to spare.
