I wish that I could eat dim sum every day. One of these days, when that coveted critic’s position opens at the Guangdong Times Picayune, I am going to be the first guy on a plane to China–laptop bag in one hand, fork in the other. And the minute I touch down, I will start eating shrimp balls and chicken feet and char siu bao and I won’t stop until the authorities find me, some months later, fat and dead in a low-rent hotel room with a half a shu mai in one hand and a smile on my face that’ll take a team of plastic surgeons to remove.In the meantime, I practice by getting as much dim sum into myself as possible, as often as possible, right here in Seattle. And that’s what I was doing this weekend. So I ask you, can you guess where I’m eating?First clue

First two clues after the jump, guesses in the comments section below.For today’s little quiz (no prizes but the pride of having won), I have a series of clues that will help you narrow it down. Some of you out there with very sharp eyes (or wonderfully educated palates) might be able to get this one on nothing but the picture, but for the rest of you, here’s a hint.Clue #1: See that tin and bamboo steamer? That means these little shu mai arrived at my table in the proper fashion–brought on a cart and handed over by one of the formidable ladies working the floor.Clue #2: Dim sum every day? You can get it here. All day, every day
