There's a small-ish chain, here in the USA, called A & J Restaurant (can't find anything resembling a reasonable website, alas). It is Northern Chinese-style dim sum and just wonderful. The turnip pastry, not to be confused with turnip cake, is to swoon over. The thousand-layer pastry is good, the scallion pastry even better.

Alas, our favorite place for pig's ear (and jonsinger has eaten the stuff all over China), has changed menu, chef, and proprietors.

But, if you are risking yourself to the USA and the cessation of civil rights and end up in the D.C. area, please do contact me or jonsinger. We have a plethora (== metric butt-load) of food experiences to offer you. Baltimore works, too.
