Dumplings is a magic food, almost every culture has its own "dumplings," Chinese have dumplings, Italians have ravioli, Polish have lovely pierogis...Wherever the alines land, it is very likely that the first human food they would see are dumplings!
And because Fvan and I are Chinese, we decided to make a guideline of how to eat dumplings for the aliens!
The Chinese characters on the top of the image are three steps of how to eat dumplings with chopsticks. Pick it up, dip it into the vinegar, and here we go with the sugar garlic (which is incredibly delicious)! The beautiful ceramic bowl depicted is actually one of my favorite bowls we use at home. People always ask us how and where we are inspired, and the answer is literally everywhere in the daily life!
