speaking of immortalizing foods for future reference. this is one food we should *never* buy again. this is not the chili oil served at din tai fung. this has a funny story, acutally… we bought it at 99 ranch in arcadia and it was on a special BOGO. i only wanted one, despite the sale. the cashier kept trying to get me to take the second free one. she almost paged a floor assistant to find me another one. she kept repeating: “second one free.” she stared at me blankly when i told her i didn’t know what it tasted like and didn’t want two of them in my home. she had never heard of such a thing. poor girl!
