Back here in Sihjiazhuang, China. 10 mandoo/jiaozi/gyoza/dumplings go for about 12 UScents. (What is the convention for abbreviating cents from America anyway?)

Restaruant prices here in Korea still freak me out. Guess paying 20.00 USD for Gongchi Gu-ui is too much...

Now, I don't know about in New York, but right here in Kwangju Metro, ten of those babies go for 2000 won - $1.70 in real money. That's a great deal. The only problem is the roundtrip airfare to Korea, which adds something to the cost of the meal. $7.99 for steamed kimchi mandoo?
