Lunch on a weekend at Chinatown is always super packed, especially at dim sum restaurants. Go with at least 6-8 people. Oddly the big tables free up faster than the small ones. We saw at least two large groups come in after us and got their tables before we did. Go figure.
Started off with some tea
Shrimp dumplings were tender
Chicken feet, gruesome looking but doesn’t taste too bad
THE dim sum staple, these pork shumais were topped with shrimp
These meatballs are perfect for spaghetti
Basically pork ribs chopped into small pieces
Rice porridge, we were sweating by the time we finished this
Turnip cakes, softer than firm tofu and packed with flavor
Unfortunately the shrimp in these rice noodles didn’t taste too fresh
Fried sesami balls with red bean paste, great way to end a meal. They look like beaks of baby birds opening up for food don’t they?
