Dim Sum!
My first Dim Sum experience. While you can get it in the UK, its not really very common, even in London, so we went to one that Miriam's Dad recomended. Its just up the hill from the ocean, Pacific that is. My first glimpse of the Pacific...
I have a rule - if a [insert culture] food place is frequented by [culture] people.. then its probably good, especially if the menu's are all written in their language. This place was no exception, FULL of chinese people.
I let everyone else order for me, not knowing what was what, and there was some really yum stuff. Also I got to try some interesting dishes - pigs feet (nice, but dull... tastes very orangey, can do without), ducks tongues (ok, wierd texture), and Chicken Feet (nice, but full of bones, pretty yum tho). Jellyfish was also nice.
However the shrimp dumplings, mushrooms, shumai (pork and shrimp), pork spare-ribs, and some cool spiced chicken were all REALLY yum! I recomend this place (KW II near 36th if that means much to anyone). It was also reeeeally cheap. We managed to fill four people and stil have lots of leftovers for 60 dollars! Thats like less than 10 pounds a head!
Anyhow, enjoy the food.
