Joyful Eating


A few saturdays ago I dragged Larry out for Dim Sum. I had read about this place on another blog, the greedy glutton . I had been bugging him to go ever since. It was worth the wait! Boy was it yummy! The food was fresh, delicious and served with a smile and the thoughtful offer of forks (we declined). It was hard to find, tucked away off a side street in chinatown, but after 4 passes, we finally found it.
This is the definition of Dim Sum, fond on Wikipedia :Dim sum is the name for a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea. It is usually served in the mornings until noon time at Chinese restaurants and at specialty dim sum eateries where typical dishes are available throughout the day. Dishes come in small portions and may include meatseafood, and vegetables, as well as desserts and fruit. The items are usually served in a small steamer basket or on a small plate. Yum cha(literally "tea drinking") is the term used to describe the dining session, especially in contemporary Cantonese. Chinese families in particular typically like to gather at Chinese restaurants for dim sum on occasions such as Mother’s Day or Chinese New Years.

It was a yummy light meal, and we will be back for sure.  if you live in Sing, make it a priority to check it out!

liked your post, but was hard to read with that color on top of the burgundy background, maybe if it was a different color?
