| - Ever since I went to Hong Kong, I have been a huge fan of Dim Sum :) Unfortunately, there are not a lot of places to get it in central Illinois, but this is one of them (if not the only one) and it is also surprisingly pretty darn good...
Now, I have been working on my Cantonese, but it's not great...so I will explain my favorite dishes using my lame english terms.
1) Pork Dumplings - good...not really unique or anything; pretty standard for dim sum
2) Sesame rolls - AWESOME!!! I am usually not a huge fan of these, but theirs are pretty decent and sweeter than I remember.
3) shrimp crepes - pretty good...I would have liked more shrimp though
4) chicken feet - cooked really well; these were pretty big and more filling then I think is typical
5) Spare Ribs - they came in a sauce that I can't really remember the name of, but it was good and not too salty
6) Turnip Cake - probably my favorite, but I always love it :)
7) Congee - this came with a pork sausage which was tasty. I was getting pretty full at this point, but the congee was good enough to keep me going...
The place also has really good jasmine and chrysanthemum tea, which is refreshing on a chilly day :)
The only thing I wish they did here was use the carts, but it is a small place and they serve other items then Dim Sum so I understand...
