So I was just getting out of this diet clinic (trying to lose the last of that damn baby weight) and I was put in that kind of scenario where you walk out of Weight Watches rs and RIGHT NEXT STORE there is a donut store. Well my personal donut store is actually ANY dim sum restaurant. So we headed into Crown Prince, thinking that it seemed popular enough for such a large place.
When you walk in you're a bit taken aback at the fact that this doesn't look like your typical Chinese dim sum place - it has this very cool/odd mix of french decor accompanied by all the servers dressed in quasi-french maid outfits. Think Japanese maid cafe's only not as short skirts (I know, WHY were we there then!?). They also serve their tea out of fancy teapots which I really enjoyed cause I'm a huge tea snob. I was actually really mad at another table across from us which seemed to have a nicer teapot. Jerks.
The dim sum we were served was pretty tasty: har gow, shu mai, steamed pork buns, beef balls, spicy squid, shrimp noodles, and tendon.
Ask me how this came to $60. Ask me.
Seriously I have no clue.
I mean, it was good, but $60 good? I'm going to go with no. No it wasn't. And granted: serves us right for not actually looking at the Saturday morning prices but I blame the surroundings - they distract you with the fancy frilly dresses and then serve you $12 shu mai! (probably not actual cost of the shu mai)
