| - I've finally gotten to have my first Dim Sum experience! What a place to have it, too. Beautiful restaurant, with little portholes on the way in where you can see lobsters and crabs. I really liked that!
Inside are rows of rounded booths which I also loved. For my first Dim Sum experience, I wanted to go in with an open mind and try anything that was put in front of me. I figured, if it's on a menu and people order it, there must be something to it. And I'm glad I did! I tried so many new things, and a few (I'm embarrassed to say) I don't remember what it was, but I'll try to recap. My ultimate favourite, the special bbq pork bun, was something like I've never had before. Sweet and savoury at the same time, it really was the world's best bun! :) Beef rice noodle roll, pork and shrimp crispy spring rolls, mushroom and vegetable dumplings, chickens feet (which I never thought I'd try, less enjoy..!), pork and shrimp shumai, and some cute little deep fried pear-shaped pork dumpling thingys that were just the best! I also had my first congee which I quite enjoyed. I think it was the lobster, clam and fish. To finish, I tried the deep fried durian cake (!!). Surprisingly, it wasn't half bad! Sure, I smelled cat pee for the next half hour coming from nowhere, but I'm still happy I tried it.
I was lucky enough to have wonderful friends to guide me through my first visit, and it was definitely a memorable one! I hope I get to Dim Sum again!
