| - Dim Sum Eye Catcher ::::: Durian
I wish I wasn't such a chicken! We saw many interesting and unique dim sum options on the menu, but durian is what glared at me. I now know I'm all talk. I pride myself on being the Bear Grylls of dining, but when Durian graced my eyes, I looked the other way. Yeah, the legend of its stink is infamous, but I turned the other way, and let it walk by.
And I will always feel the regret.
Nonetheless, we stopped by Happy Hill to grab some afternoon dim sum. We went here basically because we happened to be behind schedule and were desperate for dim sum. We were late, and we were hungry.
Happy Hill----I love the name. I like being happy, and I like green grassy hills. Now where does dim sum fit? The restaurant is in a little strip mall north of downtown. We walked in to find ourselves the minority. Many Asians were chowing down and looking happy. This made me feel comfortable. One thing I was disappointed in was how the dim sum was served. I'm used to places which have plates prepared and paraded on a cart. Here you are given a menu and a pencil and you go down the list checking off everything which looked good.
The menu is extensive, and you will find anything for your dim sum fix. We went with quite a few plates, and we waited, and waited. Granted we were already famished, so seconds ticked just a little slower. Then we finally started getting some plates. One at a time. I'm sorry, but I can be a non-polite tiger at the table when I'm hungry. So, I pounced on the first plate. It was good, but I wanted more. I wish we would have received more plates at the same time. Happy Hill was being a tease.
We eventually got into a strive though, and the plates started popping out.
All in all, the dim sum was decent. I would definitely come here again if I was desperate in the late brunch hour. A solid 3.5 stars.
