| - Friday before the long weekend (Sept 1, 2012), I decide to go out for dim sum in Chinatown and happen to notice that the lion head restaurant is open again. Now called Gold Diamond, opportunity knocks as the food is usually good especially when a restaurant opens. We had 4 large 2 small cost me $25 L is $3.50 M is 2.99 and S is 2.20 but on M-F from 9am-11:30am (I just missed this) everything is $1.88! This is worth going back for. 10% on weekends and holidays until 11am I think it was.
There was me and my 5 year old so I didn't order a lot. 2 har gow (nice size and nice wrappers and good), 1 shrimp cheung fun (nice rolls not mushy, firm texture but still soft like it should be), 1 lo bak go (turnip cake) 3 pieces thick, I've had better as I think but they were heavier, more flour than turnip, 1 shrimp and chive dumpling. Other small was boiled dumplings (like soup ones) shrimp with some green, maybe chives again?) anyhow, better deal with 6 or 8 soup dumplings but I do love the wheat starch wrappers of har gow and they are harder to make.
you ordered from their menu and some carts were also going around. I'd be curious to see what they do on the weekends or if they plan on going to carts later. I don't know when they opened but the congratulation and good luck flowers were in the front. So go now while they don't cheap out..cause most places eventually do!
