| - For Mother's Day yesterday, I chose to go to Asian Legend.
The food I chose on the dim sum menu appeared delectable -
crab soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, beef rolled in scallion pancakes, spring rolls, pork fried dumplings and then there was the mapo tofu, a noodle dish with beef and baby bok choy in garlic sauce.
Clearly, for myself, my husband and our 2 year old daughter, my eyes were bigger than my stomach and we wound up taking home the entree dishes. Initially, I thought the food was pretty good - well presented, quickly delivered to our table piping hot. It wasn't until my husband found a piece of plastic in one of the crab soup dumplings, and then later, he found a small hard white mass that looked like someone's fallen out tooth, that my feelings towards this restaurant went sour. After brunch, I was desperately parched. Turns out, so was my husband. We also felt that we didn't need to eat for hours afterwards. I can't help but think that not only is the food sodium heavy, but perhaps some MSG as well? I will never go back here again - the leftovers were thrown out with today's trash. For dim sum, next time I'll go to the Queens Quay and eat at Pearl.
