| - Back again, for another positive review of one of my guilty pleasures: lowbrow dim sum, delivered to my home, lightning fast, in the evening, along with a few fun additional dishes thrown in.
Just think of Lee Town as a cheap and cheerful chinese delivery that's thankfully not chicken balls and beef with broccoli.
Favorites include har gow and siu mai, of course, which I like to eat with copious amounts of their fiery chili oil, Plus pan-fried pork dumplings with red vinegar, and cigar size shrimp rolls, that are simply seasoned minced shrimp inside a thin crispy deep fried spring roll wrapper. The crispy egg rolls have a touch of 5 spice, the sticky rice is meaty and drlicious, and the hand-battered popcorn chicken is cheap and overcooked in a salty/crunchy delicious way.
I have found the rice and noodle dishes to be not much to write home about, but I have lots of other options for those anyways, I pretty much stick to the dim sum items which are pretty decent and do not require a long line up in a crowded restaurant to wait for a table on a Sunday morning.
This is absolutely not Dragon Boat quality dim sum, but Dragon Boat won't quickly deliver steaming hot dumplings to my house on a Tuesday evening, especially not for these super cheap prices, either :)
Keep your expectations modest, skip the wonton-noodle soup and bland fried rice & noodle dishes, and go for no frills dimsum, I'm sure you will quite enjoy it.
