Dim Sum

[Guest [ch...]]

I found an awesome Dim Sum place in Malden MA near my son's home. It's so good I think I am getting addicted. Will I need to taper off Dim Sum?

I went cold turkey after moving far away from my favorite places.  But now, after several years,  I have an intense craving. Gee thanks Chess!    Must ...go...google...

Re: Moved post: Yeah, I know, strictly speaking it didn't belong in "Chewing the Fat", but somehow that category seemed to fit with Dim Sum...

Sad to say, I had to cold turkey dim sum, too.  When my parents lived in the Bay Area, that was a lunch requirement at least once a visit.  They raised us on San Francisco's Chinatown dim sum... steamed har gao always the favorite, steamed chicken buns right behind them.  We were usually the only non-Chinese people in the restaurant.

 

Once in awhile I've found har gao (steamed shrimp in rice wrap) at Trader Joe's.  Not a bad substitute but not as good as the real thing in a specialty restaurant.

Challis, there is a place in Palo Alto -- when I lived up that way after SF- I keep going south, now in a weird town with a roller coaster by the beach, trying to be anonymous here  .  I sure wish I could remember the name of that place, though.  It was off 101 more by east Palo Alto towards the golf course, so good!  Gonna go check out the new thread Chess, think I found a place here...yum, I hope.  I hear PF Changs might be good too for that...

Haven't been to Palo Alto, though Mountain View was where I grew up and my parents still lived until their deaths.  We went to Sunnyvale for dim sum...just tried to Google the restaurant but nothing's coming up.  Guess you really can't go home.

Haha, same here. The only non- asian in the whole restaurant, among my asian ( large) extended family.

When we all go out for dim sum, I always feel like the white, pasty giant, fumbling with my chopsticks.

 

My favorite dim sum place in San Francisco closed! Bummer. I never found better taro dumplings.

 

Chessplayer: dim sum with chewing the fat? WHERE have you been eating??!!!

Maybe just cut back a bit. I would not recommend titration.
