Dim Sum Wednesday – July 1, 2015


This may be the last dim sum Wednesday of this term (or possibly next week since next week is the last week of this term). Anyway, today’s dim sum was at a new place that I can’t remember because I forgot to take a photo of the sign. Oh well, I can ask my Chinese friend, Ming.

Here were today’s eats…

Shanghainese style steamed dumplings with crab roe

Bread (I couldn't tell if it was made with rice flour or eggs).

In addition to these lovely items, I noticed some other interesting menu options.

My preference is to not ingest blood no matter how it's cooked.

I love mashed potatoes but it never occurred to me to include berry sauces or jams.

I wonder,  would Peter Piper would approve of these pickled peppers with chicken feet?
