Upscale Dim Sum

M, K and I decided to do a dim sum lunch with my girlfriend this past Saturday. We ended up waiting for an hour and a half to get into this restaurant/banquet hall that we've never been to before. It was lavishly decorated inside and the food was delicious, served on fancier dishware than in a normal Chinese restaurant. After we paid the bill, my girlfriend estimated it was about double the normal price and perhaps not good value. However, we did enjoy the upscale ambience even if the jumbo shrimp dumplings (har gow) were twice the price. To tell the truth, I sent these photos to L and she can't wait to try it when she gets home. It's Christmas after all. We can try going during the week, it might not be as busy then.

Huge Chandeliers


Beautiful Dishware , extra large teacups

You had me at standing in line for an hour and a half.

Not even for BBQ. :)

Mr Bill, we were told half an hour at first, then it became an hour, then...

Oh wow! That looks so scrumptious! I love dim sum and I really love sticky rice even though it's bad for me.
