Dim Sum
Dim sum /ˈdɪmˈsʌm/ refers to a style of Cantonese food prepared as small bite-sized or individual portions of food traditionally served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. Dim sum is also well known for the unique way it is served in some restaurants, whereby fully cooked and ready-to-serve dim sum dishes are carted around the restaurant for customers to choose their orders while seated at their tables.
Took Sennet to his first dim sum meal on Saturday morning. We had to go to Costco for groceries, and stopped at House of Hong in the Chinatown/International District afterwards. He liked it fairly well, and tried everything we ordered.
We got:
Chinese Broccoli w/Oyster Sauce
Lo Mein
Shrimp Dumplings (Steamed)
Vegetable Spring Rolls (fried)
Shrimp Toast
Steamed White Rice
He ate all his rice (of course), most of the lo mein noodles, two shrimp dumplings, and a bit of everything else. He didn’t care for the Chinese broccoli, but I thought it was great.
The food was pretty good, but I’ll try to find better dim sum at another restaurant next time.
