Dim Sum Part Deux!

Remember my post from last year about eating dim sum every Saturday? Well....that's still the case to this day. But my Dad and I have changed venues since then. Good Luck Chinese Restaurant lost my business the day I found not one...but TWO! Two dead cockroaches in one of the dim sum steamers on our table. That was so disgusting. Haven't been back since.

Now we go to Tai Pan, which is also in the Chinese Cultural Plaza, in the very back corner on the first floor. No traditional dim sum carts here. The restaurant is too small for them. Just give your order to the waitress and she'll bring the food to you.

Here's a sampling of last Saturday's meal:

Gotta have the siu mai (pork hash)! So ono! ($2.35)

Black bean sauce spareribs. Very tasty and not full of just bone like other places ($2.35)

Hau gau or steamed shrimp dumplings ($2.35)

Steamed scallop dumplings ($2.35)

Pan fried chives...one of my faves! ($2.35)

Just recently discovered this dish after seeing another table order it. It's gau gee with choy sum. Yummy! ($5.45)

So now you can find me at Tai Pan every Saturday morning instead of Good Luck. There are often times a line of people waiting for an open table or you may be forced to share a large a table with another small party if you only have 2 or 3 in your group but the staff is friendly and the food is definitely worth it.
