Dim Sum Fun

A few of us woke up bright and early one weekend morning and made a hike to an area called "Old Klang Road" to have us some delicious Dim Sum breakfast. Now I love Dim Sum; nothing is as good as filling one's empty and growling stomach with some of those bite-sized, tasty morsels. I'll try not to say too much but rather, let pictures do the talking.

One of my favorite Dim Sum dish is what I personally call "Fried Har Gow" (note: depicted in the top right picture). It's really what I call it - a Har Gow, only fried and there is a sweet, lemon-based mayonaise that you dip it with. I have not been able to find this dish in Boston. Funnily, this Dim Sum dish was abundant in Montreal chinatown. I don't need to explain what the center picture is since you probably know what it is if you are a frequent Dim-Sum eater. The top left dish is a butterflied shrimp on top of some pork. Yummy. Again, I have no idea what it is called.

Just some other dishes that we ordered. The dish depicted in the top right are clams stuffed with meatballs. I have never seen a dim sum dish like that; it was pretty darn good.

And now, onto my new found love...something which we call "Mango Whiskers". Just imagine a springroll stuffed with juicy (and sweet) mango paste and then wrapped with crispy noodles and deep fried. It's perfection.

All right...after all that good food, I am heading off to do some reading and then out for a run. Till next time.....
