So I have been reading up a local food blogger site (chowtimes), and it had left me with a craving to try dim sum. It is a bit shocking that having lived here for about 23 years, I have never gone for dim sum. Between having a very high concentration of dim sum restaurants, and an asian fiance, you would think I would have been, but no, never! I posted on facebook last night that I wanted to go for dim sum, and in about an hour, my friend Gloria phoned me to plan an outing for today. Yay! Thanks Gloria, you take me to all the best new restaurants. I really want to go again.
Here are some of the dishes we had at the Neptune Seafood Restaurant.
Clams in a lemongrass spicey sauce, very delicious.
Shrimp dumplings, the shrimp were huge and "springy".
These eggy-custard-sugary buns, no idea what they really were. Tasty too!
Pan-fried turnip cubes in XO sauce, like almost agedashi tofu in texture.
We also had an eggplant stuffed with shrimp dish that came later after picture taking. Everything was very tasty. The only slightly bad part of the experience was that we seemed to be the last to be seated, even though others came in after us. When we gave the hostess a puzzling look, she sat us quickly. Oh well, service was very attentive afterwards.
And what I wore for Dim Sum.
Gap mustard pleated bow skirt (sash not tied as a bow though, bow overkill)
Anthropologie Volante tee (picked up in LA on sale?)
Gap maroon tights
Hayden Harnett Madeleine boots in Brandy
