I am a long time lurker; really long time
I do not step into any restaurant without reading everything about it on LTH. After doing this for so long, I decided it is about time, I get the courage to write some of my own.
Although I love all Asian cuisines, never had the chance to try dim sum until yesterday. We picked Phoenix and thankfully it was not as crowded as I expected it to be at 10am.
Started with congee which I decided is a perfect soup for breakfast, easy on stomach and pretty tasty with a little chili oil, although probably I wasn't supposed to.. Shrimp filled rice noodles were very good, I could have preferred to eat a big plate of those. I also liked the chicken pot stickers, the filling was just the right balance, surprisingly I did not need to drench them in soy sauce and such as I normally do. I tried the bun part of pork bbq buns( I don't eat pork; I know what am I doing here then
) , I think the steamed buns at Nhu' Lan are much moister and tastier. I assume pork part of it was not good either since that was the only item we didn't finish. Tried couple more chicken/shrimp dumpling and finished with the best sesame balls ever(crispy/fresh) and a sweet tofu soup(can't remember the name).
I can easily say my first dim sum experience was a pretty successful one.
