    We decided to take advantage of the express lanes being open and headed down to Chinatown today. Did a riff on our semi-regular Saturday morning NW side breakfast date with Audrey’s friend. Saturday dim sum, South Side.

    Ordering with two 12-year-old girls was a bit different than if we had been all adults, but we managed to come up with a good variety.

    Shrimp items were the stand-outs. Crispy shrimp spring rolls and shrimp crepes were excellent.

    The girls wanted the mango pancakes. Basically mango crepes stuffed with whipped cream and a little diced mango. They loved it, I liked it.

    Soup dumplings- small but flavorful.

    Steamed sticky rice with chicken - I don’t eat chicken but this was a hit with the table. They all enjoyed.

    Egg custard buns & bbq pork buns were both hits.

    Steamed beef balls were the lone miss. Too dense/rubbery.

    The room is showing a bit of wear & tear but service was friendly & efficient.

    Enjoyed a stroll through the mall afterwards followed by a visit to K-POP of Chinatown (both girls are fans,) and some Boba at Hello
    Jasmine.

    Went yesterday off hours in the subarctic temps to enjoy our standard excessive dim sum ordering (18 for 2) and left quite content w/enough for 3 more meals for de bode af us. Olive w/noodles and rib tips, turnip w/xo, shumai, shrimp w/corn, stuffed bean curd skin... all top notch.
