Dim Sum

One of the primary stops during the Chicago trip was a visit to Chinatown.
We had visited there about seven years ago and had a great time. Our friend J who has just moved to Chicago had not ventured there yet. Eating and shopping is always a good combination for us!
We ate a restaurant that primarily served dim sum.
We had steamed dumplings, filled buns, and noodles.
What is fun is that the ortions are bite-sized, and served in small quantities, usually three or four to a plate. I like to have to variety; however, the dishes had a lot of pork and we passed on a few of the offerings. Servers pushed carts, loaded with a variety of foods, through the dining room.. It is a fun environment with tasty treats and yummy tea. For dessert they offered a a sponge cake of sorts. Oddly, it tasted just like hawaiian sun tanning lotion. hmmmmm....
