Last Sunday the lovely Choo organized an outing to a dim sum restaurant in the North Lamar China Center. I’ve mentioned dim sum before<\/a>, and if ever there were a proper way to eat it, it’s with a group of friends at a remote restaurant early on a Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The dim sum banquet hall was on the opulent side. It was suggested that at any moment there could be a John Woo style gunfight or possibly a Bar Mitzvah.
\n<\/p>\n

A small army of waiters rolled stainless steel carts from table to table, offering the diners their tasty wares. Each cart had three or four varieties of dish, held on a tiny plate or a steam basket. It was sort of like a Luby’s in reverse. The dishes went on the lazy susan (Susan?) at the center of the table, and the whole team sampled at their leisure.
\n<\/p>\n

There were plenty of tasty buns and steamed dumplings, but I’m going to focus on the outer envelope of the food experience here.<\/p>\n

For instance, one of the dishes was a pile of spicy jellyfish strips.
\n
\nWhich tasted a little like fish tripe, if there were such a thing as an aquatic ruminant.<\/p>\n

A standout in the taste department was the tendon.
\n
\nIt had a slightly gummy mouth feel and an almost bacony greasiness.<\/p>\n

And finally I got a picture of chicken feet.
\n
\nI’m particularly proud that I was able to convince people to eat this delicacy and to give them advice on the proper eating technique: "There is no good way to do it. Just suck between the toes."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
