I set my alarm and made sure to get up early(er) today. It was dim sum day! We went exploring around Chinatown and ate at Gold Mountain just at the end of their lunch/dim sum hour. Was okay, but then again, they didn't have my favorite- ham sui gok- deep fried mochi filled with minced pork and mushrooms!! But a google search did yield the names of some of my favorite dishes! Now only if could remember them for next time...
we had:
-wu gok (deep fried taro balls filled with minced pork)
-chicken feet
-shrimp noodles
-har gow
-shu mai
-turnip cake
-spareribs (not in black bean sauce?)
-char siu bao
-? bao (filled with a sweet egg-ish yellow paste)
-egg tarts
-copious amounts of tea
We took a short walk around to the bakeries, where I bought 8 bao- 4 steamed and 4 baked char siu bao and even found a bag of smackles (now "snackers" on the bag??) for my mom. A fun eating day.
Later it was off to J-town for some sourcing, and I couldn't ignore the geisha float on such a nice day! (by far, the BEST thing at Cafe Hana) I visited the new theater complex in J-town- reminded me of something in Omotesando in Tokyo.
Later sped off home for a nap and then dinner- some beef and lettuce with the bao- all gone in one day! I knew I should have bought 12...
Refreshed from dinner, I was off to run 3 miles- happily uneventful. (36 mins... wasn't feeling it...) A Cliff Mojo bar, then later a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with peanut butter and a banana finished off the meal...and my day. night!
