Golden Unicorn

One early Sunday morning found DLS and I in Chinatown for dim sum. I actually eat dim sum a little more than that tag would have you believe; I just often don’t bother taking pictures because dim sum is usually a group affair and the way food is served is not conducive to taking photos before anyone touches the dish. I actually wasn’t going to take photos this time, either, but when DLS and I realized that no one else was joining us, he said, “You might as well,” and I said “heck why not.” (Golden Unicorn was chosen because [...]

Red Egg

To wrap up CT’s Birthday weekend full of delicious food, we went with her family for one of our favorite breakfasts/brunches, DIM SUM! Since it was an extra special meal, she decided we should go to a more upscale place. We ended up at Red Egg. Being a more “high-end” place, they take reservations, so we didn’t have to wait, which is always nice. On the other hand, this meant that prices were a lot higher compared to other dim sum restaurants with dishes ranging from $2.75 all the way up to $6.50. CT says: Umm… I didn’t think it [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Royal Seafood

The day after our feast at Maialino with our parents, we met up with our FBM friends for dim sum to celebrate TC’s birthday. As you know, we at Feisty Foodie LOVE dim sum. Since our friend Hungry, from Tasty Eating, was organizing, we went to her favorite place, Royal Seafood. CT and I have read some of Hungry’s great accounts of her experiences here and have had it on “The List” for a long time now. Hungry told us that we should meet at 10:30 the latest. I found this strange as most dim sum places don’t get busy [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Nom Wah Tea Parlor

It has been a while since we last had dim sum, so CT and I made plans to go one Saturday morning. Yvo has raved about the recently renovated Nom Wah a couple times, so we decided this would be where we would get our “fix.” CT actually had been to Nom Wah before with our friend, TX, but I was under the weather at the time and wasn’t able to go. This ended up being a repeat of Lung Fung as CT’s parents came with us with dim sum cravings of their own. We arrived at 11 and had [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Lung Fung (Panama)

Back towards the beginning of the year, CT and I learned that CT’s Sister’s Sister-in-Law would be getting married in Panama at the end of July. Why Panama? The Bride’s parents live down there now full-time. We learned that Panama has a huge ex-pat population mostly because it is so cheap and the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency down there. Since CT’s whole family is quite close with her brother-in-law’s family, we were all invited to the wedding. Since neither of us had been to Panama before, we decided to spend an extra couple days down there to explore [...]
