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 [...]

Nom Wah Tea Parlor

After I’d spoken highly of Nom Wah, my girlfriends decided they wanted dim sum for dinner one night.  So after Brindle Room, I walked down towards Chinatown for some Nom Wah.  I arrived about 5 minutes late, but a miscommunication led to HB and StB ordering a ton of food before anyone else got there (they thought I’d said that the food took a while to be made).  First up, ha cheung or shrimp in rice noodle rolls.  Again, very fresh, slippery noodles… yum!  I will say they weren’t as good as last time, but still very good.  Rice crueller [...]

Nom Wah Tea Parlor

One recent night after getting my haircut, I decided I was hungry and that I should wander Chinatown to find food.  TC decided to join me, and after we’d shared two banh mi from Paris Sandwich, and then each taken down a pork chop over rice and a chicken leg over rice respectively, it suddenly occurred to me: dim sum, made to order, at New York’s oldest dim sum parlor.  Uhh… yes please?!  So we headed over to Nom Wah to indulge in what would – are you counting? – be our third dinner of the night.  Instead of dim [...]
