Yum Cha!

At Jade Dynasty at the mall. With two? of our mentors. Actually one mentor and one very talented writer/adventurer (not a mentor yet). (Remember our little version of the “Joy Luck Club?)

Deep-Fried/Braised Tofu Nuggets

Deep-Fried Seafood/Seaweed Rolls

Taro Croquettes

Potstickers (Jumbo-sized)

Shrimp Dumplings

Roast Duck

Not to be confused with Beijing Duck, an entirely different dish.

Pan-Fried Pork and Vegetable Buns

Tripe

Beef Stew and Tendon Look Fun

The last two dishes were probably not the writer’s favorite (he liked everything else). He’s just not into offal (our mentor was thrilled).

I wanted the osmanthus and goji berry gelatin but they were out. The restaurant comped us mango pudding and red bean and coconut gelatin.

Red Bean and Coconut Gelatin

As always, good food, good friends, and good times.

Thanks A and M for joining us.

Enjoy. Eat well.
