dim sum YUM!

chinese broccoli (top), scallop (L) & shrimp and leek (R) dumplings

shrimp & leek dumplings in steamer tin
dim sum. soft, fluffy, billowy pillows of yum. chi’s bistro has dim sum everyday. huh? ok. dim sum consists of: small servings of dumplings or buns delivered to your table by a cart & served in steamer tins or on small plates. i prefer the shrimp or seafood dumplings. here’s what to do if you want to eat dim sum at chi’s bistro: you will be asked "lunch menu or dim sum" before you are seated. answer: dim sum. then order from the menu you don't have: a bowl of soup (optional) and chinese broccoli ~a must! one of the two dim sum carts will come 'round. pass on the bread/buns. i am sure they are OK, but i am sending you there to eat steamed dumplings. when the cart with the steamed dumplings comes by, the server with lift off the lid & you will be shown tins that hold 2-4 dumplings each. choose the ones that sound good to you. you will be charged for each tin you take. the prices vary. again, seafood = yum, pork = dense & heavy. try the shrimp & leak or scallop. eat with chopsticks. dim sum YUM!
