I'm in the mood for dim sum again so if anyone is interested in joining me this Saturday, July 2nd, please add yourself.

Thinking NBC, although they are usually busy as heck. Other recommendations welcomed. Meet at 10:00AM.

I had my first Dim Sum experience last weekend (Im Mexican). I went to Ocean Star (I think, 2nd Floor) in Monterey Park. It was good. Things I wouldnt order anywhere else, but I experimented and I eat Snails among other stuff that I have no idea what they where!

I got the idea from one of your threads, thanks....

 

Uhhh, sorry for the dumb question but....the white kid wants to know what the heck Dim Sum is???

 

How do u live in the OC and not know what dim sum is...lmao. Nevermind, HB is a different world.

Dimsum is chinese breakfast/brunch...usually a cart with different steamed or fried appetizer-like dishes comes around and you pick and choose which ones you like. Most of the dishes are foods you usually don't find on the regular menu. I love it...I always get porridge, pork spare ribs, shumai, as well as a bunch of things I can't pronounce nor do I even know, I just know by looking at the dish. LOL

 

Kham, What's up, I am their, Let me know.

 

Fung chow(chicken feet),One of my best Dim sum dishes.A place called Happy House use to be Ten-Ten,But it's in Cerritos.They have very good Dimsum for so many years..

 

He lived in HB which is home of the So Cal Neo **** movement. There are racial lines in OC don't you know?

Things that may scare white people off are tripe, chicken feet, sweet beans, pig intestines, pig feets, etc. They all taste good though when prepared right. Lots of pork products so sorry Jewish folks.

 

snail is considered dim sum? Never seen those when i go for Dim Sum in the OC.

 

Basically, you sit down, a cart comes by, you pick items off it. It's like all ala carte items. One cart might be steamed items like shu mai, har gow, basically pork and shrimp dumplings. Very good. Another cart that comes by might be fried chinese brocolli, another of my favorites. Some carts have the fried sesame seed *****, more like desert items. And then the challenging stuff like tripe and chicken feet come around and then i wait and go order more sticky rice and shu mai. Anyways, that's basically it, they are appetizer sized foods usually in these metal round plates and you order family style sharing with the people at your table. It's great stuff! The better the place, the more different items they have. You gotta try it.

 

Oh hell yeah I know...my first boss was from HB and our office was in HB. He used to say the most off-color comments that made everyone in the staff meeting lower their heads and wonder WTF?!!!

HB and Laguna...keep it up and you all folks are gonna be movin' to BFE like Lancaster ya hear? lmao.

 

I think there's a Panda Express or Pick up Stix near there for Brian.

 

Ten-Ten was the best, got the seal of approval from the wife and the mo'in-law. Used to work in Cerritos and would eat lunch there weekly.

In Rowland, Hong Kong Palace is always good. We recently tried the New Capital (which used to be Ruby something) upstairs in Diamond Plaza (is it life plaza now?) Prices were not bad, and the service was surprisingly good. They wouldn't ignore you if there is a little cart traffic, they'd go out of their way to see if you want a dish.

We did our organzing meet for Team Transport at HK palace and had about 26 folks there. It was a blast. Unfortuantely, I'm out of town this weekend, or we would definitely have been there.

Cheers, ted

 

Pick up Stix....yummm

 

Kham start a roll call list.

Always a fan of a thread that talks about food, esp dim sum. Is this NBC restaurant far from Irvine? I'm still relatively new to Cali so if ppl have suggestions on places to go then I'll take them. Best dim sum is in downtown Chinatown but Rowland Heights got a lot of good places to. Haven't found any places in the OC tho.

 

hey kamz i'm in ... i loooooooove dim sum... except chicken feet... skip that.. throw everything else my way... where is NBC ?

 

i think its in monterey park

 

I think its on Atlantic near Garvey in the city of Monterey Park.

 

They were sea snails, looked very well prepared thats why I asked what they were. Once I heard snails.........late's, I'll stick to the shrimp dumplings!
