Just to cover all the bases - Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Not much to say; just a few photos. Can you guess where this is from?
And of course we had to have a noodle dish:
I know it's not quite New Years yet. But to quote the Missus, "New Years Eve is better; because that's when we eat!"
Hope everyone is having a fun and safe weekend!

Kirk,
I'm drooling. Every one of those photographs makes me feel like breaking my low-carb diet - I'm counting down the months until I expect to be able to put on my skinny jeans and go out for dim sum.

Lots of chinese dim sum is LOW CARB. Look at the first dish for example, it has a thin little skin of made of flour and the rest of the dumpling is meat, seafood, egg.
You can do Chinese on Low Carb. As a matter a fact I believe the reason that asian people are thin because they eat low carb.
When you go to dim sum, eat dumplings with thin skins, barbecue meets, tofu, and veggies...
mmmm

Hey, Kirk and Everybody! Happy Chinese New Year!
Are the pics from China Max?
By the way, the ultimate low-carb dim sum is chicken feet!

Hi Kirk,
Happy Chinese New Year to you and the missus.
So tell me, where was the dim sum from?
Posted by: Reid | Monday, 30 January 2006 at 01:31 AM
Hi Howie - I'm guessing you probably eat too much dim sum for your own good. LOL! Yes, it's China Max. BTW, isn't alot of sugar used to make chicken feet?
Hi Reid - Thanks, same back at ya'. The restaurant is China Max.

Ah, I've not been to China Max...when it opened it was too crowded and then after a few reviews...and when I get into the area and am hungry and there is no parking...well, theres the Convoy Noodle House just across the street and Chopstix one parking lot over, and the Dumpling Inn and...well...I get diverted.

"BTW, isn't alot of sugar used to make chicken feet?"
Hmmm...maybe this is why my special chicken feet diet is not working...

Hi Candice - Happy Chinese New Year to you!
Hi Cathy - It's quite easy to get distracted/diverted on Convoy.
Hi Howie - How about tripe???? LOL!
