Thanks for stopping to read this food blog named mmm-yoso!!! Kirk (and His Missus) are gallivanting elsewhere while Cathy is writing.
My most recent post about Hong Kong BBQ and Dim Sum was in 2019, before Covid. Here's an update.
The former movie theater, now a Vietnamese Market, with the Cantonese restaurant in the former lobby has survived Covid-19.
You can see where the snack bar had been located in the last photo of this post.
From the small Dim Sum menu, we ordered XLB-soup dumplings ($6.38). A nice bite and, as you can see, not quite perfect, but no soup was actually lost because of the creative steaming system.
From the 'appetizer' portion of the menu, we ordered the 'Double Delicacy' ($19.95) because we couldn't decide on roasted pork or roasted duck and this was a way to get both (there were leftovers) (both of these meats are really good; tender meat, crisp skin, not too salty.).
Lately, Chow Fun fulfills the craving I've been having for noodles. The wide, flat, rice noodles, stir fried to get that smoky 'wok hei' flavor always seems perfect. (This order was shredded pork with preserved vegetable chow fun ($14.95). I enjoy the briny 'pickle-ness' of preserved vegetables in any dish and combined with the smoked noodles, each bite was delightful).
Always a nice stop before grocery shopping.

Hot tea is always free. We did have to ask for chopsticks.
everything sounded wonderful!

I'm a big fan of the dim sum.

It really is a hidden gem, Kat.
We usually order one or two dim sum items, Soo. It's sort of an 'appetizer'. Maybe we will make it a meal next time.
