Seafood Cove #2 (Westminster)(Dim Sum)

Here you are, reading mmm-yoso!!!  Cathy is writing the food adventure for today.  Kirk is elsewhere, with His Missus.

It was early on a Sunday and The Mister and I started driving North with the intention of having another Brodard breakfast.  At some point, I remembered this breakfast from October  and told The Mister to look for 'Dim Sum' on his phone.  Siri sent us one more exit West to this crowded-before-9 a.m. parking lot.  
 It's self check-in at a touchpad at the hostess stand.  Soon, a text message arrived that our table was ready.

  We were seated, hot tea ($2) was promptly brought out and we could order from the photo menu as well as from the passing carts. 

 Additional beverages were also available from a cart. 

 Shrimp Noodle Roll ($5.99) came from a cart and was filled with large, plump, flavor filled shrimp.  Slippery and  satisfying. Our order from the kitchen (each item $5.99) was delivered quickly.  The Shrimp Har Gow was filled with the same large shrimp and wrapped in a not too thick nor too chewy tapioca based dough.
 The steamed Tofu Skin Roll was filled with pork, carrot, mushroom and crunchy water chestnuts.  
 The Black Mushroom Sui Mai was really tasty.  The Sui Mai filling (pork/shrimp/ginger/mushroom/scallion/water chestnut) was a large serving size to facilitate holding the large black mushroom.  Flavors in every bite! 
 We ordered  the soup dumplings from a cart.  None were leaking.  The dough was chewy, especially at the top folds but overall the filling was quite nice.  
  The fried shrimp balls ($7.99), ordered from the kitchen, were a great choice.  Very large, cut in half and simply a mass of cooked shrimp formed into a paste then rolled in breadcrumbs and fried, this serving could be a complete meal if I could control my cravings. 
The picture menu  had this "Sweet Tofu-available only on Saturday-Sunday", so I had to order it.  What a great way to end the meal!  Soft, warm, fresh made tofu served with a sugar-ginger  sauce. It was quite perfect. 

 Our Order Card.  Seven items plus the hot tea ($49.95).  A very nice special meal.

so many delicious dishes!

I prefer to order dim sum from the menu instead of depending on carts to come by. The business of this restaurant is good for dim sum!

The dessert looks amazing!

It was difficult to whittle down what we wanted, Kat. We kind of ordered 'safe' items for this first visit. The fried taro ball with scallop, turnip cake with eggs as well as the baked pineapple buns are on my mental list for next time.
Since Covid-19, the menu ordering is so much more prevalent, Sandy. The carts are fun to watch and the idea of the beverage cart was a first for us, although I am just a hot-tea person. We were here on a Sunday and that is probably a busier day.
The warm tofu was *really* good, TFD. Ginger is a favorite 'sweet' for me.

My reception was at this place but it was known as Phoenix Dragon.

What a small world, Bill! I bet your reception was elegant, with that staircase and large central room! I hope the post brought back good memories for you.
