DIM SUM.....YUM!

This Sunday The Garcia's eating adventure was Dim Sum! at "The Great Wall." down by Camelback and 35th Ave. Well It wasn't much of an adventure since we've been there about 5 times already. I think they are starting to recognize us.

These two dishes on the right hand side are two different kinds of dumplings. The farthest to the right are shrimp dumplings in a translucent wrapper usually a dough made with tapioca flour. You can see right next to those shrimp dumplings is a pink slip which is kept at our table so the servers can mark down what we've selected from their cart.
The servers go up and down the isles with their carts of different kinds of dishes. The other dumplings are pork and shrimp.
For those of you who don't know what Dim Sum is =Dim sum (literally meaning "a bit of heart") is the name for a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea. Yum cha (literally "drinking tea") is the term used to describe the entire dining experience, especially in contemporary Cantonese. It is usually served in the mornings until noon time at Chinese restaurants and at specialty dim sum eateries where typical dishes are available throughout the day. Dishes come in small portions and may include meat, seafood, and vegetables, as well as desserts and fruit. The items are usually served in a small steamer basket or on a small plate.(http://en.wikipedia.org)

This is one of Diego's favorite dishes, it's some kind of noodle dish and it only starts coming out around 11am. We always wait for this dish. Its very popular amongst the children.
