Dim Sum at Seafood Palace

Saturday, December 7, 2013

Henry called at the last minute and wanted to get together for Dim Sum. So Terry & I joined him. The Seafood Palace is much busier on weekends for Dim Sum than during the week. Also the dishes cost $2.38 each instead of $2.00. No matter it is still a huge bargain compared to other food places.

Started out with Lotus Leaf wrapped rice ball. Rice, mushrooms, Chinese sausage. Had a sweet taste to the rice. You do not eat the lotus leaf. It is strictly a wrap.

Next  was the shrimp in the soft noodle wrap we had last time. Still good, still slippery and hard to eat. Also had the shrimp rolled in seaweed again.

New dish - scallop dumplings, very good and also had a repeat on the ribs, and sweet & sour soup.

Topped it off the beef with snow peas and carrots.

7 dishes for 3 people and the bill with tax & tip came to $11 each.

Wines were all excellent. 2002 & 2006  McKeon Phillips BPR Cabernet and I brought a 2004 Bouchard Pere Fils Gervey Chambertain. At its peak and I don't think it would improve any more.

This was nice break from all the hustle of trying to get things ready for the holidays.
