If It's Monday It's Dim Sum

Monday, December 14, 2015

Six today to partake in Dim Sum. The usual suspects met at the Seafood Palace for lunch. Place was crowded today. A lot of offices having their employee holiday lunches.

A lot of white wine showed up today for some reason so we ordered heavy on the seafood

Started out with Steamed Shrimp Dumpling and Pork Shu Mai. Then our complimentary bowl of the hot, sour soup. Glad this came early. The weather is cold and it really tasted extra good today.

White fish with Bok Choy is always winner then another dish with Bok Choy - Shrimp with fat noodles. Lots of vegetables today.

Henry ordered the Stir Fry Lobster with special noodles. We all agreed this dish was better two weeks ago.  It was still good but not quite the same. Could be a different cook.

Had to have a beef dish as we had 2 red wines on the table.  So Beef with Snow Peas was next.

Dessert was our usual Daan-taat - egg custard tarts.

Wines were interesting.

A Louie Bouillot champagne and a Perrier Joulet champagne to start with.

2014 Chateau La Gordonne, Cotes de Provence, Rose. Nice wine

2011 Tourine Val de Loire, Sauvignon Blanc - excellent with the soup

2010 Alma Rose , Sta Rita Hills, Pinot Noir -  Richard Sanford does make good wine

2008 Thorne, Rio Vista Vineyard, Sta Rita Hills, Pinot Noir - excellent wine
