If It's Monday Then It's Dim Sum

Monday,  July 18, 2016

It's been a couple of months since we got together for Dim Sum. With vacations etc., getting in the way. So looking forward to today's lunch with the boys.  CJ picked up Terry and brought him. In two months there has been a drastic change in him. It saddens me deeply. But he is making the most of it and looks forward to be able to get out with the group.

We started out with Salt & Pepper Calamari followed by Shrimp Shu Mai. Just enough to get the taste buds going.

Then off to the Seaweed Wrapped Shrimp Deep Fried. We seem to have a tendency to stay with the tried and true for the most part

Our complimentary bowl of Spicy Sour Soup arrived.  Today it was just a tad bit spicier than usual. Different cook. 

A plate of Fried White Fish with  Sesame Seeds and greens was very good today. This was followed by a plate of Sauteed Shrimp with Chinese Broccoli. Shrimp were perfect.

Since we had so many red wines Henry threw in a dish of Orange Peel Beef Strips. Tender and amazing flavor.

Our normal dessert of Daan Tart  (egg custard tarts) was gobbled down.  Another nice Dim Sum.

Our wines were mixed. A bottle of Viuda Seguras Cava started us out in the right direction.

Followed by 2003 McKeon Phillips, BPV, Cabernet Sauvignon. 2005 Stolpman Angeli, 2005 Chateau De Doyenne Bordeaux and a 2010 Forstmeister Geltz, Zilliken, Spatlese.

The Cab was spot on. The Angeli was a little tight even after being decanted but started to open up after awhile and showed what is really was.  The Bordaeux was a weak wine and The Spatlese was too sweet.
