I've was hankering Dim Sum all day long...good thing we live minutes away from ChinaTown...mission accomplished…and a gigantic boba included. I was hoping it was still tasty all those hours later because normally you want to eat Dim Sum in the morning or afternoon, not at night.
We drove to our favorite place, that Toby introduced us to years ago, CBS Seafood but they were closed so we drove around the corner and found another place that was open 24 hours and still selling Dim Sum. It's probably a good thing to try new things as we took home (for $12.10 mind you) a whopping order of Orange Chicken and most of our favorite Dim Sum pieces. The fried chicken wings (5 for $1) was tastier and less greasy than the ones at CBS'! Heck the chicken wings were so good they didn't even make it home. I ate them voraciously out of the container in the car with Moses watching my every move! The Sesame Balls with bean curd, which is another favorite of mine were smaller and not so good (think very hard to chew). They were the last five in the store and they tasted that way. We tried to order some Egg Tarts but the lady said she didn't have any and offered us Egg Buns instead. "What are Egg Buns" I cried when hubby informed me of the change of item. Neither of us had ever heard of them before and I have to say, that they were friggin' delicious! According to our friend Toby, who is an expert at all things Dim Sum, what we received were steamed Nah Wong Bao. I couldn't believe I was missing out on these babies all these years! Pays to go to a new Dim Sum shop every once in a while I guess.
We stopped at Lollicup on the way to the freeway and got the largest bona I have ever seen. I told hubby to get a big one because I didn't want one of my own (too much sugar) and I knew between all three of us we would get it done. Penny of course, loved the bona balls but even with Penny sucking down the bona like I sucked down the chicken wings, the drink is still sitting in our fridge a few days later. It was SO big!
