Gimme Some Dimsum!


December 13th, 2007

dimsum fest!

Haaaay!  :D  Dimsum that’s authentic as authentic can be!  T & S (Tan & Sy? Your guess is as good as mine!) Seafood Restaurant is officially our favorite dimsum place.  If hubby is to be believed (and he should be! ;)), they only offer dimsum on Sundays.  Now that’s something to look forward to at the end of a very long week! ;)

dimsum cart

We’ve dined at T&S twice and both times, we stuffed ourselves silly with loads of dimsum.  Three to four carts of dimsum make their way around the restaurant and I tell you, it’s so hard not to just say “Ok, we want everything!”.  There’s a cart with only fried dimsum, 2 with the steamed selections and another one for desserts.  On our first visit, they even had taho! I feel like a kid lost in a candy store whenever a cart stops by our table and we are asked to make a selection.  The cost per order ranges from $1.75 to about $3.50.  Want to see what we had on our last dimsum binge?  Here’s a feast for your eyes…

No matter how full we are.  We always try to make room for dessert…specially me!  There is ALWAYS room for dessert! ;)  We had a late lunch so by the time we got to dessert, the cart had but a few attractive choices left.

abby and her mango pudding

Abby loved her mango pudding. 

yummy dessert!

My dessert plate.  A white mouse tikoy with custard filling and egg tart with macapuno topping for hubby and me.  Abby ended up with the edible mouse. ;)

I don’t understand why anyone would make dessert look like a mouse.  I didn’t realize it was a mouse until it was served in front of me.  Eeeew!  While I was making my dessert pick, I simply pointed at what looked all too familiar…single serve  tikoy.  I wanted to ask the nice lady to take it back but nah, Abby had a blast with her, er, edible pet.

loving her dessert...and kissing it too!

See?  She even kissed it!

bite the mouse! :D

Then bit its nose off!  Eeeeew! :lol:

What can I say?  We love dimsum!  Once a week isn’t too much, don’t you think?  *sweet contented sigh*
