I have eaten dim sum my almost my entire life and not once have I had this, even when I was in Hong Kong. So, it's a perfect time to seize the moment. Truthfully, there isn't a whole lot of flavor. It's really just a fishier and more nutritious style of chips.
Chilies Stuffed with Shrimp
Ok, this isn't the most original dish in the world considering there is just a variation of the more common green bell peppers. If you're a lover of spicy food, you would definitely want to try this.
Offal Stew
This dish is something that I really miss since moving out of the New York area. For the uninitiated, it looks like horror movie or shit in a bowl. But, when done right, this can be the greatest thing in the world. This comprises of a variety of stewed parts where you can choose which ones you like. This bowl contains duck feet, beef tripe, abomasum, and spleen among others.
Lobster on Fried Noodles
This isn't really dim sum, but it is something that can be ordered during said meal. It is traditional at dim sum restaurants to order a large dish at the end of the meal, which usually includes rice or noodles. Here, there is a one pound Maine lobster fried and sautéed with ginger and scallions served on a bed of fried egg noodles. The noodles are the key to the dish as they soak up the delicate sauce of and lobster juice. I will take this over a lobster roll any day. And not to mention, they cost the same.
Cinnamon Jelly
This is the only restaurant I have seen this being served. To be honest, I have no idea exactly how this is made. But I can guess that it is made from agar-agar like many Chinese jelly desserts. The specs of cinnamon are then placed in the aspic as it is cooking and then it is cooled before eating.
