    It's Chinese New Year's Eve today so we went to Dim Sum! There were 7 of us, 3
    were born in china, another raised in a chinese family. Now, I love dim sum,
    it's my ideal kind of meal, tons of things to try, they're constantly bringing
    you new stuff, everything tastes great. Most of the items are little, roundy
    and have pork or shrimp or pork AND shrimp, a few beef things (mmmm the
    peppery spareribs), and very few vegetables.

    The sad thing is that I don't know what anything is called so I am usually
    stuck trying to describe them to the waiters when I don't see them "the
    things, they're white, they look like footballs...they're chewy!!!" (those are
    my favorite).

    The highlight today was the traditional lion dance that took place in the
    restaurant. They had a huge drum and cymbals and noisemakers and firecrackers
    going while the dragony lions danced and snaked their way around the place.

    It was a wonderful meal and a wonderful time.

    There's a little book on amazon.com that describes 50 kinds of dim sum.
    Has names in Chinese characters and phonetic pronunciation,
    descriptions, and pictures. I've not seen the book except on screen
    but it sounds like you and your friends might like it. -aem

    So sorry, I forgot to give the name. It's Dim Sum: A Pocket Guide.

    Are they doughy, large steamed white buns with a filling inside? If
    so, they're pork buns, Char Siu Bao

    Sorry, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
    "Football" shaped dim sum doesn't mean anything to me and lots of dim
    sum is white.

    Does anything here remind you of what you like?

    We usually go to a place called Yummy on Nicollet Ave, though I'd really like
    to start trying other places in town as their dim sum always seems so much
    greasier than other places I have had it. Still super tasty though.

    I mentioned before that I had gone to Yummy on Nicollet but I forgot to
    mention that they do dim sum all week. During the week they have a limited dim
    sum menu and since this place is 2 blocks from where I work I will sometimes
    head over there for lunch if I am feeling gluttonous.
