Message #1431 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date All murphy brown   Dim Sum 1/4/05, 3:45pm Okay tell me about this. Never had any nor do I know of a good place to get it. Is any of it "light" fair? Is it expensive? What do you think of it? -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

Message #1432 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date murphy brown Rob Reed   Re: Dim Sum 1/4/05, 5:25pm Great stuff, to me... you might get grossed out by some of the things on the menu (i.e. chicken feet). My fave Dim Sum place in L.A., by far, is: Empress Pavilion $10 per person, full dim sum meal *** 988 N. Hill St., Suite 201 (2nd floor in shopping mall), Los Angeles (Chinatown); map; (213) 617-9898 The best dim sum in Chinatown! This place is a zoo for dim sum on weekend mornings, but well worth dealing with the hectic scene. The food is great, the prices are excellent, and the ambiance is raucous. Get there early if you prefer not to wait. Exit Chinatown exit on the 110 south, the building is immediately on your left, but you have to go around the block to get to the parking for the mall. (2004) Open M-F 9am - 3pm for dim sum and lunch, Sa-Su 8am - 2pm for dim sum. --- I found the above review somewhere online. It is more expensive than $10/per... you pay per dish, as they come around and display the dishes to you. In general, a lot of steamed stuff... I wouldn't call it "light." -------------------------------------------------------- "Treat the Earth not as if it was given to you by your parents, but as if it was lent to you by your children." - Kenyan Proverb "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those that do not have it." - George Bernard Shaw -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1432 • Back to Topics

I was about to say that sound great then read your last comment that its pay per dish. This group is looking for something different and less expensive I think. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

This group is looking for >something different and less expensive I think. BTW, I hate the chicken feet... Each dish is pretty cheap - like $3.50-$5... and there are probably four of each item with the dish (like four dumplings, or four siopao muffins, etc etc). Marie and I will go with Marie's parents, and the bill for four will probably run in the $40.00s-$60.00s. Not too bad. -------------------------------------------------------- "Treat the Earth not as if it was given to you by your parents, but as if it was lent to you by your children." - Kenyan Proverb "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those that do not have it." - George Bernard Shaw -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1436 • Back to Topics

Not too bad. So do the chickens toe nails stick out through the dough or what? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! Actually it sounds like an interesting place to go for a change. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!
