2013-07-23 Chinatown

Visited with my mom's friend again.  After the visit we walked around Chinatown.

There is something about this part of Honolulu, it just oozes with pictures waiting to be taken.  I enjoy the people and businesses that play such and important part of each and every visit.

Dim Sum Mmmmmmmmh



"/ˈdɪmˈsʌm/ refers to a style of Chinese food prepared as small bite-sized or individual portions of food traditionally served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. Dim sum is also well known for the unique way it is served in some restaurants, whereby fully cooked and ready-to-serve dim sum dishes are carted around the restaurant for customers to choose their orders while seated at their tables.

Eating dim sum at a restaurant is usually known in Cantonese as going to "drink tea" (yum cha, 飲茶), as tea is typically served with dim sum."


What Time Is It?
