DIM SUM YUM YUMS

For those of you not familiar with this pleasurable indulgenece, Dim Sum is the Chinese answer to High Tea. Although I don't know anybody who approaches it as a "late afternoon snack". No, when we go for Dim Sum we go to FEAST! As my friend Tiina once said "How could anyone resist a meal of snacks?"

While its not necessarily traditional fare for Chinese New Year, the restaurants that specialize in Dim Sum are sure to be busy for the next couple of weeks. A couple of my favorite Dim Sum haunts...
