$16 lunch/dinner from China town

I have to admit that I don't have patient. So when I was waiting at the "HK Dim Sum" store for almost 15+ minutes to have my to-go food done, I already decided not to come to this resturant ever again. Let me clearify that there's nothing particularly wrong with the resturant regarding to taking 15+ minutes to get my food done. It's just that their delivery doesn't meet my expectation. That's all.



But then I thought, hey maybe the food was good, and that maybe after I tasted it, all would be forgiven. Right? So finally my food was done. It was a box of steam siu mai, a box of steam shrimp roll, and a box of seafood fry noddle, costing me $16 over all. A bit expansive from my point of view, but I thought, heck, I only go to Chinatown resturant only 3 to 4 times per year, so, what the heck.

I finished the box of steam siu mai I was still driving. They tasted nice. After all the store is supposed to be specialize on Dim Sum. So it makes sense that they tasted OK.

And then when I get home, I tried that box of fried seafood noodle.

Not so good I have to say. It tasted like they put too much MSG In it. And by browsing around the ingredients they put in, 3 words popped up in my head: high profit margin.

Nevertheless, because I was so utterly hungry, I finished the whole box anyway.

I still haven't tried the steam shrimp roll yet. We'll see. We'll see.
