Dim Sum in Vancouver

A view of the leftovers on our table after trying Dim Sum for the first time. We ate at Sun Sui Wah Chinese Restaurant.

After a good day at work, I went back to Pedro's and pretty much took it easy tonight. I could hear the partying going on outside on the streets, but I stayed in for many reasons. I need to save money, and I guess I wasn't particularly interested in heading out on this evening. My thoughts were turned toward home.

But I did get to sleep early.

art of the experience of moving to a new place means that -- by nature -- I'll need to be doing new things. So far, every day this week, I've done something brand new, and something unique. Today was no exception.

Today at lunch, after a great deal of questioning the final dining location, a group of new co-workers and I traveled together to a Chinese restaurant. The style of food served here is known as Dim Sum, something that was a little beyond my previous Panda Express boundaries. The meal consists of many little plates of food that the entire group shares. We ordered about 14 different little plates, and each one had a different food,

And each one was something I had never before tried in my life. It's not every day that you try 15 brand new foods -- in one meal. And it was definitely hit or miss. Some of the food was delicious and tasty. Others induced automatic gag reflexes. Items that contained, for example, sticky rice or rice flour, were automatic gags. Fried items appealed to my American sensibilities. Those were delicious.
