nyc dim sum

Had another lovely meal at Jong Fong UWS. Impromptu dim sum with out-of-town visitors, only about a 10 min wait which I was very pleasantly surprised by.

The shiu mai was the best yet - good flavor, well-formed, dainty, perfectly cooked. The turnip cakes were new to me at this location - I thought they were very flavorful, but the texture was a bit off (they fell apart while serving), and yet my Chinese friend loved them so much we got a second order. Shrimp wafer roll also best yet. Only minor disappointment was the har now again - as I reported before, the skins were too tacky (though the filling was perfect). Tried the Peking duck dumplings, which were good, again my friends loved them enough to reorder :joy: We also got the sticky rice, which I rarely ever do, but it was good. I forgot about the crab dumplings. Could have eaten a few more things but we would have burst.
