New York City
Yesterday I joined my family at Dim Sum Go Go,
5 East Broadway, New York, NY 10038. We were 12 adults (including
teenagers and one five year old) plus a baby at a long table in
the rear of the restaurant. Though my daughter and her husband
know this this place well, it was my first visit. As the consummate
native New Yorker, I have eaten in many local restaurants, and
I would rate this as excellent, especially for those who prefer
simplicity to grandeur.
First, from a printed menu we selected an assortment of individual
fried, baked, steamed rice rolls, steamed, vegetable dim sum;
the restaurant also offers 10 pc. platters, plus desserts. We
also ordered other food. Instead of the usual heavily fried chunks
of vegetables, chicken in most Chinese restaurants, we ate diced
and slivered selections with light sauces. The waiters were very
patient and helpful, and one remained at the table to assemble
the ingredients for Peking Duck for each person. The restaurant
is in one room, medium-sized, not noisy, and clean. Located near
Chinatown's Chatham Square, it is easy to find. Telephone: (212)
732-0797.

I have lived in New York City for two years (I moved here from
Malaysia via London). The best place in NYC to have dim sum is
a place called the Golden Unicorn. It's under
the Manhattan Bridge in a tiny three floor maze of a mall. Traditional
pushcarts and the ever-efficient Chinese pack out the two levels
of dining so go early on the weekend (before 11 am). The traditional
(steamed pork dumplings, sticky rice in lotus leaf) and the non-
traditional for Caucasians (duck tongue, chicken feet) are clearly
labelled on the pushcarts in English and in Chinese with pictures
for the newbie.

Flushing
I'd like to tell everybody about Joe's Shanghai,
at 136-21 37th Ave, Flushing, NY. Their phone is 718-539-3838.
People flock there just for their steamed rolls -- with either
pork or crab meat buns. The best ever! You can go in a group or
if you go alone, there are communal tables where you can sit with
other singles.
