Chinatown Adventure
This past weekend, I headed down to Chinatown with my friends Hing, Ali, and Rob to get some dim sum. The day turned into a full on adventure tapping a lot of Chinatown's hidden resources.
We began at Jing Fong Restaurant. We searched Elizabeth St. for the restaurants storefront, but were surprised to find out that the "storefront" was actually a giant escalator into a nondescript building when Rob arrived. On the second floor the elevator let out to a huge grand ballroom filled with round tables and servers wheeling carts full of dim sum trays weaving through them. See a slideshow here. The place was enormous but almost completely packed. In addition to the many delicious treats offered on the carts there was an area where you could pick up food buffet style. This site has some pretty good descriptions of typical dim sum dishes (thanks Hing). After literally stuffing ourselves on some of the best dim sum I've had and consuming 18 plates among the 4 of us, I was shocked to see our bill had only come to $51 in total.
After lunch, we headed over to the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. While I was too stuffed to have any, I was impressed with the selection of exotic flavors they offered here. We then hit the Ten Ren Tea store down the block to pick up some loose tea.
Next we went to Aji Ichiban which specializes in dried fruits and treats. I picked up some delicious dried strawberries and plum flavored dried ginger, which has a sweet and spicy taste.
Finally, we went to a supermarket that also had a subterranean kitchen supply store. Prices were amazing and we decided to pick up some chicken buns that we had tried at dim sum to make at home.
Overall the day was a blast and I left stuffed and with treats and kitchen gadgets to take home. I would highly recommend anyone with a curious appetite and open mind to head down to Chinatown to try out some of these places themselves for both new flavors and good deals. Though I will say I was very glad to have 3 fantastic tour guides to show me around, as Chinatown isn't always as user-friendly an experience to the uninitiated.
