Where can you get the best Dim Sum? Anyone have a good definition of Dim Sum?

~KitchenManager Wed, Nov 12, 1997 (02:25) #1

And this year's winner is: Tien Hong

~stacey Wed, Nov 12, 1997 (09:48) #2

I'd have to agree, although this is the ONLY place I've ever had Dim Sum.

~terry Wed, Nov 12, 1997 (13:43) #3

Define dim sung please someone.

~stacey Thu, Nov 13, 1997 (09:50) #4

Dim sung or dim sum? [1~Dim, the Elvis impersonator sung at the Copacabana before his operation to become a Barbara Striesand lookalike. Dim Sum is a Vietnamese (?) brunch event where the waitress rolls a cart around with all sorts of edible delicacies and you take what you want, when you want. The most famous Dim Sum dish would be chicken's feet. Something about good luck I believe. If you go to Tien Hong, there is plenty of veg food to keep you busy! I think the whole affair is most fun when you go in a large group.

*wandering hands*

~stacey Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (10:25) #13

Where are they wandering?

~KitchenManager Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (10:28) #14

Not sure yet, but I'll let ya know when they get there!

~stacey Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (10:30) #15

If I'm lucky, I may know before I'm told!

~KitchenManager Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (10:32) #16

If we keep this up, there may not be a choice... Who am I kidding, there's always choices.

~stacey Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (10:36) #17

Yes, there are always choices. That's why you shouldn't find yourself "in a bad place" for too long. You can fix it. You can't control some situations though, so the "fix" isn't always what you'd hoped for. Now... back to those wandering hands. Do you believe me about the panties yet?

~KitchenManager Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (16:07) #18

Doesn't matter. If I say no, you will take them off. If I say yes, can't prove it anyway.

~tisdel Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (16:20) #19

What are we talking about?

~terry Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (18:25) #20

~stacey Tue, Nov 18, 1997 (11:05) #22

Indecent Exposure again today. Trust me, te undies thing is a preference -- much too restrictin at times.

~KitchenManager Wed, Nov 19, 1997 (02:41) #23

ok (and probably not enough at others)

~terry Wed, Nov 19, 1997 (09:42) #24

I went Dim Sum last night on my date. To Pacific Moon at 2712 Bee Caves Road. The food was awesome. I had a salad, with mushroom soup for an appetizer (the soup was made with Chaterelles and Shitake, it was the *best* soup I've ever had), and I had the seafood sampler for an entree. When I first walked in, the decor was that of a very upscale whorehouse, bright red Victorian furniture in a living room setting that didn't look very restauranty at all. But very comfortable. They had a scrapbook that I looked through of their previous incarnation in Little Rock, AK. My date, an extremely attractive blond, was great company and just happened to have a gift certificate from her movie producer friend. I'll have to send him a thank you note. Great dining experience. Dim Sung at it's best.

~stacey Wed, Nov 19, 1997 (11:14) #25

Is this the same date as last week (movie night)? Or are you "playing the field"?

~terry Wed, Nov 19, 1997 (12:14) #26

Same. But I play on the field also.

~stacey Wed, Nov 19, 1997 (12:53) #27

outfield, infield? Any preferences?

~terry Wed, Nov 19, 1997 (13:28) #28

Prefer the female players.

~KitchenManager Thu, Nov 20, 1997 (14:28) #29

I take it then that you're not a switch hitter, terry? And are ya exposing any indecencies again today, stacey?

~terry Thu, Nov 20, 1997 (15:13) #30

Not a switch hitter and no plans of becoming one.

~stacey Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (10:49) #31

Prim and not-quite proper today!

~KitchenManager Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (10:52) #32

I thought the kiss tasted different...

~stacey Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (11:08) #33

Where were you kissing? *giggle*

~terry Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (11:23) #34

Auctions are said to become a declining segment of ecommerce in the stats I looked at yet you guys get ever more wildly successful. It's great to hear your success story.

~stacey Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (11:25) #35

Hey Paul, you lost?? You just bardged in to our virtual bedroom!!! *laugh*

~KitchenManager Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (11:32) #36

Just because we bid well, doesn't mean we're wildly succesful(sp?), yet...

~autumn Fri, Jun 5, 1998 (22:08) #37

I just got these Dim Sum frozen tofu/veggie wraps with sobaya kamut/buckwheat noodles from the food co-op. The kids can hardly wait....

~KitchenManager Fri, Jun 5, 1998 (23:22) #38

well... how were they?

~stacey Mon, Jun 8, 1998 (16:59) #39

made by a company called Dim Sum?

~autumn Wed, Jun 10, 1998 (19:24) #40

No, they're from Health is Wealth. Haven't had 'em yet, though--saving them for a Wednesday night (the girls eat at my parents' on Wed.)

~KitchenManager Wed, Jun 10, 1998 (20:30) #41

that would be tonight

~autumn Fri, Jun 12, 1998 (13:51) #42

Yeah, but my husband's out of town. I hate to dim sum alone, don't you, wer?

~KitchenManager Fri, Jun 12, 1998 (16:01) #43

never dim sum-med, actually...

~jgross5 Fri, Jun 12, 1998 (19:32) #44

dim was sum good times i had with Dimmie. towards the end of our friendship, tho, she beat me to death several times with a turnip. but she only snapped my arm off twice. if she'd call me tonight to eat out with her, i'd jump at the chance, put on some icecream, drive over and pick her up, all within like 20 minutes probably.

~autumn Mon, Jun 15, 1998 (13:09) #45

You are too much!! :-)

~riette Mon, Jun 15, 1998 (16:37) #46

Isn't he?!?! I have never met anyone quite so confusing as Jim Gross, and that's the honest truth.

~stacey Tue, Jun 16, 1998 (13:58) #47

*laugh*

~autumn Wed, Jun 17, 1998 (21:43) #48

He probably feels the same way about you, Riette! :-D

~KitchenManager Wed, Jun 17, 1998 (23:51) #49

Wednesday, again, did you et dem dim sum, hon?

~autumn Thu, Jun 18, 1998 (00:06) #50

Good one, wer! Nope. He is in a frenzy getting ready for this vacation, and I ate leftovers and went to Wal-Mart. How's that for quality time?

~KitchenManager Thu, Jun 18, 1998 (00:11) #51

depends, what did you get at Wal-Mart?

~autumn Thu, Jun 18, 1998 (00:15) #52

Birthday gift for my nephew (like, one hour before the party!)--art supplies.

~riette Thu, Jun 18, 1998 (01:57) #53

It's because of people like you that people become artists and biologists. Mum's best friend always forgot our birthday, then she'd rush to the nearest supermarket and get us art supplies, because all kids like to draw. As did I, but Sonja liked disecting dead insects, so she'd take the little sharpner apart, and use it as a scalpel, while the paint brushes became poking instruments. In the end I became an artist and she a biologist . . . so last minute gifts truly have their uses, you see.

~autumn Sun, Jul 5, 1998 (00:00) #54

Yeah, imagine what your you'd be doing with your life if she'd bought you Safari Barbie.

~riette Sun, Jul 5, 1998 (01:24) #55

He could brush her hair, undress her everywhere . . .

~sprin5 Sat, May 20, 2000 (05:47) #56

What does Dim Sum mean. Keep going Riette.
