Diwali and Dim Sum

We did not do much for Diwali, as far as I can tell. We did go to the temple in Sunnyvale last weekend. There were things happening, but we are not in the 'know', so we missed the cool stuff. We did eat at a few of the many food vendors there, and apparently the mendhi woman was back, but we didn't get that done.

On Sunday, we had Dim Sum with SnS in Cupertino. It was lovely and amazing dim sum, the kids are always happy with these meals, there is always something for them to eat, and they get to stuff themselves silly with their most loved char siu bau.



I managed to snap a photo before it all disappeared. From the back, the round domes that are cut in half are steamed egg custard buns, then the char siu bau is the ragged topped steamed pork buns. Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce is my favorite, especially when coupled with sriracha sauce (super hot chile sauce). On the place in the right front, is the last chicken wing. This was something that I had never experienced before. They were mind blowing. Very simply prepared with salt and pepper and deep fried. We ended up having to order another plate of them because everyone wanted more. The shallow bowl on the left is a noodle dish, that was very good, but needed salt. This particular restaurant has made it's way to the highest parts of my dim sum list. Their siu mai is absolutely outstanding, and they do lovely things with pea shoots and fresh waterchestnuts.

For anyone around here, who wants to check it out, it is The Joy Luck Place in Cupertino.
