Dong Yi Feng (Tung Yi Fung) Dong Yi Feng is my mom's regular dim sum place. She goes there with her Mahjong group every Wednesday and most of the staff knows her. I've been there several times and just realized I haven't blogged it. It's generally a very reliable place with a broad selection, even on weekdays.

This time, I was a bit disappointed that the Shrimp Dumpling skins and the Chive Dumpling skins were a bit too thick but otherwise, stuff was good.

The tripe (underneath the duck feet) was actually exceptional, tender yet bouncy, with so much flavor. Bring on the cholesterol.

The pork ribs are a long time dim sum classic that are tasty but oily, so I limit consumption of it.


Now, Beef Short Ribs have become pretty standard too. They are similar to the pork ribs but more peppery, again, sitting in a pool of oil (standard at any place you get it).

The Clams in Black Bean Sauce (often only served on weekends) is one of my favorites. The giant plate of plump little clams is such a bargain at dim sum.

There's usually only one offering of greens at dim sum. Most of the time, it's Chinese Broccoli with oyster sauce. I love it when they use the baby ones, bright green and tender.

There's always a variety of dumplings and I can't even remember what filling these had now.

These Shrimp Stuffed Chilies had such a great flavor and texture, except they were cold.

These Roast Pork Pastries were flaky and buttery. Yum Yum Yum! we also got the regular steamed roast pork buns which I guess we forgot to take a picture of.

My mom never goes to dim sum without eating her favorite fish balls. These were less spherical than most but still good with some extra herbs.

My dim sum must-have, the shrimp wrapped in rice noodles, pretty average this time.

My mom wanted us to try this other dish, which you have to order, it doesn't come around on the carts. It's a very soft rice noodle with cilantro in it. Pretty good.

My brother always has to end his dim sum with the Coconut Jello Squares. I don't care for them though.

I love going to dim sum with my family, the more the merrier, you get to try more stuff. It's great for family time, to sit and chat, eat at any pace you want, and sip the great tea.
