Chinatown in SF

One of our quests for San Francisco was to have dim sum. A friend recommended some restaurants but we naively assumed they would be in Chinatown. Luckily, some helpful ladies at the Chinese Cultural Centre pointed us to a good restaurant, City View.

So here we are at the Chinatown gates. And for those of you keeping track at home, we did find the location of a safe house in GTA: San Andreas. Nicole did not scoff as much as I thought she would every time we pointed out a GTA safe house.



Found a coolie hat.

And now to the food. It was really good dim sum. Better than Calgary sadly and more expensive. We couldn't have had more than 15 dishes and it was $60 USD. But soooo tasty.

Shanghai dumplings, rice rolls (although not as good as Calgary's as the hoisin and peanut sauce was missing, and bean curd thingys. The bean curd thingys were the only duds of the group.



Anyone who's gone to dim sum with me knows my love of cream buns. The topping was crunchy and sweet. And the inside, so delicious.




In the foreground was an interesting dumpling. I think it had bamboo and mushrooms?

And then we found a store with my name.
