I’m telling you, these dim sum posts never seem to end. Here’s HKYK Seafood Hot Pot Restaurant, which actually does dim sum.. from 8am until 4am. Just a few more hours and they’d be running 24 hour dim sum, just like the place that used to be at Kingsway & Joyce (now it’s a hot read more »

Boiling Point 沸點, #130-4800 No. 3 Rd, Richmond, BC

September 8, 2011 – 18:59

Stuck for dinner, I called out Jeff and Caitlin and we went to Boiling Point. Problem was, it was late July and it was stinkin’ hot already. Wise choice I made, going to a hot pot place with no AC inside. With each hot pot, you’re given a choice of 5 levels of spiciness, ranging read more »

Oh look, it’s another dim sum post. This time we’re in Richmond at Harbour Spirit Restaurant, which used to be Sammy J. Peppers.

Delicious Cuisine (一品怪廚), Richmond, BC

November 15, 2010 – 16:31

I wish I could blog everyday, or even every other day like many other bloggers out there, but life just seems to take precedence over sitting down and humming and hawing over what to type.
