Dim Sum Heaven

The only time you'll find Dim Sum here is when you go to Heaven.

I'm Confucius'd... WTFoo? No dim sum at a resto named Dim Sum Heaven? Cuckoo cuckoo!

This joint is Foo Chow cuisine not even close to Cantonese, in dialect or distance. The Chinese translation of this joint is "Typical Fuzhou Northern Restaurant". The word "typical" is something I don't want to hear from a resto... Panda Expwess is typical.

Tian Noodles- Seafood bits in white noodles. Wet bland style. Nothing more, nothing less.

Stir-Fried Noodles w. Fish & Shredded Meat- Noodles were made with fish paste (interesting) and few strings of meat here and there. Basically, the same thing as the Tian noods.

Slice Conch in Sour Sauce- This thing came out looking like the pan trimmings of a butcher shop, bloody red. The sauce might had been sour once, that was before all the canned veggies diluted it down. Conch or bamboo? Who knows, it was all the same consistency.

Spare Rib w. Wine Sauce- They should call it "Sparse Rib" because there was barely any meat on them bones. I think the cook drank all the Wine, the sauce was your 'typical' brown sauce.

Fish Ball & Foo Chow Meat Ball- Now, this was interesting, a nice little surprise inside but their ballz were not as tender as I would have liked. The broth was decent and facilitated swallowing that load.

Seafood w. Bean Curd Soup- Fuzhou is famous for their soups and if this is any indication... Just shoot me now.

Sauteed Snow Pea Shoots- Alright, finally a dish even Simple Jack can't screw up... Friggin tastee. Period.

Xiao Long Bao- aka Soup Dumps... This is on their so called "Dim Sum" list. Rule: Never bring out soup dumps in a bamboo basket WITHOUT the top cover! Those dumps were tepid and dried out on the top before it got to the table. Though they looked good, the soup had leaked outta most of them.

Pot Stickers- Well, they don't call it that but these pan fwied dumps were barely crispy on the bottom and the filling was barely passable. Just not a lot of flavors going on in here.

No frills is the best term to describe this place... From the decor to the grub. I'm sure there's an audience somewhere for this type of northern Chinese vittles. Hell, there's an audience for CiCi's pizza...

There might be a God in Heaven after all!

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they eat. (Gastro 4:20)
