DIM SUM With Moving Cart

[cotang]

Looking for a Good DIM SUM place that has the menu on a moving cart. Don't see those much around anymore....

Grand Central corner of 16th ave and center st N.

Top floor of that mall.

[realazy]

Silver Dragon still does that.

Yup Regency (top level dragon city mall) does pushing carts, plus you can walk up to grab stuff.

Just lost CCR to Dannie there 2 days ago so for sure.

Ordering lists better but old school is cool on busy days.

I can't do those as an adult once finding out what they're made of.

But my take based on Dannie's dynamic Instagram. She's probably eaten more international weird food than ur average Asian anyways.

The white washed Asian guy who until recently everyone thought was a whitewashed white guy.:rofl:

Had it two weeks ago. Cheap. Not amazing, but food was decent.
Don't get anything they have on fire-sale haha. We had curry fishballs that literally would bounce if we dropped them.

The only thing you get from Ho Won is salt and pepper squid.

[RNB11]

I think the place that took over Singapore Sam still does this as well.

:drool: Do they still take about an hour to get your first dish?

I think Silver dragon would be my first choice for quality and taste, then followed by central grand. Regency sometimes takes a while to get to you if they are busy and it's a hit-n-miss on quality.

[GQBalla]

Ho won is best for price to quantity ratio

LOL I totally thought he was a white guy.

Also, yes. Im far too white to do the chicken feet thing. However, I didn't notice any of the Asians having them either on Saturday.....

[BavarianBeast]

Off topic and random question but everytime I go to japanese village the meat ninja always offers us the shell of the shrimp they cook. We always thought it was a funny joke, you know offering us the shell of the shrimp. Until yesterday, an Asian couple accepted and ate a bunch of the shells. All I was thinking is are you serious, that is like eating toe-nails.

Is it traditional to eat the shell of shrimp if you are Asian?

Love Silver Dragon for DimSum!

And can't believe how times have changed where full white families do dim sum voluntarily.

My husband is white and will eat some of the traditional asian dishes. I prefer the westernized ones.

They were probably being polite. My white ex girlfriend ran out the door screaming when she saw me eat chicken feet for the first and last time :rofl:

I learn that pulling out chicken feet isn't the only thing an Asian dude can scare off white girls with.

[BigMass]

depends on what you mean by white guy. There's the western football watching truck driving meat and potatoes brah that can't stomach anything other than steak, beef, burgers, beef and some form of starch. Then there's the eastern Europeans that came out of their own communist block that ate all the parts of the animal as well and are used to crap like stomach, brains, chicken feet, neck etc.

Giving her a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass doesn't help either

Last time I was at Regency with the team we spotted a few mice running around the ceiling up by the lights. Sorry, not going back there again..

Yes. i.e. the tail part on Japanese tempura is meant to be crispy and eaten; kinda like softshell crab I guess.

One year bump. Still voting for silver dragon and central grand?

[killramos]

i was at Silver Dragon a few weeks ago and it was great. Cart experience.

Overall though i prefer You&Me to order a la carte as you can end up waiting around forever for the carts to bring out what you want or not getting items you want. I think you can technically request items at Silver but good luck flagging someone down to take your order in that place.
