The Mega Dim Sum

I must apologize for not being able to meet any readers so far. I have a lot of family members in Toronto and since this is my first time here, they all want to see me. As much as I want to do a meet and greet with Toronto readers, family has to come first. Yesterday, all the relatives gathered together at the Very Fair Chinese Seafood Restaurant for a mega dim sum fest. And I do mean fest!

We had over 30 family members showed up to sample over 100 dim sum dishes. Many of the dim sum dishes were off the menu items because the owner of the restaurant kept making up new items for us to try. I almost felt like a Ginnie pig.

Being a Sunday, the restaurant was jam packed, with a line up going out the door. Lucky for us we made reservations the day before. Normally, you still have to wait even if you make reservation, but our tables were reserved and waiting for us when we arrive. No doubt the owner heard I was in town and wanted to lay on the VIP treatment. You don’t want to know how much Dim Sum for 30+ cost. Here’s a sampling of some of the dishes.
