What did I eat? Dim sum

Where from? Claypot something at New World Mall

How much did it cost? $10

How was it?
New World Mall in Flushing has a food court in the basement. There are plenty of choices for you, depending on what you’re feeling. There’s a large assortment of hotpot shops, dumpling shops, stirfrying shops and desserts. Just be warned that if you go during peak dinner hours, it’ll be hard to find a table.

I got my usual selection of dishes from this place: Congee, spare ribs with black beans, shrimp and pork shumai. They’re all OK. Nothing particularly special but the place is quick and cheap so I can’t complain. I didn’t like that they had corn in the pork shumai though. I thought that was odd. The congee had decent chunks of meat in it. The spare ribs needed to be a bit more tender too.

On the topic of the bubble tea, I’ll make another post eventually after I have taken photos of all the usual bubble tea places I go to: Cha-Time, CoCo, ShareTea, TenRen, Quickly and KungFu.

What did I eat? Dim sum

Where from? Jade Asian

How much did it cost? $27

How was it?
I haven’t been back to Jade Asian in over 2 months so I decided to hit it up with the bro-in-law. Surprisingly, we weren’t able to eat that much; the bill came out to be like $27 with tax and tip. Normally, I’d eat around $20 worth.  And damn, I just forgot to take the photo of the last dish, my favorite roast pork bun! Weekday lunches are the best time to hit up Jade Asian for dim sum. There’s no wait for seating and you don’t have to fight for your food as much since it’s not as crowded.

We had the usual dishes – chicken feet, spare ribs, shrimp dumplings, spring rolls (with mayo), etc. My favorite dish here as mentioned above is the roast pork bun. My second favorite is the spare ribs and as usual, Jade Asian’s did not disappoint; I had two orders of those. Somehow they ran out of the shumai, or the cart never came around, so for the first time in my dim sum visits, I did not eat those.

One thing which pleased us quite a bit was that this time, they left us a jug of water on the table. In previous visits, we always had to hail the waiters multiple times for water refills but this way, it was hassle free for us and them!
