What I Ate: November 28, 2010 (Chinatown Restaurant)

Lunch: We went to Chinatown Restaurant (3407 Greystone Drive, Austin, TX (512) 343-9307) to try out their weekend dim sum.

Most of the items were pretty decent.

I especially like the "Shrimp and Leek" dumpling which are technically shrimp and garlic chives.

Likewise, the chicken and basil isn't actually basil. In Chinese, it's actually referring to cilantro, but I don't think they use either of those herbs.

The chicken feet were the best we've had in Austin so far.

On the other end, the Peking duck buns were a little under-sauced and dry.

The turnip cakes had good flavor but too watery in the center for my taste.

And the tofu skin wraps had a filling that I didn't really enjoy.

The Chinese broccoli came with this sauce that was like a weak watery oyster sauce.

Dinner: I tried the 5-3-1 Burger from What-A-Burger, and, as usual, was disappointed.

When I got home I ate the leftover dim sum from that morning.
