1. The first time I had Dim Sum, I was more than impressed, I was stricken.

It became a semi-regular thing, as an alternative to "western" brunch or lunch. It wasn't long, however, that I realized that once one had determined their favourite items, that was what one ate every time... or, at least a selection from that dozen or so favourites. Now, we go every two or three years.

As with virtually everything else, it has become insanely expensive. The last time we went, median price for a selection from those rolling carts was about $9, which doesn't seem absurd, but consider the miniscule amount of food in those tiny little saucers. Our bill for 4 people was about $120.
