Seafood Cove #2 (Westminster)(Dim Sum)

Here you are, reading mmm-yoso!!!  Cathy is writing the food adventure for today.  Kirk is elsewhere, with His Missus.

It was early on a Sunday and The Mister and I started driving North with the intention of having another Brodard breakfast.  At some point, I remembered this breakfast from October  and told The Mister to look for 'Dim Sum' on his phone.  Siri sent us one more exit West to this crowded-before-9 a.m. parking lot. BE90B1D5-2E40-43DC-94CF-F7A1D09317CB 
5F1AD6BB-B645-4948-B97E-68573FFB759A It's self check-in at a touchpad at the hostess stand.  Soon, a text message arrived that our table was ready.

5129DCF5-1DE1-4016-A466-B8659D12C4FD Shrimp Noodle Roll ($5.99) came from a cart and was filled with large, plump, flavor filled shrimp.  Slippery and  satisfying.EE4CDDEE-6C55-473C-B7FC-374B26951856 Our order from the kitchen (each item $5.99) was delivered quickly.  The Shrimp Har Gow was filled with the same large shrimp and wrapped in a not too thick nor too chewy tapioca based dough.
0FC12B8B-24C9-40BC-B44D-87A67A2C8125 The steamed Tofu Skin Roll was filled with pork, carrot, mushroom and crunchy water chestnuts.  
0FC12B8B-24C9-40BC-B44D-87A67A2C8125 The Black Mushroom Sui Mai was really tasty.  The Sui Mai filling (pork/shrimp/ginger/mushroom/scallion/water chestnut) was a large serving size to facilitate holding the large black mushroom.  Flavors in every bite! 
9300F268-B5DD-44FE-91FA-ECB3A570842C We ordered  the soup dumplings from a cart.  None were leaking.  The dough was chewy, especially at the top folds but overall the filling was quite nice.

3010E1D1-5DF7-4523-AE44-B2A2FFDC495F The picture menu  had this "Sweet Tofu-available only on Saturday-Sunday", so I had to order it.  What a great way to end the meal!  Soft, warm, fresh made tofu served with a sugar-ginger  sauce. It was quite perfect. 

FA19F8F4-03B9-455D-B397-F823B7A3A441 Our Order Card.  Seven items plus the hot tea ($49.95).  A very nice special meal.

  1. I prefer to order dim sum from the menu instead of depending on carts to come by. The business of this restaurant is good for dim sum!

  2. It was difficult to whittle down what we wanted, Kat. We kind of ordered ‘safe’ items for this first visit. The fried taro ball with scallop, turnip cake with eggs as well as the baked pineapple buns are on my mental list for next time.
    Since Covid-19, the menu ordering is so much more prevalent, Sandy. The carts are fun to watch and the idea of the beverage cart was a first for us, although I am just a hot-tea person. We were here on a Sunday and that is probably a busier day.
    The warm tofu was *really* good, TFD. Ginger is a favorite ‘sweet’ for me.

  3. What a small world, Bill! I bet your reception was elegant, with that staircase and large central room! I hope the post brought back good memories for you.
