Yu-Hsi Dimsum Resto

So we went to this dimsum restaurant in Taipei. Dimsum is supposed to Hong Kong-style side dishes, right? But somehow it seems like some of the dishes were more Taiwanese than HK-ese.

But anyway I'm not really complaining cuz they were pretty good!

eggplant dish

clams

(yum!)

tofu in crab sauce

(mmm...)

radish cakes

prawn in spring rolls

(nice texture... haha)

spicy hot stinky tofu

(it was like, ugh... either you like it or you don't. i didn't)

deep fried large intestine

(very delectable)

beef + veggies

large intestines + pig blood cubes

(i don't eat pig blood so i skipped this one...)

tossed prawn and eggs

The resto is located near the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall MRT Station and a set (five dishes) cost NTD390 + 10% tax. It's not exactly super cheap but it's a pretty good deal!

Paotsin Beef Wanton

I would like to include the good ol' faithful paotsin dimsums which filled up a lot of my lunches and snacks. I remember having paotsin for lunch for a whole month! This one on the picture is paotsin's steamed beef wanton with sweet chili sauce and hainanese rice. It's not exactly my favorite but it is one of the most convenient food choices I have here in Makati as it is right here in the building and I don't have to go very far to have a full meal. Choices includes a wide variety of dimsums and dumplings, sauces choices are: sweet, sweet chili, toyomansi (soy sauce with lime) or a mix of sauces, the dimsum may be steamed or fried, then the rice may be hainanese, plain or seafood. :)
