Dim Sum on Sunday
Did somebody say restaurants are losing their client base, that people no longer go out to eat as much as they once did? Not at Koi Palace in Colma on Sunday at noon. The restaurant was jammed, and the waiting room was packed so full it took several minutes for Plotnik to force his way towards the hostess in order to grab an electronic number. Then Plot, Duck, BZ and Cousins One and Two waited over an hour to get seated and then another hour and a half to choose and consume their dim sums as they rolled by.
Wadda think: do Cousin Two Names and The Great BZWZ look like cousins?
The dumplings and the dragon beard candy were quite good, and the fish had to be fresh since every few minutes a man would come to the fish tanks with a net, grab a carp or bass or grouper, throw it on the floor and WHAMMM it with a club, then haul it into the kitchen.
Cousins One and Two are already in the car, driving the seven hours back to South Stiletto and Plot is really glad it's not him.

So was it worth the wait? The Smiling One just asked if it is expensive. I love the photo of the bearded candy, I'd go there just for that!
Holy cow - that does not look like fun at all! It reminds me of the time many years ago when my parents were visiting and we wandered into a place like that in Chinatown. We had no idea what dim sum was, but it was off peak so getting in and fed was no problem. We were really sweating how big of a bill we were running up though (it turned out to be not bad at all - I told you it was many years ago).
The fish thing sounds a bit frighteniing to me though...
"waited over an hour" - those words do not make sense to the King, except if it's for deep-dish Chicago-style pizza - no, wait, the King takes it back. Back in the 80's, maybe, but the King does not wait now. The King thinks that he would rather go for dim sum downtown at Yank Sing, where he does not have to wait...
Thank ya, thank ya vurry much...
