Let me tell you a little about Dim Sum...

1. You may not know this, I didn't, Dim Sum tastes good and is fun to eat.

2. Again you may not know because I didn't, spring rolls are delicious and should be eaten often.

3. If a nice old lady with a cart of steaming Chinese food offers you a small porcelain boat of wok-fried, sweet walnut sauce covered shrimp- for the love of god take all that you can get! SO good!

4. While you may trust your friends, the people you are dining with, do not trust that they will remember to remove the paper from the bottom of the steamed buns that they are sharing with you- or tell you as a first time dim sum eater that you are supposed to remove the paper- or that they won't laugh at you a lot after they discover that you ate the bun, paper and all and still thought that it tasted pretty good.

5. If you're in Seattle and hungry I would like to direct you toward the Jade Garden in the International District China Town, it changed my life.
