Thanks for the compliment on my blog. I don't set myself up as a chef but merely a person who likes to eat well and generally has to cook it to get it. I was in SF in '88 but not likely to get there again. We never go to TO either, not really into big cities although I did enjoy SF when I was there. I ended up with lots of Gaelic Coffees there too I remember.<BR/><BR/>My friend who was introducing us to the local dim sum restaurant is half Chinese so I figure she knows good dim sum. I hope so at least. When we finally get to this place, I will find out.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-49673474966202776202008-10-25T09:04:00.000-04:002008-10-25T09:04:00.000-04:00Dear Jo, |Marilyn directed me to your blog.

My friend in Toronto who lived in Hong Kong tells me that the best Chinese food in TO is at the big, fancy hotel in Chinatown. The best and most elegant dim sum I think in the US is at YANK SING in San Francisco...a not-to-be-missed destination if in that city!<BR/><BR/>Allt he best!<BR/><BR/>Lisa Rome<BR/>Pacific Palisades, CaliforniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-63734404589472845102008-10-18T10:00:00.000-04:002008-10-18T10:00:00.000-04:00The young lady who is taking us tomorrow loves chi...The young lady who is taking us tomorrow loves chicken feet, probably very similar I imagine. They are considered a great delicacy and I believe they just crunch them between their teeth. Never tried duck's tongues where did you have those, I mean what kind of restaurant?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-41828721283882206842008-10-18T09:53:00.000-04:002008-10-18T09:53:00.000-04:00Jo --Ducks' feet.

I've eaten ducks' tongues, yes, and they are delicious, but I don't know if I will be able to get past the idea of eating a duck's feet!<BR/><BR/>MarilynMarilyn Z.

I do enjoy it though. <BR/><BR/>Well, I do hope for your sake that your prediction is not forthcoming Ru. At the moment the British pensions are still OK as are the Canadian so all we can do is keep our fingers crossed.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-45494731039396488602008-10-17T12:00:00.000-04:002008-10-17T12:00:00.000-04:00I love dim sum!

I've been lucky enough to have them quite a few times in Malaysia and Singapore, with Chinese Malaysian friends who know what they're asking for. :) Tried some once here on the rock ... nothing like, alas. :(<BR/><BR/>For my generation, being slightly younger than you, we realise that by the time we get to pensionable age the state pension won't amount to more than a bean. That would have happened without the current recession though (which may or may not scupper any private pension schemes). I'm pretty much resigned to the likelihood of having to work until the day I drop. :\<BR/><BR/>(<I>sorry, deleted my previous comment because I can't spell!</I>)hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-42786264884176841712008-10-17T11:58:00.000-04:002008-10-17T11:58:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.com
