Yummy, yummy


Anyone who has joined us for dim sum at Don Mee's, knows the yummy-yummy lady. She always declares with her sweet smile that her dim sum dishes are yummy, yummy. Today she told me which was her favourite. I have no clue as to its name but it was tasty.

We had sticky rice, two kinds of egg rolls, three kinds of shrimp dumplings, one vegetarian one made with walnuts, an eggplant-shrimp dish, cooked shrimp wrapped in seaweed sushi-style, a slimy noodle beef dish and ginger pork. We also indulged in sweet fish buns, sesame buns and egg tarts. It was a feast that filled the table and needless-to-say, about half came home with us to eat for supper.

We had actually planned on golfing today but it was threatening rain and Glen had a teleconference call which ran for almost 2 hours. By that time, I was 4 pages into writing my new book so didn't want to leave it. We had some banking to do downtown so I suggested we leave here around 11 and hit the BMO on Douglas Street then go to Don Mee's.

After lunch, we stopped at the Triple Spiral in Fan Tan Alley to buy incense although we didn't get the kind Glen has recently adopted as his favourite. We tried several stores with no success so headed home. By then, it was raining hard enough for Glen to put up his umbrella.
