Dim Sum In Ikebukuro (2008-03-07)

Shopfront

Replicas in Chinese restaurants are often exaggerated

Dressed bottles at the cashier

Most of the diners were seated in this section

Women in China dress push carts around, it's pretty kitschy if you ask me

Various (fake) dim sum

Dim sum come in pairs

Tacky pork buns

Innards

Japanese version of suimai (meat dumplings)...(shakes head)

The deep-fried shrimp ball and red bean sticky rice ball were good but a tad greasy and cloying

Last two baskets of dim sum we cared to eat

Typical Chinese dishes

First plate

Dessert for my friend, mango pudding

Congee cart

My friend chose to have all four toppings on offer

I only wanted chopped scallions (a stuffed tofu skin roll on the left)

The courtyard has decorations celebrating winter...

Christmas tree-like setup

Can't wait for Spring to come
