Western China dim sum

Dim Sum!

Considering Korea is so close to China, you'd expect it to have some amazing Chinese food. This is entirely not the case.

Since Ian arrived, he's been scouring the corners of Seoul to find a decent Chinese restaurant that serves dim sum. The most recent expedition brought Explorations to a place called Western China restaurant. It prided itself with dim sum and that's what sold us to try it out, finally.

We ordered a chicken dish that seemed Asiatic in flavour, a noodle dish, and four dim sum dishes.We should also note, this was dim sum a-la-carte; and we don't mean the usual push around carts that defined Ian's childhood of dim sum meal times.You had to order it from the menu.

We'll skip the other dishes as dim sum was the heart of the course for tonight. The dim sum dishes we had were Har Gaow, Siu Mao, Siu Long Bao, and Law Mai Fahn. Hovering at around 5,000 Korean won a piece or approximately 4.50(USD). Your usual dishes came with 3 pieces. Usually it's 4 pieces an order elsewhere.
