Dim Sum Garden

On day my coworkers and I decided to get dumplings from Dim Sum Garden (1020 Race Street) for lunch. Dim Sum Garden is a popular restaurant in Chinatown, known for their dim sum as the name suggests; however, I have never had a chance to try it. The delivery time was reasonable, but sadly the food came cold. Nonetheless, it was still good. Below is what we ordered and what I can eat.

The Vegetable Dumplings were delicious and beautifully wrapped. They had a mix of things inside- noodles, mushrooms, etc. The wrapping was soft and not too thick or thin. I enjoyed the dumplings.

The pumpkin cakes were interesting. The cakes were basically dough. They were soft and very chewy. Their consistency were similar to mochi, but they were a little more softer and stickier. The outside tannish color might be from frying. These cakes tasted really sweet. I didn't really detect any pumpkin flavor. They tasted more like rice flour and possibly condense milk. Overall, I thought they were too sweet for me. My coworker on the other hand loved the dessert.

Shanghai Stir Fried Noodles with Vegetables was good. I would say that 85% were noodles and 15% were vegetables. The vegetables were mostly broccoli, bok choy, and mushrooms. They were tendered.  I especially liked the noodles. The noodles appeared to be homemade. They were thick and chewy. The seasoning was okay. It mostly tasted like soy sauce.
