Holy crap, that was a phenomenal lunch!

Posted by Stephen, Australian Pirate for the day (aka Sceire) Jan 27 '12, 15:37

Went down to San Jose with the boss to see some clients (an older couple that has known the boss for 30 years) and they decided to take us out to lunch for some dim sum. They ordered everything (they're Chinese and speak it...) so I don't know what everything was, or is called, other than the chow sui bow (and the delicious jumbo prawns) but it was all so good!

And the wife kept putting more and more food on my plate, including insisting that i eat my vegetables (asparagus of some sort that was a bit crunchy for my liking) saying I was young and needed to eat more for my health (really? heh).

If only every Friday was like this!

Bit of Chinese etiquette if it ever happens again: leave something on your plate, or they'll keep giving you more. - mafic Jan 27, 17:28
I love dim sum. Most of the Chinese words I know come from eating dim sum. - Roger More Jan 27, 16:05 1
- That could be it. They also ordered some little greenish dumpling that was filled with spinach and other stuff. The boss took one look at it and took - Stephen, Australian Pirate for the day Jan 27, 16:14

When I went to a Chinese restaurant with someone who ordered in Chinese I wound up eating beef tendon. It wasnt bad but not my favorite -- nm - Dano Jan 27, 15:49 1

- Some place called Dynasty in the Vallco Shopping Mall (which is actually in Cupertino I guess) - Stephen, Australian Pirate for the day Jan 27, 16:04 4
  - That's a really good restaurant. I eat there a couple times a year. -- nm - ceregon Jan 27, 16:31
  - I bet that took over from Todai there. (I went to that location for my bday a couple of years in the past.) good to know it's good! -- nm - b. Jan 27, 16:13 2
    - (I would have lost the bet. it's Tatami that took over from Todai. I just remembered Dynasty is in another part of the mall.) -- nm - b. Jan 27, 18:02
    - Yup. It's too bad I don't get down there very often. It was really cool too, they had tanks set into one wall filled with crabs, etc. - Stephen, Australian Pirate for the day Jan 27, 16:16
Sounds awesome. You are the kind of person people want to be nice to. - Epiphany Jan 27, 15:43 3

    - Yeah, I mean no one wants to think about or hear their father (parents) having sex, but to react the way he did... - Stephen, Australian Pirate for the day Jan 27, 16:10
