Melodies of Life

Last Sunday we had dim sum at China Garden Restaurant in Irvine.  This is my favorite dim sum in Orange County.  We order beef tripe, ha gao, ribs, tofu, and other stuff.  Everything is good.

The beef tripe has enough flavor, I didn't eat much since this is not my favorite dish














Ha gao - shrimp dumpling; lots of shrimp inside













Deep fried tofu - crunchy outside and soft inside














Shrimp with bell pepper - I didn't try this dish since it has shrimp and I'm not allow to eat too much seafood














Shrimp rice cake - they make this dish good here..better than lots of dim sum place













My favorite dim sum dish lol..tofu with syrup;  I have tried so many dim sum places here in CA, NYC, and also Hong Kong.  This so far made the tofu the best.  The texture is perfect..very light and soft













My other favorites is egg custard bun..same for this order...no places make it better than here even in Hong Kong.  The egg custard is made to perfection..not oily like lots of places and the bun texture is perfect with the perfect amount of egg custard inside.  I always have to order another order of this togo since I love it so much.
