Cambium, did you happen to eat, while you were there, a kind of dim sum - it's a huge dumpling, a little bigger than your fist, or maybe the same size, with seafood and other stuff (like mushrooms or bamboo or other veggies) in it; its also placed in a bowl of soup (broth). I think it's called 'tong gao" in cantonese. Just wondering, cuz when I had it there (they dont have it in US chinese restaurants) it was fuckin delicious.

get a picture on here please, i think ive had that before.


I think that's the thing in the shark-fin soup?

Maybe...?

Well Dumpling is pronounced "Gao Gee" and Tong Gao just means a type of dumpling in soup. Oh and Tong = soup.

I love the size differences of some of the dishes compared to the restaurants in the states. The Noodle Wrap looks like its twice the size of what I usually get here. And the Cow Intestines with turnips, yummmmm.

what ieatkids5 described? nah thats not shark-fin soup. shark-fin soup has a bland color to it and doesnt have mushrooms, bamboo etc as far as i know.

It's this
[image loading]


This is a description from a google search lol
The wrapper of this large dumpling is perfectly thin and fragile, almost gossamer, says Melanie Wong. Inside, there’s chunks of fresh scallop blended with shrimp, grass mushrooms, shreds of dried scallop, black mushroom, and more. And it’s in broth–double-boiled broth, crystal clear, greaseless and light yet intensely flavorful, with briny, savory, and meaty components singing perfect harmony. There’s plenty of this soup, too–enough for a little bowl each for four people. This boon tong gao compares very well to the gold standard version served at the dearly departed Seafood Harbor in Millbrae. This version is a bit deeper and not as ethereal; the dumpling skin is better, and there’s real shark’s fin–a two-inch piece hidden beneath the dumpling.

Apparently, there was shark fin in it, a little bit at least.

I assume 'boon' means 'half' in that description.

Thats just a glorified dumpling, nothing special.
