Penang Dim sum

You find eateries selling Dim Sum almost everywhere in Penang. Where there is food, there are crowds of people. Somehow men have very sensitive nostrils that can sense the aroma of food no matter how far away. Though Dim Sum is most popular for breakfast, there are coffee shops and restaurants selling Dim Sum for lunch and dinner. Most people never get tired of eating Dimsum as there are plenty of varieties to choose from. The Dim Sum that I enjoyed the most were the ones at the Shang Palace, Shangri-La Hotel, Penang. The Dim Sum are so authentic and taste similar to the ones you eat in Hong Kong.

When my husband visited me in Penang (before we were married), he was facinated by the food. Not only were there lots of choices, the costs were so cheap. A morning breakfast for 4 adults costed us less than US$10 at one of the restaurants along Gurney Drive. He never stops telling his friends in California what a food paradise, the island is. I yearn for Dim Sum and when we want to savor the food, we would drive down to Fresno's Imperial Garden for our Dim Sum meal. Penang Dim Sum is still better!!!
