I always love it when I go out to eat with my college buddies. There is no need for explaining why I analyze, try to pick up on specific flavors & texture, or stare at a plate presentation for a while because- we are all doing the same thing. Thats the great thing about going to restaurants with other foodies and today was no exception. One of my best friends from JWU came down from Boston to visit for her birthday weekend and for the actual day of her bday I had a a couple of places in mind for us along with another college buddy to try. 

            Being a lover of all cuisine asian- i decided we should start off with dim sum for lunch. I always watch the show unique eats on the cooking channel and on one of the episodes they featured Chinatown Brasserie- a restaurant specializing in dim sum-(a style of chinese food prepared in small bite size or individual portions traditionally served in small steamer baskets or small plates)-wikipedia. So off we went to fill up steamed & pan-fried dumplings.

I had not one complaint, all of the dumplings were very good and met all of our expectations. They arrived to our table steaming hot, some soo hot we had to wait a couple of minutes before we devoured them. The ingredients inside tasted fresh and still kept up its integrity and texture within the dumpling. This place gets my vote. If you are ever looking for delicious dim sum, head to the east village to Chinatown Brasserie.
