NYC microDopefest Dim Sum in Flushing around Nov. 8

I was wearing a blue denim jacket, yes, with a purple polo shirt underneath. Gray hair, crew cut, glasses, about 6 feet tall.

Ate way tooo much :smiley: nom nom nom.

Yep. Didn’t hear you say hi, waited around outside for everyone else, and then, when Darryl showed, you weren’t inside any more. Sorry.

Ate way too much of strange and unidentifiable food.

Specifically, something golden brownyorange with winter melon in it.

That was pretty good sarsaparilla. I’m a chinese cowboy, y’all!

Heh, I didn’t see this until now, but my family is in town and I couldn’t have made it. Flushing is also a bit of a trek for me from Inwood. I hope it was an enjoyable time.

Sorry PRR, I don’t have any particularly good excuses, but my phone is new and it’s not super obvious to me when I get a message. My old T-moblie phone was notorious for not indicating a message until days later. I’m still with T-mobile and I fear that the voicemail is still shit. I forgot to check my email, but I see now that you had left me one. Honestly, I think I just missed you.

Oh well, Jade Asian was pretty great. Most of the servers actually seem to understand English to some degree, unlike Manhattan’s Chinatown. The only unusual thing that I got was chicken feet which was not really very good at all. It’s pretty much cartilage and rubbery skin. I was sort hoping for delicious Kentucky Fried Skin. Also, we had the taro dumplings, which I thought was pretty mediocre but E-Sabbath seemed to like. The other weird thing was the mysterious yellow green jello. We couldn’t tell if it was squash or melon flavored. We concluded that it may have been made from winter melon.

Well, I’m off for more hand pulled noodles and maybe a trip down to MOMA’s new PS1 museum.

Appy polly loggies to all, I couldn’t make it in the end. Went out Friday night and didn’t get home until 1AM. Slept in and made breakfast at home.
