Dining For Dim Sum in Milbrae

Food memories have always been a big part of me, whether it’s thinking back to a great meal or restaurant. One particular memory that stuck with me is eating dim sum at Chinese restaurants. I never did it too often, but it had a lasting impression. Picking and pointing out your choices that came your way was a rush. Having the satisfaction of eating almost instantly was just an added plus. Most of all, whatever came to the table was just plain good.

And I’ll admit, I love pork siomai, but never saw myself as someone who knew much about good quality dim sum. It didn’t seem too late to start a search, testing and trying different restaurants serving dim sum, to find a favorite spot. So, Rose and I took a trip to the Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Milbrae for dim sum. It’s a place that I picked out because whenever I’m in the area, the restaurant always catches my attention. I mean, the building stands tall on the corner of El Camino and Milbrae Avenue, and is not hard to miss. I wanted to see how their dim sum was.

Having dim sum after such a long absence definitely did bring back good memories. We left satisfied and eager to return back. Of course, I do want to learn more about dim sum, better yet, good quality dim sum. This is just a start. Maybe we’ll find better along the way.
