Dim Sum


I will be staying at the Gold Coast next week. Reviews of Ping Pang Pong are generally very good, especially the dim sum. Other than seeing the pictures of the dim sum cart, I have never had any samplings of it. A reviewer said some contain parts of animals Americans might not be used to eating?

Has anyone tried the dim sum at the Gold Coast and care to comment?

thanks.
No canine or feline served, but you will probably be offered chicken feet. As the carts stop at your table just ask what each dish is and, if price a concern, the price category. Items are priced A, B, C, D plus there may be one or more specials.

The more people in your party, the more dishes you will be able to sample. My wife and I usually max out at 3-4. Don't be intimidated, the carts keep rolling so try one dish and then order a second from another cart. No one will be insulted if you don't order anything from them. If you are uncomfortable using chop sticks, just ask for a fork and knife.

The first time we had dim sum was in a large, popular Chinese restaurant in Boston. Whenever a cart emerged from the kitchen, a dozen people would jump and rush to the cart. We would have starved to death if an kindly fellow diner hadn't helped us. You won't have that problem at Ping Pang Pong.

I can almost guaranty, you will have a memorable experience.

Here is a pretty good primer on dim :

Ping pang is the only Chinese restaurant that I've seen that has authentic Chinese dishes. That is either a good thing or not depending on your adventureness.

The joke when I was in China was that China traded all their chicken breasts to the USA in exchange for chicken feet. Never saw any white meat chicken but saw lots of chicken feet on the Chinese menus.
Thanks -- good info. I'll have to give it a try.

Sickest i have ever been was after eating at PPP.
