Dim sum at Shanghai No1 Seafood plus board games

Shanghai No1 Seafood

plus board games

Shanghai No1 Seafood hasn't changed very much.

Interior still the same.

Menu kind of limited, but they have all the basics.

Food mostly came quickly.

Skins on har cheung fun too thick, but flavor was fine.

Bean curd rolls.

Shu mai not pretty, but did the job. Fish roe a bit too strong.

Pai gut was solid.

Ngau paak yip (beef tripe) was done with XO sauce instead of ginger and black beans.

Pan-fried xiao long bao were not bad.

Pei dan sau yuk jook was pretty good.

Tea pot is huge.

Har gow came out late.

They were very decent, skins almost thin enough, and right number of folds.

Receipt.

ici Tea Drinks.

Menu is basic.

Milk tea was excellent. Boba just right balance of soft and chewy.

What kind of fake exhaust tips/fake rear diffuser is this?

Dune: Imperium is always solid.

Harmonies.

Not a winning board, but not bad for first time.

Been many years since going to Shanghai No1 Seafood for dim sum, and honestly felt like they hadn't changed a bit. Food came out (mostly) very quickly, the shu mai was a bit overpowered by the decorative fish roe, and the har cheung fun noodles were too thick. Ngau paak yip (steamed beef tripe) was done in a different style, with XO sauce, but was still pretty decent. Overall verdict was quite passable, but with a somewhat less elaborate menu than their competitors, it's hard to say this place stands out.

ici Tea Drinks after was unexpectedly excellent, drawing rave reviews from everyone. Boba was right balance of soft and chewy, and milk tea quality was good.

Saw a random riced out Honda Accord with some awful fake exhaust tips on the way home, then board games was one long but solid session of Dune: Imperium. Doesn't feel like I am getting the hang of it, but my scores are pretty competitive now so maybe I am? Harmonies was the next game, basically a medium complexity wildlife placement game? Early verdict is fun but needs more playing time.
