Day 115 - Newness

I've tried out a few new things since I last wrote:

#71 - Dim Sum on Clement--yum.



You know the place has got to be good when it's packed with Chinese people and you hear Mandarin every where you turn. I tried a bunch of stuff where I didn't even know what it was... and it didn't matter. It was all delicious.



Yan here was a tour guide of sorts, telling us what was in each dish. "Who wants chicken feet??"

"Um... we'll pass."



Leslie, Susan, and Cathy. Totally going to eat here again.

New teas have been tasted:

Chai from Other Avenues--Pretty good. There's the right amount of spice, but it's missing a little something. Much better than some other chais I've had recently, though.

Blackberry--I got this in a tea swap, and it's decent. My tea tastes have developed over time, I think. Five years ago I would have been adding a ton of sugar to this and deeming it awesome. Now I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the fruit in my tea. I guess my taste buds have matured?

Organic Green--Also from a tea swap, so I'm not sure what brand it is. It's a decent morning cuppa, but nothing special. Scorches very easily.

Mystery Tea #1--It's a German(?) tea from the swap. It's the first herbal to knock my socks off in a long time--the nice red color hints at hibiscus, but there's some cinnamon in there to add a nice kick. If I ever see it in any kind of specialty shop I'm picking it up. ^_^

Tasting ten new teas didn't take long at all--another item off the list!
