Yum Cha Cafe
20111219:
My friend CF likes coming to this location (Yum Cha Cafe Garden Grove) for fast food dim sum. I recall before this location existed, my dad would occasionally buy dim sum from the Yum Cha Cafe in Westminster. Personally, I'm happy with going to the Giai Phat Food Company on Bolsa (Yelp.com link), but I usually only order har gow, so it's possible Giai Phat might not have as good a selection. In general, I don't have any idea of how the three fast food dim sum locations above compare. Yelp.com isn't particularly useful, since Giai Phat only has 10 reviews, making its current rating unstable. Maybe I'll try a blind taste test next summer.
In any case, this outing was funny. My friend JK wanted to get an egg tart. But an order of egg tarts comes with three and he didn't want to eat three. So he asked if I wanted to split an order. I was a little hesitant, because I sort of wanted to eat three myself. But after a moment's thought, I said sure. The thing is, everybody (JK, MT, SH, PN, CF, and I) ordered separately. So we go sit down on the tables they have set out and as JK and I open our containers, we realize that we both purchased an order of egg tarts. But to top it off, CF opens one of his containers revealing another order! It works out in the end, as now there was enough to share with everybody.
