I've added Moon Palace to my list of restaurants to review, but given your very informative comment, I'm not in any hurry.

The date went by and still no answer on the telephone. Finally, last week (late October) a native English speaker answered "Moon Palace. May I help you?" Yes, the restaurant was reopened but under completely new ownership.

A dim sum restaurant recently opened up the road from us: the prices start at £5.95 each (that's about $10!). I'll still go of course, it's dim sum!

You gotta work for it and wait at least half an hour, if not more. And hidden parking makes the dim sum experience even more thrilling.<BR/><BR/>Hehe. Not like I care since I didn't grow up in OC either. I think Julian's starting a trend. ;)Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32801812.post-30677259781011824522007-05-11T22:53:00.000-07:002007-05-11T22:53:00.000-07:00Is that steamed scallops?

It looks really really like the steamed tofu, that is sometimes common in chinese restaurants. <BR/><BR/>I love dim-sum, and usually order those classic ones too! Can't get too wrong with classic orders. Can judge the food quality and authenticity by how the restaurant does it's classis dishes. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32801812.post-56528517972448856722007-05-11T15:20:00.000-07:002007-05-11T15:20:00.000-07:00Lookin' forward to more in this series.

The food is fresher, more authentic, and made with higher quality ingredients. Even the tea is better.
