So, as if we didn't eat enough last night at the Greek restaurant, noon today see us at Gala Seafood restaurant in Richmond. Grace is taking us out to lunch as she flys out to China on Wednesday. She's chosen Gala as its within walking distance of her home but the rain is teeming down this morning so Nancylee and I pick Grace and Mrs Chen up while John brings Nancy and Dave.
The restaruant is heaving with families out for lunch and there's a lineup of people waiting to get a table. Luckily we have a reservation so are seated very quickly. This restaurant is one of the very few that serve Dim Sum in the old way. The waitresses go around the room with a trolley full of the same dishes, announcing what the dish is and if you want it you just stop her. One problem, if your Caucasian you need to understand Cantonese. Were seated in the rotunda part of the building light by an enormous chandelier.

Dave is having problems coordinating chopsticks this trip
Some sweet dishes
Sesame coated melon balls stuffed with a black bean paste
A type of egg custard roll coated with coconut
After lunch we head off th Chapters book shop on No3 road and Penningtons where I get some more pants. (Ok trousers to you):) I find some jeans a size smaller than I normally have and decide to have them. They're stretchy and slightly tight but it's an incentive not to put on too much more weight!!!!! Well hopefully.
