Dim Sum at Jan's

Our Cincinnati Brunch Club Meetup group met today at Jan's Chinese on Montgomery Rd. in Montgomery for Dim Sum again (our third time). We've been getting acquainted with this fun dining challenge. We sit around a round table with a lazy-susan in the middle.  Pots of Chrysanthemum and Oolong tea are set on the lazy-susan. We pour ourselves some tea and look at the menu for some Dim Sum possibilities.

We had seven people today. I made name tags on my SLP 440 label maker which seems to helps us to become familiar with names and faces. After we get settled with our plates and chopsticks, we still want ice water and forks.

Soon the cart (s) arrive. They are loaded with small, round metal steam baskets of interesting food. We're beginning to know what we like and we also try new items. The crispy tarot root and the turnip square is wonderful. The chive-filled dumpling isdifferent.The shrimp crisps are good, too.

I tried the chicken feet - not much meat and I wondered if I was supposed to munch them to bits! We spun the lazy-susan again and again after loading it up with new dishes from the carts. The dessert cart arrived, too. There were spongy round cakes filled with red bean "jelly" and another coconut round cake had some peanut butter stuffing. The custard dessert was nice, too. And, so was the lemon tart.

We had plenty to eat and some left over for me to share or have as a treat. Total cost per person with 15% tip was about $12.53 - rounded off = $13.00 - one great bargain! Thank you Jan's!
