    Hey Freddie, you might mention what city you are living in...since I do not recognize the name Tong Kiang I will assume it isn't the DC area.

        it's probably a reasonable assumption, as it does say that this is a San Francisco group in the tribe description - so I always assume that unless someone mentions otherwise.

        What was the highlight, Freddie? Or was it just all great?

            I highly agree. Ton Kiang is amazing. The dim sum is always hot and fresh, not like some of the places in chinatown...

          Thanks for the link.

          Ah, I see they don't have some that I've listed from the favorite dim sums.

          I like this one out in San Bruno by the See's Candies & Arrowhead bakery. It's pretty fresh too.
