Sunday Green Dumplings

I had a craving for dumplings today and decided to make some - usually chinese dumplings are made with ground pork meat (more fatty). Decided to use ground turkey instead though.. not too bad of a substitute. Mixed the ground meat with ground garlic and ginger, salt, chives and thyme.. then added my own special ingredient to it (non-chinese) - grated chayotte. The chayotte provides lots of moisture and mushy feeling to the dumplings. Perfect compliment in any dumpling I personally think. I steamed half of it and fried half of it.

Saturday Morning Dim Sum with Pravin and Bhavik

Last Friday night, Pravin and Bhavik had stayed at my place after we finished Asian Massive at 1015.

On Saturday morning, decided to take them to Chinatown for brunch. We decided to do some Dim Sum at one of the many dim-sum places on Jackson Street between Kearny and Grant.

We went there around 9:30a.m and it was very very packed. We were probably the only non-chinese people in there.

They pass by with the different dim sum dishes every few minutes and we can pick what we want. We got 6 dishes and that fed us good for all afternoon :)

Dim Sum before work..

Rather than walking or biking to work, decided to catch the Marina express bus.. The closest stop to work is only one and 1/2 blocks away from my favorite hall in the wall dim sum place in chinatown. Hard to resist not having some dim sum..

I had 4 pieces as u see in the pic below..Shrimp and Chives, Chicken and Vegetable, Shark fin steamed dumplings and fried meat dumpling.

All that for $2.20!

The place is called House of Dimsum and is found close to Jackson st and Grant St. (http://www.yelp.com/biz/house-of-dim-sum-san-francisco ).

Gota love working close to Chinatown :)
