Sunday dim sum
It boggles my mind that Chinese food is so greasy and fatty (we ate fried pork belly…cardiac arrest!) and yet Chinese people are so skinny. On the other hand, I recently learned that Asian people don’t have an enzyme that breaks down alcohol, so they are much more likely to get unbelievably wasted. So I guess their bodies are superior in one sense and under-performing in another sense.
We ate dim sum at Pacificana in the Brooklyn Chinatown – Fort Hamilton – and it was great. Mostly because of the traditionalness of it. The ladies with carts, the people sitting around for hours drinking the tea they brought, and picking at sm, m, l and xl plates of variably fried food.
