I mentioned before that Vancouver has a huge asian community. Today I went to the heart of the Chinese community-Richmond.
I joined Danny for lunch with his girlfriend, gf's sister and gf sister's boyfriend. I felt slightly out of place having dinner with 2 couples. We went to this high class Cantonese Restaurant that serves really delicious Dim Sum. It is so good, probably the best I've tasted in my life. A Hong Kong brother (Ryan) once told me that Vancouver, and especially Richmond, has really good restaurant, many of them are even better than HK's restaurant where most of these chef in Vancouver probably come from. Maybe all the good chef come to Vancouver liao, deserting HK.
We went to Aberdeen Mall. Feels like any other asian city. We spent some time in a totally Japanese store that sells everything that you can ever imagine and everything you would never imagine.
Well the best part of our Richmond adventure is the desert. Danny brings us to the desert place that serve soy bean pudding (豆浆）. I added black bean to my pudding. Aiyo, it tasted so good. Really didn't expect to get this in Vancouver. Danny says this is the only place he know in Vancouver. Food always bond people together. I went home feeling satisfy that I had a great day in church worshiping God in the morning. And spend quality time with Danny and Mike in the afternoon at Richmond.

waa...soy bean pudding,my favorite.
very fortunate to have dim sum in Vancouver, somemore made in 'Hong Kong' leh. In singapore, i hardly have a chance to taste good Tim Sum. mmmm... i think e best should b at Crystal Jade ba.. therefore, i alway felt that Hong Kong has got the best one.. but Hong Kong leh.. so far.Remember the place ok.. If, if .... possible, one day we visit you there, you can bring us to Hong Kong Tim Sum ok.

If you are looking for coffee shop Dim Sum in Singapore, you can try the one along Sembawang/upper thomson road. Must try the Chee Cheong Fan, both prawn and Cha Shao also nice. Park on Thong Bee Road
