Dim Sum on Saturday

[libertango]

On prompting from holyoutlaw, Ulrika and I went to New Kowloon to meet up with a combination of fannish and LJ folks. marykay was there, as was the incorrectly handled mrhorrible. There was also another woman whose name I'm blanking on right now (though I'm sure Luke will jog my memory)(beachfaerie, sez Luke). The find of the day -- apart from the dim sum, of course -- was the smart, funny, and graciously willing to translate bonvogue.

The dim sum was as one might expect from a good restaurant -- yummy shiu mai, har gow, cha shu bao, etc. Anna ordered a fried squid in salt and pepper for Luke, and he was kind enough to share.

Best moment: Anna somehow dropping something, and apologizing profusely. Ulrika quipped, "I figure you're just trying to make us gwailo at home." Anna blushed brightly, giggled with her hand in front of her mouth in her most traditional and decorous manner, and said at the high end of her soprano, "I can't be-lieve you just said that!"

Me, having long been a student of regional First Nations tribes, I figure the Haida Gwaii have a clan in Seattle, the Haida Gwailo, who are forever in search of tasty chinese-prepared seafood.

Obviously, the New Kowloon is a prime spot for finding this tribe. :)

beachfaerie is the person you're thinking of.

I also remember when Mary Kay was looking up, said "Ah!" when she realized something, and we all turned to look at the door. Hah!
