text: Strangely enough last nights visit to Orchids was only my second time ever having dim sum I am a bad Asian A friend invited several of us to celebrate her successful completion of her doctoral degree and to enjoy some dishes We chose a variety of dishes including the chicken feet the Chinese broccoli the pork dumplings turnip cakes and Peking duck nnPros plenty of parking clean and updated bathroom the sinks were those fancy glass basins that sit on top of the counter and clean floor yes worth mentioning I AM GOING TO Service was pretty good perhaps due to my friend being Taiwanese and speaking Cantonese The cart ladies came around often and prices seem reasonable but I would not know for certain because my friend treated us to dinner Nice or what nnCons personally I liked the broccoli pork dumplings and turnip cakes the best I found the chicken feet greasy and lacking in texture the skin tasted cold and sort of like congealed fat Same with the duck while I enjoyed the flavor of the actual duck meat with the accompanying sauce I thought the skin was more limp than crisp which detracted from my overall enjoymentnnNothing was horrible but nothing stood out as stellar It was a fun evening with some friends and I am glad to have sampled some dim sum again but I think I will check out another Asian eatery next time
