We went to New York City for a few days over the long weekend. We spent one day walking around Chinatown where the kids had fun in the shops. Not only were they colorful and interesting, they were also warm inside!
On the streets, the fresh fruit stands were tempting.
Some of the other items we passed...not so tempting. I'm not sure what this is...maybe a pig? Which reminds me of our not-so-pleasant moment at lunch.
We went to a highly rated dim sum restaurant where they roll around carts with different food items for you to choose from. Now, we eat Chinese food alot. Like every week. But not this kind. I now know that I am not a fan of dim sum. Most of it was different foods that had been cooked in dumplings. But, since the servers couldn't speak English, and we couldn't speak Chinese, it was anyone's guess as to what the filling actually consisted of. After tasting some of them, I'm pretty sure we probably ate some of the mystery meat pictured above.
Katherine pointed at one of the items that wasn't wrapped in a dumpling because it somewhat resembled the sesame chicken that she usually likes. But, on closer inspection, we realized that it was chicken feet. Not like chicken tenders. I mean, like, the whole claw. If you are familiar with dim sum, you probably know that chicken feet are one of the more common dishes. We didn't know this, however, until it was too late. Katherine was a good sport and actually attempted to nibble on it a little.
On Friday night, we took the kids to The Gazillion Bubble Show where they got to see some great tricks done with bubbles. Best of all, they had their picture taken inside a giant bubble. Isaac's expression was hilarious! I think he thought he was going to float away inside of it.
