Even though it was several days too late, the powers that be thought it fitting to celebrate Dr. Woodchuck's birthday yet again. This time with dim sum in lovely Flushing Queens (which I hear is also the name of internet group hosted by Larry Craig - I love out of date humor). Our venue was the Ocean Jewel Seafood restaurant on 39th and Pine St, if that means anything. We were meant to arrive at one o'clock, however, thanks to a minor error in judgement on my part we took the bus and so arrived several minutes late. Thankfully it was getting past prime dim sum hours so our hosts didn't seem to mind. The room they prepared for us was pretty stylish - a private room with its own karaoke machine. Thankfully, it was too early in the day for anyone to be - ahem - inspired enough to use this feature, but it was nice to know it was there.
As for the food, all I can really say is that it was good. Dim sum is not something I have a great deal of experience with, so I tend to operate on an if-it-looks-good-eat-it philosophy. This works perfectly well if you're eating the food, but not so much when you're writing about it. Hopefully, the good Professor will have more to say on that subject. Suffice to say that if you're in the mood for some dim and perhaps a little sum, you could do worse than to make the trek to Flushing.

How fun! What a reunion! :) The Professor sure knows how to kick a birthday- dim sum style. :)
