We headed down to Chinatown this morning for lunch with Uncle Tak and Anona. He had invited Mom and Dad out for dim sum and invited us kids. The plan was to go for dim sum at the Bright Pearl, but that place has closed down. We ended up at Xam Yu, across the street, another of Uncle Tak’s favourite restaurants when he comes to Toronto. On the Shrimp Ball plates there were carrot sculptures, we think a lion and a bird.
The bird we’re pretty sure about, but Uncle Tak thought the other was a poodle, I called it a pig when it first came out.
Uncle Tak was having an engaging conversation with Claudia through lunch. He likes kids that can converse with him.

As Angela commented when we were driving up Spadina Avenue, there were a lot of asians around.
