Pine Garden

10 of us headed off to Pine Garden at my aunt/uncle’s country club after Church for lunch. It was Yum Cha style, with lots of dishes in the middle of the big table, for all to share. We ordered a bit of a feast, with multiples of multiple dishes, haha! But it was good and we left totally stuffed :)~

I work with an annoying lady who always like to exclaim that the Chinese just don’t know how to make good desserts. She once went for dim sum and at the end of the meal ordered the “carrot cake” thinking it would be a good dessert. Boy was she shocked. She thought it was really disgusting (smelled bad, tasty weird). I can’t stand it whenever she tells that story. I happen to love that stuff. I also think that there are a lot of Chinese desserts that are delicious.
*lol*!!!!!! She sounds like a redneck that has no idea about culture 😉
there are some Chinese desserts that I like and some that I dislike, same as the Western ones.. maybe some people just can’t get enough of cream/fatty stuff so they prefer Western desserts

yummm…all that food is making me so hungry….
It was a really satisfying lunch.. but too much eating, again!
Is your knee ok? It looks like it’s all taped up.
Wishing you a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2007! *HUGS* *^^*
Yeah.. I’ve got physio and taping for at least 6 months.. 4 down so far :X
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too!
More than half of these dishes are recognizable to me. They are sold in the USA as dim sum and come already made on carts and you point to what you want and they serve you and later count the empty plates to know what to charge you. Dishes range between $2-4 each. A few things you showed are new to me though, mmmmm!
How are your eyes doing?
Yeah yumcha is pretty similar around the world, as long as it’s a Hong Kong owned restaurant. We have the same ‘point-to-a-cart’ concept here too 🙂
Eyes are great, like nothing ever happened.. just that I have perfect eyesight now. Hurray!
all the food looks so delicious!!! 🙂 and you look very pretty in the pics too 🙂
happy new year!! only a few more hours to go….. 🙂
Aww thanks! we all had a really nice time 🙂
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too!
For some reason, my mom does sometimes call it white carrot instead of raddish. Is the yumcha as good back home as in Syd? Syd has such good yumcha, mmmm. :)~
I think it’s pretty similar since they’re all Hong Kong restaurants. Sydney has awesome yumcha so fortunately it’s the same!
OMG, Laguna National Country Club ??? That’s my club =)
Pine’s food are really good, you should try their peking duck =)
Naaah The Pines Country Club!
I always like their food.. their braised peanuts at the start is so good haha. Can’t remember if I’ve tried the duck though?!
Ahh now i know what my fave Yum Cha dish is called! Cheong Fan (with beef)!
Thanks!
I like it too, plus it’s healthy!
Is it called carrot cake, because a radish is considered a white “carrot”? It’s a stab in the dark…
I haven’t been to yum cha in so long but you’re making me crave it.
Ohhh that’s a very good point. Probably!
yah radish is also known as *bai luo bo* white carrot. hehe xD all the food look yummmmmmmmmmy!!!! as usual hehe… HAPPY NEW YEAR!
