GoGo DimSum@Chinatown, NYC

In March was like mid-summer and now late April, it's so cold weather like a winter. How long should I wait to see a spring! Jeeez...then finally today is sunny weather to go out. Without any second thought I directly went to Chinatown. I think the purpose of going Chinatown today was  buying a seafood for Paella as usual but weather was too good. After jumped out from a station I ran to one dollar egg cake vendor called "yummy cake" in the Grand street. The Chinese grandpa baked 40pcs tiny bean size cake at a time by only one pan. It seems like he baked dollars on the pan every single minute. Eating yummy cake with black bubble milk tea is always perfect to start Chinatown tour. Like a tourist I looked around all street vendor through little Italy to East Broadway. So hot outside and I felt little tired. I realized it's already 3pm and I am hungry. Where to eat? "Go Go dim sum"??. Neat and moderately large size restaurant. Not my favorite style though I saw a few magazine posters "Best dim sum,,bla bla" and zagat stickers in the window. Seems like many people crazy love this place and I also want to know how great it is. No wonder the restaurant name is "gogo dim sum" it's because they have so many different dim sum menu that I never seen before. Even they serve 10 different vegetable dim sum.  Ok, Let's rock the dim sum! I ordered shrimp dim sum, crab dim sum, mushroom dim sum, shrimp with mango fried roll. WoW~~ I can't describe which one was best or worse. Everything was just so~~good. Combination of ingredient and hand cut pot sticker but also the presentation were super delicate. Taste was very clean and fine. I felt like I haven't had this kind of fancy taste so long. Some Japanese cheap restaurant in the East Village serve instant frozen shrimp dim sum for $6 but here you can have artisan creative dim sum only for $4. Except for employee's little unkind attitude It was very satisfied meal. If you are dumpling maniac, strongly recommend it!
