Dim Sum in Queens- Jade Asian Restaurant

If you’re ever in Queens NY, be sure to stop by Jade Asian Restaurant. It’s one of my favorite Dim Sum places to dine at. They recently renovated it, and I’d have to say the service is much slower than it used to be. The décor is very high-class, not your typical Chinese restaurant, you’d find in New York.

Dim sum is a Chinese cuisine which has a wide range of light dishes, almost like what westerners call appetizers. Best served alongside with teas. Normally, it’s offered in the mornings until about 2 pm. Dishes come served in a bamboo steam basket or tiny plates. They vary from shrimp dumplings (my favorite!), Chinese pastries, steamed chicken in lotus leaf, and even chicken feet.

Yes, I know chicken feet sounds gross, but it’s actually pretty tasty and has a fatty-like texture.
