in search of cheap good food (part 2): Php40 for 8 pcs.

I'm a dimsum snob.  Since I grew up to eating the real thing, it was hard for me to appreciate those joints that offered "dimsum" that tasted nothing like it.  Some of those places that served dimsum I abhorred was Chowking, Hen Lin and Dimsum n' Dumplings.  Well…I used to anyway, at least for the last one. 

My boyfriend, on the other hand, loves dimsum.  Wherever it came from.  But then he loves food, no questions asked.  As picky as I was with my Chinese food, he's the total opposite.   

Given time, my snobbish palate for the geniune dimsum ebbed away little by little.  I'm still picky but I've learned to appreciate that although the dimsum they serve weren't that authentic, it actually won't kill me to eat it hahaha.  One of the things I've learned to appreciate is the Dimsum n' Dumplings that he loves so much.  The D n' D stall at Philam Life's food park has this promo from 2PM-6PM everyday…buy 1 take 1 order for Php40.  That's 8 pieces of dimsum heaven for him.  At first I went with him everytime the craving hit simply to keep him company.  Then I got hooked.

It's actually value for money (though my sister says she can get fried siomai - 3pcs for Php11, how's that for cheap???); but for some reason, it doesn't take away the hunger. Maybe I need 3 more orders?  Hehehe.
